Indiana Camp-Meeting.

By James Harvey

Our late camp-meeting in Indiana was by far the best that has been enjoyed by the friends of the cause of present truth in this State. Our hearts were made to rejoice by seeing sister White, Bro. Haskell, and Bro. and sister Lane, and to hear their words of good cheer and warning, and to feel the melting Spirit of the Lord that accompanied their burning words. It was also cheering to meet so many of the dear friends who have lately embraced the truth in Rochester and Bourbon through the labors of Brn. Waggoner, Lane, and Kenyon, and to see the union that characterized all the business meetings of the Conference and the T. & M. Society.

I cannot refrain from weeping when I look back on my waywardness in the past, and say, Bless the Lord, O my soul, and praise his holy name that he has borne with me thus far, and that I still have a place with this dear people, and can see the vail of deistical error torn from so many honest ones in this State, and see them stepping firmly out upon the elevated platform of present truth.

Courage in the Lord, brethren and sisters. Let us be more faithful in the future, and work as we never have in all our lives before, to get the light before our fellows. Let us live so that the Lord can approve of our ways, and soon this message will swell to the loud cry and close in power; and then we will meet, not in cotton tents, to be together for but a few days, but we will meet inside of the transparent walls of the glorified city of God, to dwell in its mansions forevermore.
