CAMP-MEETING IN WESTERN N. Y.
By Roswell F. Cottrell
I need not give a detailed report of this meeting. Others have already done that. But I wish to say that it was one of the best, if not the very best, which we have ever had in this State. The number of believers in attendance exceeded our expectation; and the unity of spirit with all was cheering. The good order that prevailed was very remarkable; and outside attendance from the surrounding country was good to the last day of the meeting. When Sunday was past, and the large crowd had dispersed, which of course, assembled merely for recreation and to see what was to be seen, we expected our meeting would consist mostly of those who were tempted upon the ground. But no! still they came at each appointment through the day and evening. And they evidently came to hear. Many tracts were distributed, our meetings were reported in the three leading Buffalo papers and in the paper at Aurora; consequently our work is well advertised in all this region, and a large field of labor is opening. May God raise up laborers, and increase the efficiency of those already in the work. When Bro. White said to us through the REVIEW that we should no longer depend upon the old hands to attend all our camp-meetings, but that the blessing of God would be with us while we went on and held them with such help as we could get, I believed it; and the result of this meeting has confirmed me in this belief. Our cause is onward. Let all press on in the good work as long as time shall last.
