HUTCHINSON, MINN., CAMP-GROUND.
By C. W. Stone
Eld. Canright and I arrived at this place Wednesday P. M., June 12. We were somewhat surprised to find eleven tents pitched and some fifty or sixty brethren and sisters in camp, intending to have the benefit of the whole meeting. The ground is that occupied last year. It is in a beautiful grove close to the town, five minutes’ walk from the post-office. Just back of the grove runs a nice little river in which so many were baptized last year. Bro. Battin gave the first discourse last evening in the hall used by our brethren in the village. To-day we have held two meetings, in each of which Eld. Canright has spoken an hour to the ministers, giving them very practical instruction, and a second hour was used by the brethren in expressing opinions, asking questions, and discussing points suggested in the lecture. To-night there are nineteen ministers in camp, and nineteen tents are pitched. The weather is fine, and all expect a pleasant and profitable meeting. C. W. STONE.
