Northern Wisconsin Camp-Meeting.
By E. E. Olive
THIS meeting was held at Duck Creek, four miles west of Green Bay, Sept. 4-8, in a beautiful grove of pines. Sabbath-keepers were present from all parts of northern Wisconsin. About 120 camped on the ground. Elders Decker and Sanborn did most of the preaching. This was the first meeting of the kind that many of the campers had ever attended, and all seemed to appreciate the privilege. A very interesting Sabbath-school was held, in which nearly 100 took part. There was quite a heavy rain on Sunday, which prevented the people in the city from attending, but it gave an opportunity to continue the good work begun on Sabbath, and the plain, practical truths presented, with the blessing of God did much good. About twenty made a start to serve the Lord, and ten were baptized. Two men traveling westward came near the camp-ground at the beginning of the meeting, and stopped for a few minutes under the shade of the trees, to rest their horses. Becoming interested in the preaching, they asked the privilege of pitching their tent in the camp, which was granted. They stayed till the close of the meeting, and both accepted the truth, and one pledged $50.00 to the cause. On Monday they went on their way rejoicing in the truth of the Third Angel's Message. The brethren in this part of the State are quite poor, but when the wants of the cause were presented before them, $488 was soon pledged. The meeting closed Monday morning, and the brethren separated with a determination to strive more zealously for a home in the kingdom of God. This meeting will no doubt prove a great blessing to the cause in this part of the State, as it has been to all who attended. E. E. OLIVE.
