The Growth of Camp-Meetings
It is now sixteen years since the Seventh-day Adventists adopted the plan of holding camp-meetings and during this time the interest in them has steadily increased until the present summer will witness larger and more interesting ones than ever before. Commencing in the early spring these annual gatherings are held in each of the Eastern, Western, Middle and Southern States as far as Alabama and Texas, including several on the Pacific Coast. Not less than thirty of these State meetings will be held this year and as in former years will be marked with the most perfect order and quietness. Over one hundred thousand people attend these meetings during the season many of whom, for the first time, become acquainted with the views of this denomination.
