Five camp meetings have already been held, one in each of the States of Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. At each of these general gatherings of our people the annual conferences of the several States were held. Both the religious services, and the business sessions of these annual meetings are reported to us as having been characterized by harmony, spirit, power of the present message, and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Many have been converted to the truth and to Christ at these meetings, and the word and work of God has taken a deeper hold of our people generally. And while many of our young men are dedicating themselves to the work of the ministry, the spirit of sacrifice in order to sustain the rapidly growing work, is increasing with the people. These are indeed favorable omens. Mrs. W. has given very full accounts of the Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota camp meetings since our last issue, which if given in full would alone nearly fill this number. There has never been such meetings of wonderful interest among our people before.
