Camp-Meeting at North Yakima, Wash.
By W. F. Martin
This camp-meeting, held June 17-23, was the second in the Upper Columbia Conference this summer. The attendance at this meeting was not so large as at the previous one at Spokane, but a goodly number gathered in from the southwestern section of the conference. The work in this part of the State has had a remarkable growth within the last few years. It was the writer's privilege to labor in this field soon after the work opened here. Then there were only a few Sabbath-keepers; now there are several hundred, a number of good churches, and an intermediate school. The same can be said of this meeting as of the others in the union: "It was a good meeting." Liberal donations were made for both the foreign and the home work. At the close of the meeting, fifty-one persons were baptized, among them being some who were remarkably converted. It was good to see husbands and wives go into the water together, and be buried with their Lord in baptism. It was thought best to move the tent into the city, after the camp-meeting, and carry on a series of meetings. We sincerely trust that the guiding and prospering hand of God may continue to be with the workers and over the work in this part of the great harvest-field.
