Camp-Meeting at Spokane, Wash.
By Arthur Orville Tait
The camp-meeting held at Spokane, Wash., from May 27 to June 2, was marked by some very encouraging features. The attendance from without was good until the very last; and as the appointed time for the close of the meeting drew near, it became manifest that the interest was so great that some one must be left behind to carry it on; so Brethren F. A. Detamore and W. T. Hilgert, with a corps of workers, remained to carry on a series of meetings. The Spokane church will render special assistance, as there is quite a number of our people in that city. The conditions that are obtaining throughout the world are becoming so marked that there is a deep interest to study the prophecies of the Bible which tell the meaning of these things. There were 115 tents on the ground, and about 700 persons in the encampment. Thirty-eight conversions during the meeting was one of the interesting results; and fifty-two persons in all, were baptized on the last Sunday of the camp-meeting proper. Over $4,000 was raised on the ground for foreign missions and the various local demands, only a small part of this, however, being reserved for the local work. Five tent companies went from the camp-meeting into the field to labor. The brethren in charge of the work there feel much encouraged because of the unmistakable evidences that the cause of God is going forward with strength and power.
