The Southern Idaho Camp Meeting

By F. S. Bunch

ThE camp meeting held at Weiser, Idaho, was truly a spiritual feast. The attendance was said to be not quite so large as last year. It could hardly be said to be regular, for many who were present at the first of the meeting returned to their homes, and their places were filled by others who came later.

Weather conditions were not the most favorable, it being extremely warm or uncomfortably cold. Yet there was no complaining.

From the first meeting, there was evidence of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. As the work progressed, the quiet working of the Spirit was

manifest.

The Sabbath meetings were especially helpful. Those who wanted definite help were instructed and encouraged. Parents were burdened for unconverted children, and others whose hearts were troubled for loved ones out in the world were helped to lay hold of the "exceeding great and precious promises." The people of God were encouraged, and many precious souls were born into the kingdom. Some drove in from long distances to attend this meeting, and found him who alone could speak peace to the soul. These returned home with joy, having found the pearl of great price. Thirty-six followed their Lord in baptism and were added to the church.

The meetings of the conference were pleasant, and were as truly spiritual as any part of the camp meeting. Elder J. J. Nethery was unanimously elected president, and T. L. Copeland secretary and treasurer.

Idaho Conference has many bright young people. The meetings with them were among the best held on the ground.

Miss Della Burroway attended this meeting, and gave two or three talks on India. Her personal experiences were full of interest, and were enjoyed by all.

We shall long remember the Idaho camp meeting because of the blessing of God, and the new ties of friendship formed. F. S. BUNCH.
