The camp-meeting in District 5 was held June 6-11, in a grove near Morrillville post-office, about ten miles from any railroad. There was a beautiful spring on the grounds, which reminded me of the Fountain of life, from which all may drink.
The attendance from abroad was not large, but the people in the vicinity came out well to the evening meetings. Elders N. P. Nelson and H. R. Johnson gave good instruction, which was much appreciated by all. Ninety-six persons were present at the Sabbath-school, and a liberal contribution was made to the needy fields. Nine persons were baptized.

DANNEBROG
By H. R. Johnson
The local camp-meeting at Dannebrog was held, according to appointment, in a beautiful grove in a small park. The surroundings were all that could be desired for such an occasion. About one hundred and fifty of our people were in attendance. The laborers were Elders Nelson, Boynton, and Johnson, Brother A. C. Anderson, and the writer.
Services were held daily in the English and Danish languages. Quite a number of the villagers attended the preaching services. The practical, doctrinal truths for this generation made a deep impression on the minds of those present. After the close of the meeting it was reported that the little village was much stirred over the truths presented. It seemed that special help was given in presenting the Word. The truth was made clearer and more impressive by God's Holy Spirit, and our people were much strengthened. The Sabbath was indeed a blessed day. The hearts of old and young were searched and cleansed by the Spirit of truth. Nine persons were baptized.

SELMA, MESICK, AND CADILLAC.—
May 18 I went to Selma township, where Brother Bristol held meetings last winter. I remained in that vicinity one week, holding services in two places. As a result, one young man started to serve the Lord, and five persons were baptized.
I then went to assist in dedicating the church at Mesick. Meetings were held there for three days, May 25–27. The attendance was large; eight persons started in the Christian life, and six were baptized. May 28 I returned to Cadillac, and the next day I baptized two persons. O. Soule.
Interest Grows in Lansing; Nine Baptized
By L. G. Moore
LANSING.—The interest in this city to hear the truth was never better than at the present time. Nearly every chair is filled at each service. Recently nine willing candidates were buried with their Lord in baptism, and their names were enrolled as members of the church. Others are keeping the Sabbath. The truth never looked better to me than at present, and my courage is good to go forward with God’s people. L. G. MOORE.
