The Georgia Camp-Meeting

By C. B. STEPHENSON

THE above meeting was held in Central City Park, Macon, July 29 to August 8. Over thirty tents were in use. We were glad indeed to see so many of our brethren and sisters on the ground at the first service. The presence of the Master was felt in a marked manner from the first. Perfect harmony prevailed throughout the meeting.

Elders W. A. Westworth, R. T. Dowsett, K. C. Russell, J. W. Christian, and V. O. Cole, together with the home laborers, worked earnestly for the salvation of souls. The business was all cleared away early in the week, so that ample time was devoted to spiritual interests.

The spirit of consecration came in, and all seemed anxious for richer and fuller experiences in things divine. Victories were achieved, and many hearts were set free in Christ Jesus.

We were glad to have on the ground a sanitarium tent, and a trained nurse from the Atlanta Sanitarium. Dr. J. H. Neal rendered efficient help.

A good work was done for the young people. Special prayer-meetings were held for them and by them. A number accepted the Lord.

The last Sabbath was a day long to be remembered. There was deep heart searching by nearly every one present. Many came forward to confess sin and get right with God and man. The meeting continued for nearly three hours. At three o'clock in one of the city parks eighteen were buried with their Lord in baptism. It was a touching scene indeed, as the young and old, blind, halt, and maimed were together led down into the watery grave. Tears were seen flowing freely as the tender Spirit moved upon hearts. About four hundred dollars were given to the different calls.

It was decided to conduct three tent-meetings this summer. One in Atlanta for the colored believers, one at Savannah, and one at Tifton. We have begun meetings at Tifton with a good interest.

May the blessing of the Lord rest upon the laborers in this great State of nearly two and one-half million people with only five organized churches. By the help of the One who is able to accomplish his work, we will do all we can to promulgate present truth.
