of Bible truth have dropped into the soil of the heart. It is no easy
exercise, but it is doing good. Impressions are being made upon the
hearts of parents and children. The good these meetings have done
the great day of God will reveal. This is a large field to cultivate. Let
this work be carried on. Where can the talents be better used? These
workers are sowing for a harvest.... Men, women, and children are
anxious to know what they shall do to inherit eternal life.—

Nature Lessons—Children’s meetings were held twice a day. Af-
ter the morning lesson, on pleasant days, teachers and children took
a long walk, and during the walk, by the banks of the river, or in the
grassy fields, a halt was called, and a short lesson from nature given. It
was noticeable that on those days when the children had a ramble in the
fields, they were very quiet and orderly in the camp. The attendance
at the morning meetings when only the children of the camp were
present was thirty. In the afternoon when the school children from the
neighborhood came in, there were from fifty to sixty.—

Reaching Parents Through Children—Our camp meetings are
one of the most important agencies in our work. At every camp
meeting work should be done for the children. Let suitable workers
be constantly educating the children. Ask the blessing of the Lord
on the seed sown, and the conviction of the Spirit of God will take
hold of even the little ones. Through the children many parents will be
reached.—
