MINNESOTA CAMP-MEETING.
THE time for this important meeting is almost here. How rapidly the time has passed since our last annual gathering! We have been hurried on one year nearer to the close of the work, one year nearer to the final deliverance of God’s people, one year nearer to the closing work of Jesus as high priest, where he stands to offer pardon to sinners, and righteousness to all that seek him with all the heart. Many are now planning to plant their fields with good seed at the earliest possible date, that they may secure a good harvest in temporal things. With what care and painstaking labor they will cultivate the seed sown, that the weeds shall not choke the corn, so that it bring forth no fruit to perfection. This is right; we should be “diligent in business.” But is this the most important work committed to us? – Oh, no; the all-important object of life is to learn how to honor and glorify God while in this world, so that we can be intrusted [sic] to stand as his children, in his presence, throughout an endless eternity, with those who will esteem it a privilege to praise and honor “God and the Lamb,” because through their love they have been redeemed at such infinite cost. If we take this view of life, we shall not act as though temporal things are of the most value to us; but while we are “diligent in business,” we shall be “fervent in spirit serving the Lord.”
In the light of this thought; how shall we regard the coming camp-meeting? In many respects it will be the most important one ever held in the State. Being nearer the end, and thus nearer the close of such privileges, they become more and more precious. And as the enemy is laying his plans for his final work of deception, and opposition to the closing work of the gospel, how much more important that the people of God gather to counsel together, and seek wisdom from God that they may know how best to labor for the advancement of his work during these last days of peril.
Many parents said last year at the close of our good camp-meeting, “If we had realized the importance of this meeting before we came, we should have brought our children with us.” They felt that they had made a great mistake in thus undervaluing the importance of the meeting and the salvation of their children. Arrangements are being made for children and youths’ meetings, and we believe we shall see a large number of these classes in attendance. Important measures adopted by our last General Conference will be considered, and we expect the help of the President of the International Tract Society in that branch of the work. The health and temperance work will receive attention, and we have some hope that a competent cook from the Sanitarium will be with us through the workers’ meeting and camp-meeting, to give instruction in healthful cookery. The Sabbath-school work will not be neglected, and the religious liberty work will receive attention. We expect help from abroad in the foreign languages.
Elder Haskell, who is well known by the Minnesota Conference, and has just returned from a missionary tour around the world, will be with us, and will be prepared to tell how God is preparing the way for the closing work of the gospel in other lands.
The workers’ meeting will begin May 26; the camp-meeting proper, June 2, and close June 9. The meeting will be held at Minneapolis, and we are trying to get the same ground as last year, with fair prospects of success.
A canvassers’ institute will precede the workers’ meeting, commencing May 19. It will be held at the church in Minneapolis, conducted by Brn. C. M. Everest and F. L. Mead. We desire that all the tract and missionary society directors shall attend this institute, and prepare to canvass for Good Health in connection with their work. We expect the same reduction of fare to the meeting as obtained other years, and the same general arrangements for the camp. We will speak more definitely later about some of these things.
This meeting will close my labors for the present in this Conference. The time has been spent very pleasantly by me, and I should be glad to see all the dear brethren and sisters, and enjoy with them the blessings of this meeting before I leave for other fields of labor.
Elder Breed, of Wisconsin, who has had a long experience in the work, and has for several years so successfully managed the work in that State, has been recommended by the General Conference to labor in this Conference, to fill the vacancy caused by my removal. His past experience, together with his present faith in the work and personal experience in God, insures greater prosperity to the cause the coming year.
Let us all commence now to seek God, and examine our hearts, and confess our sins, that God may come in and greatly bless his people at this meeting.

MINNESOTA CAMP-MEETING.
This meeting will be held on the same ground as last year. The place is known as Pleasant Park. To reach it, take the First Avenue electric motor at the corner of Washington and First Avenues South for Washburn Park, and leave the car at Forty-fourth Street. Those coming June 1, 2, 3, will be met at the depots by a man wearing a camp-meeting badge. He will assist you in getting to the street-car, and will take baggage checks, and see that the baggage is delivered on the ground. To avoid mistakes, do not give your checks to any one not wearing a camp-meeting badge.
Tents will rent the same as last year: size 9 x 10, for $1.75; 10 x 12, $2.00; 12 x 14, $2.25; 14 x 16, $2.50. Those desiring tents should send in their orders at once to D. W. Emmerson, Box 989, Minneapolis, Minn. Do not forget to state the size you want.
The health and temperance work will be conducted by Elder Wakeham, and a cooking school will begin May 26, conducted by sister Evora Bucknum. We expect this will be attended by a goodly number of our sisters throughout the State.
All delegates are requested to be present ready for the first meeting of the Conference, June 2, as we desire to have all business finished before the Sabbath. Bro. Woodward gives notice about reduced rates of fare to the meeting. We hope all those laboring in the employ of the Conference will be present at the commencement of the workers’ meeting. Please make out your report of labor, closing the year with June 1, and send it to the Conference secretary, Elder D. P. Curtis, Hutchinson, Minn., by May 23. This will enable the auditing committee to begin their work the first day of the workers’ meeting.
We hope these suggestions will be carefully read and heeded.
MINN. CONF. Com. – Review and Herald, May 19, 1891
REDUCED RATES FOR THE MINNESOTA CAMP-MEETING.
WE wish to make some suggestions regarding reduced rates for those who will attend our camp-meeting. We are glad to be able to announce that the rate of a fare and one third for the round trip has been granted us on all the Southern and Western roads, also the St. Paul and Duluth. We are corresponding with the Great Northern, Soo Line and the Northern Pacific, and hope to receive a favorable reply from each, but cannot announce it at this writing. All other roads in the State, except the Duluth, Redwing, and Southern, over which our people must travel in coming to the camp-meeting, have granted the reduction.
Certificates must be obtained from the agent of whom tickets are purchased, showing that full fare has been paid in coming to the meeting. When two or more roads are used, a separate ticket must be purchased over each road, and a certificate obtained with each ticket. This does not apply to those coming from points on the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, via Kasota and the Omaha Line. Those coming by this route may purchase a through ticket, taking a certificate from the agent of the C. & N. W. R. R., which will be honored by the Omaha agent in Minneapolis. Great care must be taken to have the agents fill out these certificates properly, and especially to see that they are stamped with their office stamp. A little care and watchfulness of this kind will prevent delay and possible loss at this end of the route.
We would urge upon all the necessity of obtaining certificates; for unless these are secured, the roads positively refuse to return any one for less than full fare. Persons coming via the Great Northern, Soo Line or Northern Pacific, would do well to demand a receipt for their ticket, or a printed certificate (if it could be obtained), so that in case the reduction is secured they can take advantage of it.
These rates have been secured for the workers’ meeting as well as for the camp-meeting proper, so that certificates can probably be obtained by those coming on the 24th and 25th of May. If these directions are followed carefully, we can see no reason why there should be any trouble.

THE CAMP MEETING SEASON.
‘Twill Be Opened Today By the Seventh Day Adventists.
The Seventh Day Adventists of Minnesota are “early birds” in the matter of camp meetings, and if the ancient adage pans out properly they will catch a good many worms this week. Their annual outdoor convention opens today. They have chosen a new camping ground, out at Pleasant park, not far from the Washburn home. The car line to Washburn park affords good transportation facilities, and the ground lies nicely. The convention lasts a week, beginning today.
It was a busy scene to be witnessed thereabouts yesterday. The finishing touches were being put upon a regular little village, all of white canvas. It is divided up by streets, and the houses are numbered, city fashion.
Over a hundred tents are erected and other going up. One hundred and seventy people are on the ground already; many more are expected tomorrow and next day. A large pavilion capable of seating several thousand, stands on a grassy knoll, surrounded by shade trees. Other large tents are to be seen in different parts of the ground for holding meetings.
There will be services three times a day, at 10:30 a. m., 2:40 and 7:30 p. m.; preaching in the English, German and Scandinavian languages. A number have been on the grounds for a week, engaged in Bible and temperance studies, and laying plans for next year’s work. One of the features of the camp meeting will be the cooking school. This was in session yesterday. Miss Buckum, of the medical sanitarium, Battle Creek, Mich., conducts this department.
Several speakers from abroad will be here, among them Eld. S. N. Haskell, who has recently returned from a tour around the world, under the direction of the Seventh Day Adventist foreign mission board.

The Saint Paul Daily Globe, June 6, 1891
… I reached the Minnesota camp-meeting at Minneapolis, Wednesday, June 3, the second day of the meeting. About 125 tents are pitched, and 400 persons are estimated to be in attendance, with others coming on every train. A successful workers’ meeting preceded the camp-meeting. One hundred were present, and in addition to the work done in preparing the grounds, excellent meetings were held. Elder Grant pronounces it the best workers’ meeting ever held in the State.
Elder Haskell is here preaching faith and courage with his old-time vigor and earnestness. The story of his recent missionary experiences is evidently taking deep hold upon the hearts of the people. Elder W. H. Wakeham is present in the interests of the health and temperance work. A feature new to Minnesota is the cooking school, which, under the charge of Miss Evora Bucknum, of the Sanitarium, is attracting much attention, and doing much good.
The business meetings of the Conference show advancement, $16,523.14 in tithes being paid this year, about $4, 000 more than last year. Five new churches have been received, and the additions during the year have been 182. The weather has been cloudy and very cold for two days, which has, doubtless, made the attendance smaller than it would otherwise have been; but many more are expected to-day and to-morrow, and everything seems to indicate a prosperous meeting.
P. S.—Elder L. Mc Coy has just come to represent the interests of the Sanitarium, and Elder J. M. Ericksson to labor for the Scandinavians.

CAMP-MEETING NOTES MINNESOTA.
The cold weather continued during the Minnesota meeting until Sabbath morning, without rain however, when the clouds broke away, and fine weather prevailed until the close. Prof. Prescott, on his way from the northwestern camp-meetings to Battle Creek, was detained by a washout (providentially, some thought), and had to spend the Sabbath at the camp. Accordingly, he was invited to take charge of the revival service in the forenoon. The Holy Spirit attended the preaching of the word, and a large number came forward for prayers. After this service, the inquirers retired to another tent, and the work was continued till two o’clock. One of the results of the work done was the baptism of forty-three candidates in Lake Harriet, Monday afternoon.
The sessions of the Conference were harmonious throughout. A kind, brotherly spirit characterized all that was said and done. The people were loath to give up Elder Porter, but did so without murmuring, and will follow him to his field in Africa, with their sympathy and prayers. The progress of the work the past year has been encouraging. The tithe was increased $4,000; most other funds had a corresponding increase, and none fell behind the previous year. Five new churches were added to the Conference, and the additions to its membership were nearly 200. Removals, deaths, etc., reduced the increase for the year to about fifty. The death of Elder Norlin, the only ordained Swedish minister in the Conference, was severely felt; but the ordination of Bro. John Hoffman to labor in the same language, will in some measure fill the vacancy. Three other brethren were also ordained – H. F. Phelps and Byron Tripp to the English work, and H. F. Graf to the German. Two new licentiates were added to the working force, and five young men were recommended to enter the field as tent-masters. The canvassing work has been prosperous. During the past year over $30,000 worth of books have been sold, and the prospect for the coming year is even better.
A good interest was taken in the educational work. Bro. Henry arrived Monday morning, and addressed the congregation in behalf of Union College. The needs of that institution as set forth by him, had been anticipated by the pledging the day before, of enough to finish ”paying the State’s apportionment of $6,600, with the exception of $200. Considerable real estate was also purchased. Under the head of educational work may be properly mentioned Elder Mc Coy’s efforts in the interests of The James White Memorial Home. He made an earnest plea for the fatherless, who could not speak for themselves, and his remarks reached the hearts of the people.
Upward of eighty addresses were obtained of those who are interested in our schools, and who desired catalogues. Over half of these expect to attend either Battle Creek College or Union College the coming year.
The outside interest was better than in former years on the same ground. Sunday was a beautiful day, and hundreds visited the camp. It was noticeable that but few sight-seers were present; nearly all listened attentively to the sermons. The English tent was comfortably filled, and the Scandinavian and German tents were crowded all day. Four public services were held in English. Elder W. H. Wakeham spoke in the forenoon on temperance. Elder Haskell, in the afternoon, showed how God is controlling the nations in the interest of the proclamation of the gospel. A little later, Elder Porter gave an address on religious liberty, and in the evening he preached his farewell sermon. The best of attention was given to the preaching in all the languages, and we had many evidences that a good impression was made. Some remarkable conversions were reported. A Scandinavian, a member of the Baptist Church, came on purpose to see if what the ministers had told him was true; viz., that we taught justification by the law and not by faith in Christ. Before the meeting closed, he publicly confessed that he had received the greatest blessing of his life; and he went home an avowed S. D. Adventist, to tell his friends that the ministers were mistaken. A young lady came on purpose to oppose, but was forced to testify before the meeting closed, that she could not withstand the truth any longer, and on Monday she was baptized. A brother had a wife who bitterly opposed him. He prayed earnestly that she might be led to come to the meeting and be converted. On Friday she came, was converted on the Sabbath, and was baptized with the rest.
The cooking-school attracted favorable attention from outsiders. It began in the dining tent, but the attendance was so great that it was moved into a tent 40×60 feet. It finally broke over all bounds, and was thrown open to the public in the great pavilion. This was the first time Minnesota, has had a cooking-school, and it was regarded on all hands as a success. Both the dining hall and the provision stand were conducted on strictly hygienic principles. I heard no criticisms, but everywhere words of commendation. Sister Evora Bucknum, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium Training-school, conducted the school, and superintended the dining department.
People were pleased as well as surprised at the provisions made for their comfort in the reception tent and elsewhere. Teams were taken by attendants, cared for, and brought back to the owners on the presentation of checks. Nearly everybody took out a quarter or half-dollar, and was greatly astonished when pay was refused. Some were overheard to say, “This beats all we ever saw in the line of free accommodation.”
The meeting closed with the heartiest good feeling on the part of all. Elder Breed enters upon his work with the confidence of both people and workers, and the prospect is good for a prosperous future for the Minnesota Conference.
C. C. LEWIS – Review and Herald, June 23, 1891
CAMP-MEETING COOKING.
THERE were many things to be considered by those going out to hold cooking schools and to take charge of the cooking in the dining tents at our camp-meetings during the past year, and it has been thought that a brief review of some of that work might aid those who should engage in it this year.
There was first the great necessity and importance of knowledge upon the subject of healthful cookery.
For this reason, it seemed necessary that instruction should be given not only in the principles of true health reform and a description of methods of preparing foods, with practical demonstrations of these methods before the classes, but, that, as the most impressive representation of these principles, the tables of the dining tents should contain as great a variety of foods as possible, – a greater variety than would be necessary or desirable for ordinary living; also, that time should not be consumed in preparing many of those things with which the people were already familiar, since two weeks is a very limited time in which to present a small part, even, of what it has taken years to develop.
Next, was the fact that there are many, who, from a lack of knowledge of correct principles, and from hearing of, or perhaps seeing, the mistakes of would-be reformers, have formed the idea that health reform is a sort of starvation, dyspepsia-producing diet, something that people are really better off without.
What better way to correct these wrong impressions, in regard to that which the Lord has considered of so much importance as to give us page after page of instruction upon, than to set before such persons, each day, for two weeks, a variety of palatable, carefully prepared, wholesome food.
Then there was the expense to be thought of. Of course, those who appreciate the sacredness of the Lord’s money, and know the self-denials of a people not rich in this world’s goods, would feel that all things not necessary to meet the above conditions – some things which many families could easily have – must be excluded from the bills of fare of such meetings, and also that there should be no waste of the materials furnished.
Below are some sample menus of meals prepared at the Minnesota camp-meeting, each day of the two weeks having just as great a variety, with no two days alike.
BREAKFAST, WEDNESDAY, MAY 27. Fresh Strawberries, Wheaten Grits, Cream Toast, Chopped Potatoes, Graham Gems, White Bread, Caramel Coffee, Hot Milk, Stewed Fruit.
DINNER, TUESDAY, JUNE 2. Rice Soup, Mashed Turnips, Hominy Bread, Graham Crackers, Strawberry Short-cake, Stewed Raisins and Prunells.
BREAKFAST, THURSDAY, MAY 28. Strawberries, Graham Mush, Tomato Toast, Corn Meal Puffs, Bread, Caramel Coffee, Hot Milk, Stewed Apples and Apricots.
DINNER, SABBATH, JUNE 6. Swiss Bean Soup, Canned Corn, Pearl Barley with Raisins, Bread, Crackers, Hickory Nuts, Prune Pie, Lettuce.
Everything for the Sabbath dinners was cooked the day before, so that all could attend the meetings.
We give a quotation from a letter written by the President of one of the Conferences where such bills of fare were followed :
We served 998 meals, of which 408 were free; sold tickets at twenty cents each, or six for one dollar. After paying all expenses for material (both for cooking school and dining tent), rent of dishes, stores, tent, lumber, etc., used in connection with the dining tent, we had a profit of $3.18; which we consider an excellent showing for the first attempt at a cooking school in our Conference.
The grocery stand cleared just about the same as last year, and there is one thing to be remembered in making this comparison, that everything in the line of fruits was higher this year than last.
Our Conference that had usually run behind, cleared ten dollars, and another, at which the bills of fare were not quite so extensive, cleared from fifty to seventy-five dollars more than it ever had before, with fewer boarders. We have encouraging reports from laborers in the Conferences, to the effect that wherever they go, they see the influence of the instruction given at camp-meeting.
We also have seen results this winter, in the bright, active, devoted workers who have come from these Conferences to be educated for different lines of medical missionary work.
A dish of hot gruel, or some other grain preparation, with sweet unleavened breads and plenty of the luscious fruits which nature supplies us so bountifully with, for breakfast, and a good, nourishing, hot soup, with breads, nuts, and fruits, for dinner, served in a simple, but neat and orderly manner, will be (Testimony, Vol. II, pp. 602, 603) amply sufficient to keep our bodies in the very best condition, and leave our minds clear and able to grasp spiritual things.
Since those who prepare the meals are deprived, to some extent, of the meetings, it seems of great importance that only devoted, consecrated ones should be selected for the work of the dining tent, those, also, who realize the sacredness of the work, who feel that in every dish they wash, every apple they pare, every vegetable they put to cooking, they are engaged in the work of the Lord.
The hearts of a company of consecrated workers will be so full of the love of Christ, that it will flow out in all their conversation and actions, and our dining tents will become such holy, sacred places, so filled with light, that all who take their meals there will be affected by it.
It does not seem quite clear yet, as to what is the best manner of serving meals, but experience will enable each one to find the best method.
We know that “there is order in heaven, and God is well pleased with the efforts of his people in trying to move with system and order in his work on earth.”- Testimony, Vol. I, p. 191.
While to a good degree system and order have always characterized our camp-meetings, it seems especially necessary to guard, in this respect, so important a place as the dining tent, since there are few things more embarrassing than confusion at meals.
The least important of the considerations in this connection, is the cost, but it is a commonly recognized fact among proprietors of hotels and boarding-houses, that where meals are served in individual dishes, and in courses, much less food is consumed; this was appreciated by those interested, last year, at the meetings where this system was followed.
One who has given the subject careful consideration said that he was satisfied that it would pay a Conference, just from a financial point, to hire a large number of dishes, and if necessary, pay several extra waiters, so as to serve meals in this way.
It would often, too, prevent such embarrassing mistakes as using the whipped cream, intended as a dressing for the pudding, for gravy upon the potato, or of leaving the macaroni until the last, thinking it was dessert.
Another thing is the influence upon the public. It is our desire to impress favorably all classes of people, and there are many whose hearts are honest, and whom the Lord loves, that, from their education, judge an individual more from his table manners than from almost any other one thing.
If such sit down to our tables and have the foods brought to them somewhat as they are accustomed to have them at home, a good impression is made at once, and the truths presented from the pulpit will be more apt to reach their hearts.
But the most important point of all to consider is the one great object for which the meeting is held, – the growth in grace, the increase of spirituality among ourselves.
Overeating is said to be the sin of this age, and we are warned against being overcharged with surfeiting at this time. Luke 21:34. Eating too much causes a dull stupor, and in this condition one will fail to grasp the most precious truths or to be aroused by the most earnest appeals. Thus we see it is possible to defeat, at our tables, the very purpose of the meeting, and if there is any way by which, with a little painstaking and care in serving meals, we can help one brother to place his feet in the path of temperance and so prevent the loss of his soul, is it not worthy our consideration, though it may be at the sacrifice, for a few days, of our own inclinations?
