We went directly from Vermont to the New York camp meeting. The Lord gave me great freedom in speaking to the people. But some were not prepared to be benefited by the meeting. They failed to realize their condition and did not seek the Lord earnestly, confessing their backslidings and putting away their sins. One of the great objects of holding camp meetings is that our brethren may feel their danger of being overcharged with the cares of this life. A great loss is sustained when these privileges are not improved. {4T 283.2}

Vi tog direkte fra Vermont til New York lejrmødet. Herren gav mig fri til at tale til folk. Men nogle var ikke forberedte til at få nytte af mødet. De indså ikke deres tilstand og søgte ikke Herren alvorligt, bekendte deres frafald og bortlagde deres synder. Et af lejrmødernes store mål er at vore brødre kan mærke deres fare for at blive overbebyrdet med dette livs bekymringer. Der vedblev et stort tab da disse privilegier ikke udnyttes.
