We returned to Michigan, and after a few days went to Lansing to attend the camp meeting there, which continued two weeks. Here I labored very earnestly, and was sustained by the Spirit of the Lord. I was greatly blessed in speaking to the students and in laboring for their salvation. This was a remarkable meeting. The Spirit of God was present from the beginning to the close. As the result of the meeting, one hundred and thirty were baptized. A large part of these were students from our college. We were rejoiced to see the salvation of God in this meeting. After spending a few weeks in Battle Creek, we decided to cross the plains to California. {4T 283.3}

Vi vendte tilbage til Michigan og efter nogle få dage tog vi til Lansing for at deltage i lejrmødet der, som fortsatte i to uger. Her arbejdede jeg meget alvorligt og blev støttet af Herrens Ånd. Jeg blev velsignet stærkt i min tale til studerende og i arbejdet for deres frelse. Dette var et bemærkelsesværdigt møde. Guds Ånd var til stede fra begyndelsen til slutningen. Som resultat af mødet, blev ethundredeogtredive døbt. En stor del af disse var studerende fra vort college. Vi blev glade for at se Guds frelse ved dette møde. Efter at have brugt nogle få uger i Battle Creek, besluttede vi os at krydse slættene til Californien.
