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. {LS 228.2}

Vi tog direkte fra Vermont til New York lejemødet. Herren gav mig frihed til at tale til folk. Men nogle var ikke forberedt på at få noget ud af mødet. De erkendte ikke deres tilstand, og søgte ikke Herren alvorligt, bekendte deres frafald, og bortlagde ikke deres synder. Et af de store formål med at holde lejrmøder er at vore brødre kan mærke den fare de er udsat for, at blive overbebyrdet med dette livs bekymringer. De lider et stort tab, når disse privilegier ikke udnyttes.
