The New England Conference -- When we arrived at Boston,
Brethren Wood and Haskell met us, and accompanied us to
Ballard Vale, the place of meeting. There we were welcomed
by our old friends with a heartiness that was restful. Much
labor was required at this meeting. New churches had been
raised up since our last campmeeting. Precious souls had
accepted the truth, and these needed to be carried forward
to a deeper and more thorough knowledge of practical
godliness. p. 236, Para. 5, [LS15].
On one occasion I spoke in reference to genuine
sanctification, which is nothing less than a daily dying to
self and daily conformity to the will of God. While in
Oregon I had been shown that some of the young churches of
the New England Conference were in danger through the
blighting influence of what is called sanctification. Some
would become deceived by this doctrine, while others,
knowing its deceptive influence, would realize their danger
and turn from it. Paul's sanctification was a constant
conflict with self. Said he, "I die daily." 1 Cor. 15:31.
His will and his desires every day conflicted with duty and
the will of God. Instead of following inclination, he did
the will of God, however unpleasant and crucifying to his
nature. p. 237, Para. 1, [LS15].
We called on those who desired to be baptized, and those
who were keeping the Sabbath for the first time, to come
forward. Twenty-five responded. These bore excellent
testimonies; and before the close of the camp meeting
twenty-two received baptism. p. 237, Para. 2, [LS15].
We were pleased to meet here our old friends of the cause
whose acquaintance we made thirty years before. Our much
esteemed Brother Hastings was as deeply interested in the
truth as ever. We were pleased to meet Sister Temple, and
Sister Collins of Dartmouth, Mass., and Brother and Sister
Wilkinson, at whose house we were entertained during our
first labors in connection with the third angel's message.
p. 237, Para. 3, [LS15].
Meeting in Maine -- We left Ballard Vale Tuesday morning,
September 3, to attend the Maine campmeeting. We enjoyed a
quiet rest at the home of Brother Morton, near Portland. He
and his good wife made our tarry with them very pleasant.
We were upon the Maine campground before the Sabbath, and
were happy to meet here some of the tried friends of the
cause. There are some who are ever at their post of duty,
