“To our brethren this meeting has been of the greatest value possible. It has given them much broader ideas of the work for this time, and a much deeper Christian experience. After they had been here one week, they voted almost unanimously to continue yet another week.” —The Review and Herald, March 6, 1894. (LS 348.1) MC VC

“As an outgrowth of the Brighton camp meeting,” Mrs. White afterward testified, “several churches were raised up. I visited the church in Williamstown, and rejoiced to see that many had moral courage to manifest their loyalty to the commandments of God in spite of the continual opposition and contempt that have been heaped upon them and upon God’s holy law.” (LS 348.2) MC VC

“A church was raised up in Hawthorne, and another in Brighton. About sixty belonged to these two churches. A large number of new members have been added to the Prahan church, and to the church in North Fitzroy. Persons are continually coming in who heard the truth at the Brighton camp meeting.” (LS 348.3) MC VC

“Some will say that these camp meetings are very expensive, and that the Conference cannot afford to support another such meeting; but when we look at the three churches that have been organized, and are prospering in the faith, can we hesitate in answering the question, ‘Will it pay?’ Shall we not raise our voices in decided affirmation, ‘It will pay’?” (LS 348.4) MC VC
