    Far-Reaching Influence of the Brighton Camp Meeting

    About a hundred souls were baptized as the immediate fruitage of the Brighton camp meeting, among them the two Anderson brothers (Letter 40b, 1894). Their wives followed a few months later. An evangelistic tent was pitched in North Brighton, and Elders Corliss and Hare continued with a series of meetings that were well attended. Another tent was pitched in Williamstown, across Hobson's Bay from Brighton and twelve miles south of Melbourne. Here M. C. Israel and W. L. H. Baker carried on the evangelistic thrust. Churches were raised up in both communities. Ellen White spoke at both places, several times in Williamstown, either in the tent or a hired hall.— MSS 5, 6, 1894.4BIO 124.3

    Mrs. Press was in the harvest at Williamstown. Almost immediately a private cooking school was conducted by Mrs. Starr and Mrs. Tuxford in the Press home, giving the family helpful guidance in food preparation (Letter 127, 1894). All in all, the first camp meeting held in Australia was a success and served to establish a pattern of fruitful evangelistic camp meetings.4BIO 124.4
