In The Olden Days, Did They Ever Plan Special Things For The Youth, Such As Hikes Or Nature Walks?

Tasmania camp meeting, November 28 to December 9, 1895.—A very profitable series of Bible studies with the youth was held each morning. There were about twenty in attendance. Children’s meetings were held twice a day. After the morning lesson, on pleasant days, teachers and children took a long walk; and during the walk, by the banks of the river or in the grassy fields, a halt was called, and a short lesson from nature given. It was noticeable that on those days when the children had a ramble in the fields they were very quiet and orderly in the camp. The attendance at the morning meetings when only the children of the camp were present was thirty. In the afternoon, when the school children from the neighborhood came in, there were from fifty to sixty. ^{26The Review and Herald, February 11, 1896.}LASW 154.1
