What is SNEC Campmeeting?
Two Sabbaths a year, many local churches, including the Hudson S.D.A. Church shut their doors and the members unite and attend a fun filled, learning experience called Campmeeting. The English speaking Campmeeting is an 8 day long event, where one can stay in a tent, or R.V., on the Southern New England grounds in South Lancaster and study and share more about Jesus, and health, and witnessing, etc. with like minded individuals. It is seen as an important part of growing in Christ, and growing as a community.
The greatest attendance is on the Sabbath services on both of Seventh-days. The evening programs starts on Friday at 7PM and morning Worship Services starts on Saturday at 10:30AM through Noon. They are held in the grand Pavilion. These services are usually broadcast Online as well.

How to Watch SNEC Campmeeting Online
The Campmeeting Worship Services for the Southern New England Conference are hosted on Vimeo.
Did you miss one? Don't worry because the past events are documented for viewing at a later date and can be seen by scrolling down on that site. You do Not have to join Vimeo, nor Login, nor go live, to watch an event; in fact, unless you are already a Vimeo member, doing so will waste your time and might hinder your ability for viewing the program.
Look for the rectangle under the heading Live & Upcoming Events on the Left hand side of the screen. This rectangle is called a thumbnail and
Clicking this rectangle will open the video player, even though it does not have the characteristically common triangle in a circle in the center as a play button. Still, press on this rectangle, or thumbnail to start. See the screenshots below...
If the event is Live, it should say Live in a mini rectangle at the top left corner of the rectangle under that section, and say Live Now in red letters, under the rectangle.
Sometimes the rectangle thumbnail is uploaded for a placeholder, before the video is available. If the event is not available, yet the box is there, nothing you do will get it to start!...as there is no video to play yet. You just have to wait for the recording to start. (Trust me, pressing Go Live in the upper right corner will not help, nor Logging in will not help, Joining will not help, and please do not agree to pay money, there is no need to do that to watch the video!) Just keep trying to press that rectangle, and when it is ready, it will play.
But if the event has already been uploaded and you click the rectangle, it will open a large video player, you will see a Watch Again button on the left side of the player, (even if you did not watch it before). Press that to start watching the video. If you pause the video, the common triangle in a circle play button will display in the center of the video player.
If the video is no longer live, the rectangle should have the word Ended in a small black rectangle at the top left corner of the rectangle, or thumbnail, if you will.
The Screenshots below of the Vimeo site are not live an used for example only.
The hand drawn red arrows are for direction and are not on Vimeo.

Substitute Bible for Fiction

High-Class Fiction

Both old and young neglect the Bible. They do not make it their study, the rule of their life. Especially are the young guilty of this neglect. Most of them find time to read other books, but the book that points out the way to eternal life is not daily studied...--Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 139. CSW 24

There are works of fiction that were written for the purpose of teaching truth or exposing some great evil. Some of these works have accomplished good. Yet they have also wrought untold harm. They contain statements and highly wrought pen pictures that excite the imagination and give rise to a train of thought which is full of danger, especially to the youth. The scenes described are lived over and over again in their thoughts. Such reading unfits the mind for usefulness and disqualifies it for spiritual exercise. It destroys interest in the Bible. Heavenly things find little place in the thoughts. As the mind dwells upon the scenes of impurity portrayed, passion is aroused, and the end is sin.
Even fiction which contains no suggestion of impurity, and which may be intended to teach excellent principles, is harmful. It encourages the habit of hasty and superficial reading, merely for the story. Thus it tends to destroy the power of connected and vigorous thought; it unfits the soul to contemplate the great problems of duty and destiny. By fostering a love for mere amusement, the reading of fiction creates a distaste for life’s practical duties. Through its exciting, intoxicating power it is not infrequently a cause of both mental and physical disease. Many a miserable, neglected home, many a lifelong invalid, many an inmate of the insane asylum, has become such through the habit of novel reading. It is often urged that in order to win the youth from sensational or worthless literature, we should supply them with a better class of fiction. This is like trying to cure a drunkard by giving him, in the place of whisky or brandy, the milder intoxicants, such as wine, beer, or cider. The use of these would continually foster the appetite for stronger stimulants. The only safety for the inebriate, and the only safeguard for the temperate man, is total abstinence. For the lover of fiction the same rule holds true. Total abstinence is his only safety. CT 383 |
