The services continued at Second and Main Streets until the beginning of the summer camp meeting of 1907, which lasted three months, and was held at 12th and Division Streets, in Portland. The large tent which seated 1000 people ofttimes was filled to capacity and many were turned away. Here, too, persecutions accompanied the preaching of the Gospel in all its fullness, the tents sometimes being pelted with rocks during the services. During these meetings many were converted and received deeper spiritual experiences.
It was at this time that Rev. J.G. Robbins came into the fold. After having been saved and sanctified, he heard one could have “power” to be an effectual witness for Christ. That was something he had been unable to be. When he heard that he could receive this power, he felt that he must have it; and he earnestly sought and received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He became one of the most powerful ministers of the Gospel; and for many years was the assistant overseer of the Apostolic Faith. (For the story of his conversion and life, read Apostolic Faith tract No. 4I and booklet No. 101, entitled “From the Cattle Ranges of Idaho.”)
