New Mexico Camp Meeting

By W. L. Adams

The New Mexico Conference and camp meeting convened September 2. Elder G. F. Watson, the president of the Southwestern Union Conference, Elder F. W. Paap, A. F. Harrison, and W. L. Adams were in attendance from outside the conference, and practically all the workers of the local conference were on the ground.
This being a small conference, less than one hundred were camped on the grounds, but a very good interest was evidenced from the first. Many from the town attended the night services regularly, and not a little interest was manifest. Quite a number are deeply stirred. The tent had been erected some time before the camp meeting was to convene, and the straight preaching of the Word had its effect.
Our regular work was conducted promptly, and a good response was made to the appeals for means with which to conduct our mission work. The Sabbath school offerings were about the same as they were last year, although fewer were in attendance this year. A number of pledges to the foreign mission work were made, and these with the offerings in the Sabbath school, just about cleared the $666 which they were behind on the Twenty-cent-a-week Fund. Much interest was shown in the missionary work in the churches, and the young people seemed more determined than ever before to do their part in this closing work.
On the last Sabbath of the meeting, twenty-three followed their Lord in baptism, some of whom lived in the town of Clovis, where the camp meeting was held. Many others are much interested, and we believe that a great harvest of souls must result from the work in that place. Elder R. B. Coberly was re-elected president, and we believe that a good work is going to be done during the coming year. The other officers are about the same, with the exception of the secretary and treasurer of the conference, Brother L. J. Black being elected to fill this place.
