The Alabama Camp Meeting

By C. M. SORENSON.

The camp was pitched in a suburb of Birmingham. A tent meeting had been conducted for a number of weeks near the place. There was a good attendance of interested hearers from the city, and many expressed themselves thankful for the help they were receiving through the services.

The president’s report showed that during the year one hundred and thirty-three believers were added to the church, two new churches were received into the conference, two church buildings were erected, and the children of the church were cared for by nine church schools, with an enrollment of one hundred and fifty-five. The people responded freely to the calls for money for the mission offering. The conference fully expects to meet its quota of twenty cents a week for missions.

The laborers from outside the conference were Elders S. E. Wight and L. A. Hoopes and the writer. Brethren G. H. Curtis and J. W. Davis and Prof. L. H. Wood, of the Southern Union Conference, were also in attendance. All departments of the work received attention. Professor Wood labored earnestly for the upbuilding of the Missionary Volunteer and the educational work.

The business part of the conference proceeded in a harmonious manner. Elder A. L. Miller was unanimously re-elected. With a few exceptions the committeemen and the department leaders remain the same as they were. On the last day of the meeting, Brother J. F. Wright was ordained to the gospel ministry.
