The Texas Camp-Meeting

By C. B. HUGHES

This meeting was held in a suburb of Fort Worth, July 21-31. The only General Conference laborer present was Prof. H. R. Salisbury. In addition to the union and local conference laborers, Elder C. Santee was also present. Prof. G. A. Grauer, of the German Seminary, and Brother Leer, of California, labored for the German people.

While the membership is less than last year, there has been an increase of ninety-eight, the apparent decrease being due to the fact that the West Texas Conference has been organized since the last meeting, with a membership of about three hundred. The present membership of the Texas Conference is 1,393.

A tithe of $14,352 was paid during the past year. During the present meeting five hundred dollars of the tithe was voted to the General Conference. It was also voted to sustain a laborer during the coming year in the West Texas Conference. About four hundred fifty dollars was pledged to the Keene Academy improvement fund, and the people promised to sell “Christ’s Object Lessons” and other books to the amount of about six hundred dollars for the same purpose.

The president’s report showed seven ordained ministers and one licentiate. Elder L. W. Terry was again elected president of the conference. There was a good spiritual interest throughout the meeting, forty-nine persons being baptized at its close.
