South Carolina Conference

By T. H. JEVS.

The annual conference was held August 4-14. Outward conditions were all that could be desired, and the weather was good throughout the entire time. We were not favored with General Conference help, but had efficient help in the union conference officers who were present. Elders Charles Thompson, R. T. Dowsett, M. B. Van Kirk, and Brethren V. O. Cole, L. D. Randall, and Dr. J. H. Neall were with us a part or all of the time. They, together with the local workers, carried the burden of teaching and preaching. A good spirit was present from the first, and a manifest desire to draw near to God. Courage and renewed consecration marked the services. The night meetings were well attended by people from the city, and the preaching was of such a nature as to be interesting and instructive for them. Elder E. W. Carey and myself are to remain to follow up the interest. We hope to be remembered in prayer by all who are waiting for the Consolation of Israel.

The business of the conference was harmoniously transacted. The treasurer’s report showed some gain and few debts. At the closing meeting of the conference, cash and pledges were taken up for the purchase of a new field tent. The officers for the ensuing year remain largely the same as before. A tract society was organized. Sister Eliza Warner being elected secretary. Brother Arthur Manous was asked to take the State agency.

We enter the new conference year facing some grave problems. As those called to bear responsibilities, we crave the prayers and co-operation of our brethren. We are exceedingly anxious that our churches shall rise to their privileges in the matter of tithes and offerings. If the good resolutions formed and expressed at the meeting are carried into effect, a real advance will be made.
