The Virginia Camp-Meeting

By B. G. Wilkinson

THE twenty-seventh annual session of the Virginia Conference was held in connection with the Virginia camp-meeting at New Market, on the campus adjoining the Shenandoah Valley Training Academy. Though not a full representation from all the different parts of the State was present, nevertheless there was a good attendance.
The business of the conference was carried on in a spirit of harmony, all the brethren co-operating heartily for the advancement of the work of God. Elder Stewart Kime, of Southern California, who recently accepted a call to labor in the Virginia Conference, was present, and the Lord blessed his efforts.
Excellent service was also rendered by the laborers of the conference who were present. We were favored a part of the time with the labors of Elder W. T. Knox from Washington; and Brethren F. I. Richardson and E. R. Numbers, representing the publishing work of the union, were also present and gave excellent assistance.
The Lord came very near during this meeting; all felt that it was one of the best meetings ever held in Virginia. Many responses were made to the calls for the unconverted to turn to God, and for backsliders to return to the path of duty. There was also an excellent response to the presentation of the $300,000 Fund and the “Ministry of Healing” campaign.
The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, H. G. Thurston; secretary and treasurer of the tract society and of the conference, A. M. Neff; secretary of the Sabbath-school department, Naomi M. Herrell; religious liberty secretary, Stewart Kime; field missionary secretary, V. O. Punches; secretary of the educational department, Professor Forshee. Executive committee: H. G. Thurston, R. D. Hottel, A. C. Neff, Stewart Kime, J. E. Gardner.
The usual credentials, licenses, etc., were granted to a goodly force of workers. Resolutions covering the great issues now before us as a people were brought in, and discussed with enthusiasm by the delegates present. We feel satisfied that this camp-meeting will result in the advancement of the cause in Virginia. B. G. WILKINSON.
