North Carolina Camp-Meeting

By W. A. Hennig

THIS meeting was held in Kernersville, with a good attendance of our people. Two weeks before the meeting a tent had been pitched, in which large numbers of citizens assembled to listen to the truths for to-day. These people, with many from the surrounding country, attended the services each evening during the camp, and there is every reason to believe that some of them will accept the truth.

The camp-meeting was a good one from the first to the last. The people were not only anxious to study the truth, but to do something for its advancement in foreign fields as well as in the home land.

The tithe had been materially increased during the year, but in this the brethren felt that they were still lacking. They were glad to contribute their quota to the $300,000 Fund. Thus far the Southeastern Union, according to its membership, has outrun all other unions. Conditional and unconditional pledges above five hundred dollars were made to the foreign work, aside from collections for the $300,000 Fund. The Sabbath-school offerings for the two Sabbaths of the camp were fifty dollars. God has certainly put it into the heart of this people to do what they can to support the work in the great mission fields. The zeal of union and local officers has contributed much to this good work.

The business of the conference received careful consideration. Brother G. W. Wells had worked hard during the year, and his labors were blessed by God and appreciated by the brethren; but his impaired health would not permit him to take the presidency of the conference another year. He will take charge of the work in Asheville as a union conference

laborer. Brother George M. Brown was elected president, with the understanding that he should be released as soon as his wife is well enough to go back to the great and needy Mexican field.

Brother M. H. Brown was re-elected conference treasurer and secretary. His experience in, and devotion to, the cause, his wise counsel and fatherly care, have been, under God, a great blessing to the work in North Carolina.

The last Sabbath of the meeting was a good day in the camp. Brother W. L. Killen was ordained to the gospel ministry, and twelve persons followed their Lord in baptism. We see much to encourage the brethren in North Carolina.
