Greater New York Conference

By K. C. Russell

SABBATH and Sunday, September 10, 11, I spent in Greater New York, attending the closing service of the tent-meetings which have been conducted by Elder O. O. Bernstein and his corps of workers. It was indeed a pleasure to be present upon this occasion, and I only regret that it was not possible for me to visit the other tent companies that have been working in this conference during the past summer.
Sabbath the meeting assumed the form of a revival service, and a number readily responded to the call that was made for them to renounce the sins that were a menace to their spiritual advancement. In the afternoon I spoke on the city work. A lively interest was manifested on the part of those who have been connected with this work, and also of those who have recently accepted the truth.
Sunday evening, the last night of the tent-meeting, I spoke to a well-filled tent on the theme of religious liberty, and a good interest was manifested in the principles set forth. Between twenty-five and thirty persons have accepted the message during this tent effort, regardless of the efforts of the enemy to thwart the work. Besides, there are many other interested ones with whom Bible readings can be held. There is a great demand for Bible workers to follow up the good work begun during these meetings.
It was a pleasure to meet Elders R. D. Quinn and O. O. Bernstein, and other friends, and talk over their work in this great metropolis. I am informed that one hundred fifty persons have taken their stand for the truth as a result of the different tent-meetings held in the Greater New York Conference during the present season. The work of warning this and other great cities is indeed a gigantic proposition; but I believe the Lord will give wisdom to those upon whom this great burden especially rests, to devise plans that the work may be speedily carried forward.
