South Carolina Camp-Meeting

By W. A. WESTWORTH

THE first annual camp-meeting and conference of the South Carolina field was held according to appointment at Greenville, S. C., July 24 to August 3, on the city park about a half-mile from the center of the city. The attendance was fair considering the size of the conference, and the interest and missionary spirit manifested were very good.

Besides the regular conference workers there were present Brethren R. T. Dowsett, W. R. Hanson, V. O. Cole, and the writer. The work of the session passed off harmoniously, and we believe that with the zeal manifested the future of the conference is a bright one.

Several new churches, with a total membership of fifty-seven, were admitted to the conference, showing that the Lord had gone before the workers and had helped them.

Elder R. T. Nash was re-elected as president for the ensuing year, and Brother E. W. Carey was ordained to the sacred work of the gospel ministry.

The various lines of our work all received attention, and steps were taken in advance lines all around.

At the same time the camp was held, a tent-meeting for the colored people was being conducted in another part of the town by Elder Sidney Scott, with a large attendance (numbering from three hundred to five hundred nightly) and a good interest. The omens for a bountiful harvest from this effort are very hopeful. The work in South Carolina is onward. W. A. WESTWORTH.
