The Quebec Camp-Meeting

By H. F. KETRING

THE camp-meeting of the Quebec Conference was held according to appointment in a beautiful grove near the fair-grounds at Waterloo, Quebec, August 27 to September 6. The first Sunday of the meeting a temperance rally was held, in which a minister from Waterloo and a temperance worker from Montreal participated, together with the workers of the camp-meeting. The meeting was well attended, and all seemed well pleased with the results.
The business sessions were held in connection with the camp-meeting, and perfect harmony prevailed throughout the meeting. The business was all disposed of by Wednesday, and the remainder of the meeting was devoted exclusively to spiritual work. Elder W. H. Thurston, president of the Canadian Union Conference, has been filling the office of president of the Quebec Conference the past year.
The following officers were elected for the coming year: President, Elder Wm. Guthrie; secretary and treasurer, Darwin Dingman; Sabbath-school and Missionary Volunteer secretary, Mrs. G. H. Skinner; field missionary secretary, Elder G. H. Skinner; missionary field agent, I. S. Jones; religious liberty secretary, Elder Wm. Guthrie; auditor, W. H. Knowlton. Executive committee: Elder Wm. Guthrie, Darwin Dingman, Elder G. H. Skinner, John Booth, and O. Davis.
Elders E. R. Palmer and Wm. Guthrie, and the writer, were the workers present from without the conference. The work of Brother Palmer was especially appreciated, as he pointed out the advancement the publishing work has made during the years since its beginning.
The weather for the meeting was all that could be desired, and the last few days showed a marked increase in the attendance of our people. The last Sabbath was especially marked by the presence of the Holy Spirit in the camp. Nearly every one in the tent manifested an earnest desire to get nearer to the Lord, and we believe all went to their homes greatly encouraged by the meeting. The attendance from the city was good during the entire meeting. Every thing indicates that the Quebec Conference will have a prosperous time during the coming year. May the Lord give special wisdom to those in charge, that the work in that part of the field may be quickly done.
