Southeastern Union Conference

By Carlyle B. Haynes

THE Spirit of God continued to bless this meeting from the day of its opening, Sunday, Jan. 7, 1912. A spirit of the utmost unity and harmony was noticeable from the beginning among all the delegates.
Sabbath, January 13, was a day of great blessing. Elder W. T. Knox preached at the morning service on the promises of God; and when the appeal was made for renewed consecration, scores came forward, among them a large number of the students of the Southern Training School. Another consecration service was held in the afternoon, at which Elder K. C. Russell spoke to the young people.
Elder Chas. Thompson was reelected president of the union; Elder C. B. Stephenson, vice-president; W. H. Williams, secretary-treasurer; Prof. H. M. Hiatt was chosen for educational secretary; Dr. A. L. Gregory, medical secretary; Chas. Thompson, religious liberty secretary; V. O. Cole, general field agent; Prof. H. M. Hiatt, Missionary Volunteer secretary; and W. H. Williams, missionary secretary.
During the conference, the daily newspapers of Chattanooga and Knoxville gave many columns of space to the reports of the meetings furnished by the writer. A most enthusiastic class in newspaper reporting met for daily instruction in this most important work. The ministers and other workers in this class expressed a determination to engage more extensively in this work when they return to their fields of labor.
The brethren from outside the union who attended this meeting were Elders W. T. Knox, K. C. Russell, E. R. Palmer, A. J. Haysmer, C. F. McVagh, and the writer. CARLYLE B. HAYNES.
