The Virginia Camp Meeting

By B. G. Wilkinson

THE annual session of the Virginia Conference was held in connection with its general assembly at Richmond, Va., Nov. 10-15, 1914. At this meeting there were many signs which seemed to indicate that there are better days ahead for this field.

During the last two months about ninety-five persons have been added to the church. Some of these new members were present at this good meeting. At Yale about fifty-five have recently embraced the truth, among them a Mennonite minister with his flock of forty members. These latter are mostly Russians. We were glad indeed to greet these brethren, and witness their earnest faith and deep devotion to the truth.

There was a splendid attendance from the outside. The interest in the city of Richmond seemed deeper and fresher and more promising than ever before. Elder W. C. Moffett has recently been elected president of the conference. Quite a change has taken place in the laboring force. There was a good spirit of harmony and cooperation.

We greatly enjoyed the presence of Elder L. H. Evans. We also had with us Brother De Fluiter, who gave good assistance in the music, and Brother Burgan, who helped in the public press work.

About $600 in cash and pledges was raised for the foreign mission work. There was a splendid spirit of revival with all the brethren the last Sabbath of the meeting. We expect to see many evidences of the Lord's blessing in this field the coming year.
