Utah’s Conference and Camp Meeting

By W. M. Adams

THE fourteenth annual meeting of the Utah Conference was held on the beautiful campus of the school ground in Kaysville, September 7-13.

A camp meeting was held at the same time and was greatly enjoyed by all. It had been seven years since the last camp meeting was held in this State. The people unanimously voted to hold another next year.

The laborers from outside of the conference were Elders E. E. Andross, E. W. Farnsworth, and G. W. Reaser, also Brethren C. Conard and C. E. Weaks. Their help was much appreciated. A good spirit prevailed, and the meetings were of a practical nature. The business of the conference was transacted without a discordant note. The same officers were reelected.

Over $1,100 was pledged for the educational work in the union conference. About eighteen persons were baptized during the last year, and three were baptized at the camp meeting. The sales of our tracts and books amounted to over $4,000. The tithe fell a little short of last year, while the offerings to missions increased over $500. The Sabbath school offerings exceeded those of last year by $209, while our conference raised $100 more than its quota in the Harvest Ingathering work. A new church building is nearing completion in Ogden.

Our people returned to their homes with a new determination to help finish the work. Our laborers also enter upon their work for this year with renewed courage, confidently expecting souls for their hire.

We received a very hearty invitation from the citizens of Kaysville to hold our next conference and camp meeting in their town. Brethren, pray for the work in Utah that it may be finished in God’s way and time.
