Nebraska Conference Workers’ Meeting

By A. T. Robinson

PURSUANT to appointment, the Nebraska Conference spring workers’ meeting was held in the Seventh-day Adventist church at Hastings, Neb., April 14-24. With one or two exceptions, every worker on the conference list was present, and nearly every one from the beginning to the close of the meeting.

The united testimony of all was that it was the best meeting of the kind ever held in the Nebraska Conference. From the beginning to the close we held before ourselves a picture of the small results that have been seen in our home work and the great dearth of workers and means in foreign fields. The Spirit of the Lord witnessed to our study of this subject, and every worker who goes out from this workers’ meeting goes with his soul afire with a determination to see greater results of his labors the coming season, or step aside and give place to others. The conference committee felt called upon to give a very searching study to the revision of the list of conference workers, and as the result five persons were retired to make room to take in young persons who have been trained in the ministerial class in Union College.

A carefully prepared program had been previously arranged, and different ones had given special study to subjects assigned them. These topics were presented in a most striking manner, and many of the papers presented were followed by an interesting and profitable discussion. Several of the evening services were devoted to a strong revival effort, when large numbers in the congregation renewed their consecration to the service of God. Backsliders were reclaimed, and six young people gave their hearts to God for the first time. We look forward with bright hopes to the coming season’s work.
