PACIFIC UNION CONFERENCE.

By John Norton Loughborough

SINCE my last report I have attended four local camp-meetings in this Conference. The first was at Bountiful, Utah, ten miles north of Salt Lake City. This was held from August 8-18. This meeting was attended by about sixty-five of our people, and was a source of strength to the cause in that new field. It is reported by the workers that the public interest is increasing in that field.
The second meeting at Bozeman, Mont., from August 13-19, was attended by about ninety of our people. Not only was this meeting a source of strength to those already in the faith, but the public interest demanded a continuance of the meetings. At last report ten or more had already taken their stand with our people.
The third meeting was at Missoula, Mont., from August 25 to September 1. In the Sabbath-school the second Sabbath there were one hundred and fifteen in attendance. Brother Knox, President of Pacific Union Conference, was with us the most of this meeting. The spiritual tone of this camp was good. Like Bozeman, the public interest was such that it was decided to continue the meetings. Brother White, President of the Conference, is much encouraged with the outlook in his field.
The fourth camp-meeting was at Seattle, Wash., in the North Pacific Conference, from September 5-15. The Sabbath-school the second Sabbath of this meeting numbered two hundred and fifty. Besides many of the Conference laborers, Brother Martin, of the California Conference, aided in the labors of this meeting. The large church in Seattle could have derived more benefit from the meeting if more of them could have camped on the ground. It was not deemed needful to follow up this meeting, as it had been preceded by a tent effort.
Brother Knox and myself are here in Portland, Ore., on our way to attend the camp-meeting at Weiser, Idaho. These local camp-meetings have afforded an excellent opportunity for personal labor with the people. Many souls have come out into the liberty of the gospel, and many others have taken their stand with the Lord's people. To the Lord be all the praise.
