Wyoming Camp Meeting

By C. S. LONGACRE

The Wyoming annual camp meeting was held on the fairgrounds at Crawford, Nebr., June 3-13. The town does not have many attractions, and consequently the camp meeting was one of the great events of the year for the people of Crawford. Despite the cold and rainy weather, the big tent was packed with attentive listeners every night. Ft. Robinson is about four miles from this town, and many of the soldiers were in attendance every night, and often in the daytime.

About two thirds of the membership of the conference were present, and an excellent spirit prevailed throughout the entire conference and camp meeting. This was particularly manifested in the forward movement of the home missionary work, the liberal offerings for missions, the determination to liquidate the Union College debt by Jan. 1, 1916, and the spirit of revival and consecration. A goodly number were baptized on the last day of the camp meeting.

Elder N. T. Sutton was again elected conference president, and there were practically no changes in the conference and tract society officers. The union conference laborers present were Elders R. A. Underwood and J. W. Christian, Brother J. H. McEachern, and Dr. Anna B. Durrie. The writer was the only general worker in attendance.

The meetings were a great blessing to the town, and it was decided that Elder C. H. Miller should bind off the interest with a tent effort. C. S. LONGACRE.
