New Mexico Conference and Camp-Meeting

By Eugene Leland

THE third annual session of the New Mexico Conference was held in connection with the camp-meeting at Luna Park, in the suburbs of the beautiful city of Albuquerque, N. M., August 14-24. Although the New Mexico Conference is a new one, and a small one numerically considered, and although the camp-meeting was held in a part of the conference not easily accessible to a large part of the constituency, yet a goodly number were assembled from the first, the greater number of whom remained in the camp till the close of the meeting.

The conference business was conducted with the utmost harmony and despatch, most of its officers being re-elected. The finances of the conference are sound; and with a good corps of workers, it is expected to see a good work accomplished in the New Mexico Conference during the coming year.

I was especially impressed with the spirit of sacrifice which seemed to actuate the members of this new conference. One brother drove a team two hundred and seventy miles over desert roads to attend the camp-meeting, and he said, before starting back over the long road, that he felt well paid for the sacrifice he had made in coming. Many declared that it was the best camp-meeting they had ever attended. The services were conducted in two languages, the English and the Spanish. The Spanish people seemed especially to enjoy the meeting, and we are sure that it will be long remembered by all who had the privilege of attending it.
