East Michigan Conference

By G. B. Thompson

The session of the East Michigan conference held at Lansing was in every way a most excellent and profitable meeting. The churches were well represented by delegates, and all entered most heartily into the work of the meeting. The spirit of unity which characterized the conference was very encouraging. While the reports of the different committees were carefully considered, the decisions concerning the plans for advancing the work were generally unanimous.

The financial reports rendered were in printed form, and arranged in a way to be easily understood by all the delegates, and showed an encouraging growth in the various departments. There was a gain of nearly four thousand dollars in tithe over the previous year, as well as a substantial gain in offerings.

But few changes were made in the officers and heads of departments for the coming year. Elder E. K. Slade was unanimously chosen president.

Throughout the conference the spirit of devotion was manifest. The Sabbath was a good day for all. The Lord came near, the Holy Spirit reproved of sin and unfaithfulness, and the spirit of confession and a desire to put away sin were felt in the hearts of all.

We believe that all returned to their homes from this meeting with a deeper desire than ever before to do aggressive work for the Master, and be among the overcomers when Jesus comes.
