Cumberland Conference

By P. G. Stanley

Since our union conference held in Atlanta, January 10-19, we have, in connection with our various official duties, been pushing vigorously the $300,000 Fund. We are pleased to report at this writing that we have our entire quota raised, with three hundred dollars in advance. We still have a few small companies and isolated members to help us swell this amount. We have also raised a substantial fund to purchase a new outfit for our camp-meeting dining-tent, which will be run this year on the cafeteria plan.

March 6-13 we held a most successful canvassers' institute in Cleveland, with nineteen workers present; a number of these are in the field, and are doing excellent work.

We have dedicated one church, and organized another of sixteen members at Athens. Our tithe is coming up, and new life and inspiration is taking hold of our people. All our workers are of excellent courage, and are having success in their work.

Two of our faithful canvassers have awakened an excellent interest for a tent-meeting in Whitwell, a town of four thousand inhabitants, located in the Sequasia Valley. A Methodist minister near this city has become deeply interested in the truth by reading our books. He has voluntarily offered us the privilege of preaching the truth in twelve churches now under his jurisdiction. We expect to step into this opening, and ask an interest in the prayers of our people for the success of the work.
