Quebec Camp-Meeting

By W. H. Thurston

THE annual conference and camp-meeting of Quebec was held in the village of South Stukely, September 2-12. The attendance was not large, but the meeting was characterized by the Holy Spirit's presence day by day.
Special efforts were made for the young people, and they themselves took quite an active part in the well-arranged program.
The preaching was both practical and doctrinal, and all were encouraged by prayer and the study of the Word. The outside attendance was friendly and appreciative; and some became much interested in the truth; a few accepted for the first time the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
The business part of the conference session was conducted in a pleasing manner, and all passed off harmoniously.
About two hundred fifty dollars was raised for the purchase of new tents, which are much needed in the conference. Over twelve hundred copies of the Dominion Sentinel, our new Canadian paper, were sold, and the book sales were the largest we have had for years. Quite a goodly number of subscriptions were taken for our papers generally, and a spirit of missionary work seemed to impress the people.
Elder Wm. Guthrie was re-elected president of the conference. Prof. F. Griggs, Elder B. B. Noftsger, and Brother I. S. Jones were present and rendered valuable service.
A few of the young people are preparing for active service in the conference, and others will later on. The meeting closed with the song of victory, and all returned to their homes feeling that it had been good to be there.
As all abide in faith and hope and charity, the work will go forward, and gratifying results will be realized the ensuing year. So may it be.
