Louisiana Camp-Meeting

By C. F. McVAGH.

The Louisiana camp-meeting held at Pineville, July 16-26, was a grand success from every view-point. The attendance was about one hundred, being fully one half the total number of white Sabbath-keepers in the State. The citizens also seemed to enjoy the meetings, and a tent company remained after the camp-meeting, to follow up the interest. The business meetings were harmonious, and I never saw clearer evidences of courage and consecration. During the revival services nearly all sought and found a better experience in the Lord. Five were baptized.

Nearly one thousand dollars was donated in cash and pledges by the little company present. Two new churches were received into the conference by vote. One church building has been completed and paid for during the year, and all branches of the work have been prospered. There has been an increase in the tithe receipts, and the conference is faithfully keeping up the ten-cent-a-week donations to missions. There were no better meetings than those devoted to the canvassing work.

Elder E. L. Maxwell was re-elected president of the conference, and the people returned to their homes encouraged to press the work harder in the future than in the past. C. F. McVAGH.
