The Ontario Conference
By Helen McKinnon
The Ontario Conference and general camp meeting was held at Galt, June 12–22, a good representation being present from all the churches. It was the largest camp meeting ever held in Ontario. There was a large attendance from the city, and in many ways the citizens showed their interest and appreciation. Elder Huntington, recently from Indiana, was left with a corps of workers to follow up the interest. The reports showed that during the last year over sixty persons had united with the various churches. The increase in tithes and offerings over the previous year amounted to about $1,700. There was also an increase in the sales of books, the sales for the year amounting to $3,849.42, wholesale. In the business meetings considerable attention was given to the school work, and plans were laid to start an industrial school in the near future. During the meeting three thousand dollars was raised for this purpose. The following-named officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, J. W. Collie; Vice-president, T. H. Robinson; with S. G. Huntington, Charles Stewart, and H. C. Basney their associates on the executive committee; Secretary and Treasurer, Helen McKinnon; Secretary of the Tract Society, Helen McKinnon; Secretary of the Sabbath-school Association, J. C. Rogers; Treasurer, Helen McKinnon. Elder Brunson was with us through the entire meeting, the burden of his message being a closer acquaintance with Christ. Elder Thompson, president of the New York Conference, was with us a few days, also Dr. Paulson. As the meeting came to its close, all expressed their thankfulness for the privilege of attending, and for the rich blessing received.
