FRANKFORT (KY.) CAMP-MEETING.
By N. W. Allee
This meeting was held in a small, but very beautiful maple grove in Frankfort, the capital city of Kentucky, June 28 to July 8. The grounds were situated in the central part of the city, and were easy to be reached by those coming from a distance, as well as by residents of the city. The number of brethren encamped was small, and yet a fair representation of those living in that part of the territory for which the meeting was appointed. The attendance of the city people was good. The truths presented were well received, and quite an interest was shown to know more of the messages for this time. The preaching was of a practical nature, and was well received by the brethren. An earnest seeking after the life and power of the Word and Spirit was manifested. We are sure that victories were gained. The different branches of our denominational work were considered, also the matter of the organization of the Cumberland Mission into a Conference. The probability is that a Conference will be organized at the time of the camp-meeting to be held at Harriman, Tenn., September 14–23. Elders G. A. Irwin, S. H. Lane, and J. E. White favored us with their presence and help for two days, which was much appreciated. During this time a meeting of the Southern Committee was held, and plans were laid for more aggressive work in this great field. The friends of the cause of present truth are responding to the calls for money to advance the work of the message in this field, and we wish to assure them that we will put forth our best efforts to carry out the instruction that the Lord has given us. Modest and inexpensive buildings for school and church work are being planned for and built; the work in new places will be begun as fast as means, and suitable persons to conduct the work, can be secured. Thoroughly consecrated families with some money can find fruitful fields for work in the Master's cause in General Conference District 2. Small schools can be established in many places. The people are anxious to have these established among them. The Lord is blessing the work that is being done. We are expecting that he will manifest his love and care for his work and his servants in a marked manner as we draw near to him and endeavor to follow his instruction with regard to the work to be done here. This season we are to hold many more camp-meetings than ever before in this District. Brethren, remember the work and the workers here in your prayers.
