THE MONTANA CONFERENCE.
By W. T. Knox
The second session of the Montana Conference convened at Helena, March 12–18. While the attendance of this young Conference was necessarily small in comparison with similar gatherings where the truth has been established for years, yet the meeting demonstrated that this people, to whom has been intrusted the light of truth, are alive to their responsibility, and are earnestly endeavoring to be faithful to their trust. While the meeting was distinctly a conference, there was a deep spiritual movement felt by all throughout. The various reports submitted revealed that a healthy and encouraging growth had been made in all phases of the work. An increase of $1,169 in tithe, a proportionate increase in contributions, a material decrease in the old indebtedness of the tract and missionary society, an addition of one church to the Conference, an increase of about sixty-five members, making the present membership three hundred and thirty-nine, and a general activity among the members in church work, were some of the encouraging items of which mention was made. The following persons were elected to serve the Conference for the coming year: President, Elder W. B. White; Secretary, Mrs. Nettie G. White; Treasurer and Missionary Secretary, W. J. Felt. Executive Committee: W. B. White, J. H. Behrens, J. C. Foster. Sabbath-School board: President, L. A. Gibson; Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs. J. H. Behrens; W. B. White. W. T. KNOX.
