Northern Michigan Camp-Meeting

By K. C. Russell

THIS meeting was held in Traverse City, August 25 to September 4. The camp was easily reached by the people of the town, and the evening services were well attended. Harmony and unity characterized the business proceedings. During the day, the preaching services were of a practical and spiritual nature, and the evening sermons were devoted to the presentation of doctrinal themes. The last Sabbath of the meeting will long be remembered by all present, and we trust that the good work begun and revived in many hearts will prove to be permanent.

The various branches of the work received attention. It was especially gratifying to see the interest taken by the people of this conference in the education of their children. Where such a spirit prevails, there may be expected many recruits for the work of the Lord.

The people in the North Michigan Conference are willing and ready to do all in their power to advance the work of the Lord. This was demonstrated by nearly all doing something, regardless of their limited financial resources. A good amount was raised in cash and pledges for the work of the conference and for the $300,000 Fund.

Besides the regular laborers of the conference, Elder Allen Moon and other union conference laborers were present, and helped in the meeting. Elder J. J. Irwin was re-elected president of the conference.

Good results have attended the work of the laborers in this conference during the past year. Especially has the work among the Chippewa Indians, in the copper-mining regions, been blessed.
