The Cumberland Conference Camp-Meeting

By K. C. Russell

THIS meeting was held in the grove in the suburbs of the beautiful and thriving city of Knoxville, Tenn., September 6-16. It was my privilege to spend only a little over a day at this meeting, which embraced the first Sabbath. In view of my brief stay with them I was accorded the privilege of conducting all the services on that day. The Lord greatly added his blessing to the words which were spoken during the forenoon service, as about forty souls responded to the call that was made for those who desired to get rid of the sins that had been holding them in bondage. In the afternoon I spoke on the World-wide Mission Field, after which a collection was taken up for this work. It was evident that the Holy Spirit had been working with many in a practical way, for, notwithstanding the small congregation present, there was an aggregate of $174.75 given in cash and pledges. The attendance from the outside at the evening service was excellent. Elder S. B. Horton, president of the Louisiana Conference, was at this meeting, and remained throughout the greater part of it.

This was not a business session of the conference, so the services were devoted to the spiritual interests of those present, and to a consideration of the different phases of the work of God for these times. K. C. RUSSELL.
