Quebec Camp-Meeting

By W. H. Thurston

The Quebec camp-meeting was held at Ayres Flat. The camp was nicely located, the weather was fine, and the attendance was good, both of our own people and of others. Elder G. B. Thompson, of Ontario, was in attendance nearly the entire time, and rendered valuable service. Elders Watt and Farman, of Vermont, were present a few days, and took an active part in the work. The message for this time was clearly presented, and as a result some of the citizens became interested.

Dr. Lemon, of Newfoundland, gave several talks on the medical and educational work. Dr. White, of the Knowlton Sanitarium, was not able to attend the meeting on account of a pressure of work in the institution.

The baptismal service took place on Sunday, the last day of the meeting, and was a very pleasant and impressive occasion.

Quite a number of the Vermont brethren and sisters joined us in the meeting, and their presence and words of cheer were much appreciated. On the whole, the meeting was a very enjoyable and profitable one.

The Canadian Union Conference held its annual committee meeting in connection with the camp-meeting, and audited the accounts, and formulated plans for the ensuing year. It was thought by the committee that it would be advisable to hold the next session of the Canadian Union Conference in Montreal or some other large city, and make a strong effort to reach the public.

It is hoped that as a result of this good camp-meeting every man, woman, and child in the Quebec Conference will take hold with new courage in advancing the work of God. The work is to be finished, and let all work earnestly, watch carefully, and pray fervently. Let there be delay no longer on our part in doing what God would have us do.
