ATLANTIC CONFERENCE.

By H. W. Cottrell

The annual session of the Atlantic Conference was held at Jersey City, N. J., Sept. 25-30, 1900, as previously announced. The various churches of the Conference were well represented by their several delegates. The attendance was good. Besides the ministers of the Conference, Elders Allen Moon; I. H. Evans; A. G. Daniells, of Australia; G. B. Thompson, of New York; L. T. Nicola; and the writer were present.

The occasion was one of victory. The Spirit of the Lord was present throughout the entire period, and on the part of many was manifested in unusual quietness under a severe test. The preaching was done by the ministers from abroad, who enjoyed the freedom of the Spirit of Christ in drawing practical lessons from the word of the Lord.

The various departments of the work received due consideration. Two new churches were received into the Conference. Elder A. E. Place was again elected president. Brethren Jesse C. Stevens and R. G. Patterson were ordained to the sacred work of the gospel ministry. H. W. Cottrell.
