Canada

THE Canadian Union Conference held its second biennial session in connection with the annual camp-meeting of the Quebec Conference, at Knowlton, Quebec, September 1-11. Delegates were present from all parts of the field. Owing to the vast extent of territory covered by the Canadian Union Conference, it is difficult to reach all parts of the field. Yet as the delegates came together, all were ready to sound the note of courage, and it was the unanimous voice of all that greater efforts should be put forth to carry forward the work in this rapidly developing country.

Elders A. G. Daniels and W. C. White were with us part of the time, and their words of counsel and instruction were appreciated by all, and we also trust that as these General Conference men saw the field as it is, its needs will be more fully realized than ever before.

The Ontario and Maritime Conferences are working hard to establish industrial schools, and are meeting with good success. The Quebec Conference is bending its energies to establish a sanitarium. This is a large undertaking for a conference so small in numbers; yet they have gone forward, trusting in the Lord, and the first year's report shows that he has wonderfully blessed the efforts put forth.

Elder W. H. Thurston was re-elected president, and S. D. Hartwell secretary and treasurer. The delegates return feeling anew the responsibilities resting upon them to carry the message to the world, and finish the work committed to them in this generation.
