The South Missouri Camp-Meeting

By E. T. Russell

THE South Missouri camp-meeting was held on the German Seminary campus, at Clinton, Mo., August 29 to September 8. About four hundred of our people were in attendance, and the evening attendance of the citizens was good. Many were present in automobiles and carriages, and gave respectful attention to the word spoken.

Elder M. Mackintosh began a series of meetings in the city a few weeks before the camp-meeting, and will continue to follow up the interest for some time. The general laborers present were G. B. Thompson, C. G. Bellah, M. B. Van Kirk, G. F. Haffner, J. H. Schilling, S. N. Curtiss, and the writer.

At this meeting the St. Louis Mission field was again joined to the South Missouri Conference. A good spirit was manifested in all the meetings, and many of the people reconsecrated themselves to God. On the last Sabbath of the meeting twenty-six persons followed their Lord in baptism. The call was made for missions and other enterprises, and about $2,300 was given in cash and pledges.

Elder P. G. Stanley was elected president of the conference. Elder C. J. Kunkel is to make North Missouri his field of labor, and will live in St. Joseph. Elder Z. Walker has accepted a call to the East Kansas Conference, and will live in Kansas City, Kans. Elder H. E. Lysinger will attend Union College this year. Everything seems to indicate that bright days are in store for this conference. May prosperity attend this work, and may the blessing of God rest upon this people. E. T. RUSSELL.
