Southern Oregon Camp-Meeting

By W. F. Martin

This meeting was held, according to appointment, at Roseburg, May 9-19. The same grounds were used as last year. Elder C. W. Flaiz was present during most of the meeting, and took an active part in the preaching. The brethren and sisters appreciated his counsel and sermons very much. Elder A. O. Tait spent one day on the ground, and gave two good talks on the prophecies. Profs. E. C. Kellogg and M. E. Cady each spent a few days on the ground, and did good work for Christian education. These brethren, with the local laborers and the writer, did the preaching during the meeting. Brother W. R. Beatty was present a part of the time, and assisted in the book work on the ground. Although the strawberry festival was held in the city at the time of the meeting, the outside attendance was good, and a deep interest was manifested in the word spoken. Notwithstanding considerable work has been done in Roseburg, and last year the annual camp-meeting was held there, at no time in the past has there been so deep an interest as at present.
Those who camped on the ground earnestly sought the Lord, and as a result his presence was in the camp. From day to day God's people gained a deeper experience. At the close, it was the unanimous opinion that this was the best camp-meeting the people present had ever attended. This is as it should be. As we draw nearer the end, our meetings should grow better. There were forty family tents on the ground. The attendance at the Sabbath-school was 248. That was larger than last year. Liberal donations were made for all the needy causes presented.
At the close of the meeting, six were baptized. Elder F. S. Bunch was again chosen president. But few changes were made in any of the conference officers. The people went from the ground with excellent courage, and we are sure there is a good year ahead for the Southern Oregon Conference.
