New Jersey Conference

By A. R. Sandborn

THE annual session of the New Jersey Conference was held according to appointment in Trenton, August 28 to September 1. This meeting was one of profit and pleasure to all who attended. The spirit of union and harmony was present from the very beginning and continued through to the close of the meeting.
The reports from the different departments showed a marked gain over the previous year. The net increase in membership was about double what it was for 1911. The tithe increase was over $1,600, and the Sabbath-school offerings for missions about $700 more than last year.
The guiding hand of God was manifested in all the business of the conference, which passed off quickly. The following officers were elected: A. R. Sandborn, president; W. B. Walters, secretary and treasurer; H. A. May, secretary of Sabbath-school and young people's departments; and Elder W. C. Moffett, educational secretary. There was only one change made in the committee.
Elder W. A. Spicer was with us and rendered valuable assistance by his timely sermons and counsel. Taking it all in all, this conference was considered one of the best that has been held here, and the people went home with courage for the outlook of the work in New Jersey, yet impressed with the magnitude of the field that we have, as it had been revealed that we are working for ten different nationalities and getting ready to work for two more. Surely God is good and is leading out very rapidly, and our prayer is that we may be able and willing to follow where he leads.
