The North Michigan Conference

By J. J. Irwin

The annual camp-meeting and conference were held at Gaylord, August 28 to September 7. About one hundred and seventy-five of our people were present, and the attendance from the city was good most of the time. The business men of the place seemed to be anxious to make our stay as pleasant and profitable to us as possible. All the conference laborers were present, and we were favored with the presence and help of Elders R. A. Underwood and C. F. McVagh and Profs. W. H. Wakeham and C. A. Russell.

Quite an interest was manifested on the part of the young people, and an earnest spirit of consecration was seen. At the close of the meeting thirty-five were baptized.

In the election of officers the writer was again asked to take the office of president, with nearly the same committee as before. The other officers are S. E. Kellman, secretary and treasurer; B. F. Williams, field agent; and Miss Florence Crouch, Sabbath-school and educational secretary.

Among the resolutions passed was one indorsing the twenty-cent-a-week plan. During the meeting about eight hundred dollars in cash and pledges was given for the foreign mission work. In the Sabbath-school on the last Sabbath of the meeting a little over one hundred dollars was given for missions.

Plans are being made for a vigorous campaign along all lines of the church work this winter, and we confidently look for good results. J. J. IRWIN.
