South Texas Camp Meeting

By J. A. Leland

The annual camp meeting and conference for South Texas was held at Houston, July 23 to August 2. The camp ground was very pleasantly situated in a shady grove. All the business sessions passed off harmoniously. The resolutions respecting the home missionary campaign and other matters were passed after appropriate discussion.

The evening meetings were well attended by persons from the city, and many manifested deep interest in the truths presented. The laborers from abroad were Elders Charles Thompson, G. W. Caviness, and G. F. Haffner.

Arrangements were made for more aggressive efforts among the Germans in the conference by uniting our efforts with those of the North Texas Conference. To further facilitate this work, Brother H. F. Neumann was ordained to the ministry. Elder Charles Thompson offered the prayer of ordination, and Elder G. F. Watson delivered the charge.

With the exception of minor changes in the conference committee, the previous officers were reelected. Provision was also made for a secretary for the Young People's Missionary Volunteer Society and the educational and the Sabbath school work, Mrs. Hattie Leland being asked to take charge of these branches.
