Earlier text: W. E. HANCOCKIn the Cumberland Conference
By W. H. Branson
Two new churches have recently been organized in the Cumberland Conference, as a result of the tent efforts held in the summer. One of these is at Daisy, Tenn., and the other at Johnson City. At the former place, Brother Burt White and family, with the assistance of Brother A. B. Russell, conducted meetings in the spring, and the interest was closely followed up during the summer. A building was given to the conference, which has been remodeled and turned into a meetinghouse. Sunday, October 17, a church of twelve members was organized, with the election of a full corps of officers. There are many other interested persons in this place, and it is expected that at least five or six others will unite with the church soon. Brother White will continue to follow up the interest at this place. Sabbath, October 9, the church in Johnson City was organized, with a membership of nineteen members. We expect that within two or three weeks the membership will number at least twenty-five. The church at this place grew out of an effort held during the summer by the writer and a company of helpers. This city had been worked a great deal in the past, but practically no fruit had been gathered. Only two Sabbath keepers were in the city when we pitched the tent this summer. However, it seemed that the time was ripe for another effort to be made there, and the Lord moved upon the heart of a person in the conference to contribute $400 toward the expense of a strong tent effort. This made it possible for us to secure a splendid location and to advertise the services in the daily paper. The meeting was the best advertised of any meetings ever held in the city, and probably the best attended. Many times the tent, which was17sixty by eighty feet, was too small to hold those who came. That which contributed most largely to the success of this effort was the large amount of newspaper publicity that was given to the meetings. Besides large advertisements which were carried in the paper several times a week, at a very low rate, a full account was given of most of the sermons, gratis. For sixty consecutive days every sermon preached was reported in the press. Usually a full column, and often more, was given us for this purpose. It was said that our meeting received more space in the paper than any other meeting ever held in the city. This of course gave the meetings prestige as nothing else could have done. This is not the first time that we have used the newspapers, and we believe that it is the best possible method of advertising. A neat church and church school building has now been erected in the best part of Johnson City, and the organization was perfected in our own building. I have now been connected with the Cumberland Conference for a little more than three years, and I am thankful that there are evidences that the prospering hand of God has been over the work during that period. During this time six churches have been organized, four church buildings erected, and one church building purchased. The tithe income has sprung from $6,866.66 in 1912, to $9,000 for the present year. The book sales in 1911 amounted to $6,426.90, while for the past three years the sales have averaged $10,600 a year. Offerings to missions have also showed an increase. In 1911, $2,430 was contributed, whereas $4,833.82 was given to the mission fields in 1914. For all that God has done for his work in this part of the great Southern field we are thankful, and we trust that he has still greater blessings in store.
W. H. BRANSON. Report From the Southern Union
By S. E. WIGHT.
THE South is probably affected by the reverses in the financial world more than any other part of the United States. There has been great suffering in some places, especially among the colored people in the cotton districts. With these reverses, caused by the war in Europe, has come a studied plan to prepare for the worst, so that the people generally have adjusted themselves to the conditions, and business is again making some headway. The same determination to rise above difficulties, manifested in other districts where discouraging conditions have existed, is seen here. It seemed for a time that our colporteur work would be paralyzed. Many of the workers delivered only a small part of their books. It was very discouraging, but with persevering effort they have labored on. Great faith has been manifested by these workers in the triumph of the third angel’s message. Only those who are in the field, or have passed through a like experience, can form any idea of the blessings that have come to the laborers who have stayed by the work during the hard times of the past few months. The Lord has been mindful of his workers and work, and avenues have been marvelously opened before the laborers. During the present year $15,579.99 worth of books have been sold and delivered, and $30,144 worth of orders are yet to be delivered. The population of this union is a little more than nine million. With the exception of Louisiana, which is largely French, the people are of English descent. The most of our work has been done for the English. The results from the evangelistic efforts have not been extraordinary; however, for the last three years the increase in membership has been 288 for each year, and for the first six months of 1915, 199 were added. The prospect is good for an equal number to be added to the church in the last half of the year. The same methods of work employed in other fields are followed in this. Church schools, rural schools, and small sanitariums are being established. There are two treatment rooms conducted by Seventh-day Adventists in Nashville, two in Birmingham, and one in New Orleans. It is the policy to establish a church school wherever a church is raised up, but the lack of teachers is hindering this very much. There are at present eighteen church schools in the union, ten white and eight colored. The work for the colored people is very interesting. The workers have succeeded in reaching a well-educated class. Their talent has added much to the interest, and demands increased facilities for the work. Two beautiful, substantial churches have recently been built in Louisville, Ky., and one in New Orleans, La. A church near the Fisk University, in a good colored district, formerly occupied by the white Presbyterians, has been secured for the colored congregation in Nashville. Preparations are now being made to build a church in Memphis. The Lord has certainly gone before and prepared the way marvelously for the spread of this message among the colored people. In Mansfield, La., a colored woman, by seeking God and studying her Bible, was led to observe the Sabbath. She kept the Sabbath several months before she knew there was another person in the world observing the seventh-day Sabbath. She was finally found by a white Seventh-day Adventist family. A servant of this family was a friend of this colored woman, and recognized the faith of the two as identical, and became the medium of communication between them. It was found on examination that she had all the message with the exception of two points. She and the people who know her recognize God’s hand in leading her out of darkness into this marvelous light. Making and Seizing Opportunities
“Do not talk about what you would do if you only had the chance. The men who have moved the world made their own chances; seeing opportunities to do little things, they seized upon them, and did them well.” During the past summer we have had three tent companies in the field. The Lord has been very gracious to the laborers, and a degree of success has attended the faithful efforts put forth. About thirty persons have expressed a determination to walk in the light of God's commandments. Twenty-six have been baptized, and the greater part of these have united with the churches. Our laborers are of good courage, and are entering the fall campaign with a courageous spirit and a determination to accomplish a mighty work for the salvation of souls this fall and winter. Our colporteurs have had good success in placing many of our subscription books in the homes of the people, which we are sure will bear fruit to the glory of God in leading souls to the true light. The educational and young people's work is making advancements. A goodly number of our young people have entered Union College this fall. There will be five or six church schools conducted in the conference, with about seventy-five students in attendance. As laborers we are endeavoring to advance all departments of the conference work. We are grateful to God for the blessing that has attended our work this summer, and our only desire is to have a closer walk with God, so that a greater work may be accomplished through us for the advancement of his cause in all the earth. We are glad to report that the work is moving along quite satisfactorily in the State of Iowa, though our summer tent efforts were somewhat interfered with by the unusual rains. Such a wet year has never before been known in Iowa. For this reason the corn crop was very late, and most of it was caught by frost before it had matured. This undoubtedly will affect our tithe somewhat for the conference year, though it has been kept up quite well until this time. Just at present we are pushing with all diligence the Harvest Ingathering campaign, and have set a goal of five dollars a member. Many will surpass this, while others will of course fall far short of it. Last week one of our workers in a day and a half solicited $25 from fifty persons. Another sister, with her son and daughter, secured nearly $90 during the week. Our conference treasurer secured $50 in one donation from one of our local business houses. Altogether, with what will come in from our people everywhere, we expect we shall again reach the General Conference goal. We have our stakes set to this end. Oak Park Academy opened with the usual attendance, and the spiritual interest of the school is good. The sanitarium is enjoying a good and regular patronage. Recently Dr. O. S. Parrett, one of the graduates of the Loma Linda Medical College, has connected with the sanitarium here, and his services are greatly appreciated as assistant physician and teacher for our nurses’ training school. A new class of nurses is making a good start in their work.
A. R. OGDEN. Massachusetts
By ALLEN MOON
Some progress is noticeable in reviewing the work done in the Massachusetts Conference the past year. I came to this field about one year ago the first of November. On my arrival to take up labor in connection with the conference, there was manifest a strong sentiment in favor of moving the headquarters of the conference and the tract society from South Lancaster to Boston. At a meeting of leading brethren held soon after I came, it was decided to make this change. Rooms for the use of the conference were secured in Tremont Temple building, in the heart of Boston. This move has proved advantageous in many ways; for example, Boston is the center of excellent transportation facilities, as well as the center of a vast population. The membership of the churches in Greater Boston is more than four hundred. The tract society's sales of literature have greatly increased as the result of being associated with this large membership, and a correspondingly greater number of people have been made acquainted with the truth through the publications. The laboring force of Massachusetts, although small, has shown a commendable degree of earnestness and activity in the work of soul saving. Since the beginning of the present calendar year there have been organized two churches, with an aggregate membership of thirty-six; and there are companies ready to be organized in three places, with an aggregate membership of fifty-six. This does not include the work conducted in Boston by the union conference brethren, Elders Quinn and Russell; nor does it include the additions to the Worcester church as the result of a tent effort in that city. Three tent meetings were held outside of Greater Boston. These were in Worcester, Methuen, and Holyoke. Elder J. G. Hanhardt, assisted by Elder Bicknell and wife and Miss Spencer, conducted the effort in Worcester, with good results. Elder J. K. Jones had charge of the work in Methuen. Two Bible workers assisted Elder Jones. Brethren Rice and Butler, with their wives and two other Bible workers, conducted the meetings in Holyoke, where a church has been organized. After a short course of lectures in Holyoke, the tent was moved to Northampton, an entirely new field, and a second series of meetings held, resulting in raising up a strong company of believers. A church will soon be organized in this place, composed of a good, substantial class of believers. Elder Jones's work in Methuen has resulted in bringing in material for a8strong church where none has ever been before. Other companies of believers have sprung up in various places as the result of private labor and the use of literature. On the whole, the Massachusetts Conference is in a fairly healthy condition. Beginning with January of this year, the mission offerings have exceeded twenty cents a member for the conference each month. The Harvest Ingathering for October will make up the total for the year. ALLEN MOON. The Work in Kansas
By W. D. MacLay
It is a little over one year since I came to this conference. As most of the readers of the REVIEW are aware, Kansas had been divided into two conferences for several years. At the camp meeting in Wichita a year ago last September the conferences were united. During the past year the Lord has blessed the work in Kansas in a very marked manner, and about three hundred persons have accepted the truth. There has been a very great increase in the money contributed to the cause, as a comparative statement will show. The combined tithe for the East and West Kansas Conferences for the twelve months ending Sept. 30, 1914, was $24,953.36. The tithe for the united Kansas Conference for the following twelve months, ending Sept. 30, 1915, was $48,991.77. The offerings to missions for the period ending Sept. 30, 1914, from the two conferences was $11,686.40, while the offerings to missions from the Kansas Conference for the period ending Sept. 30, 1915, was $24,422.30. The book sales for the same periods are as follows: East and West Kansas, $6,989.70; Kansas Conference, $16,193.30. During the summer we operated twelve strongly manned tent companies, with gratifying results. In the Kansas Conference we have two academies, one at Oswego, in the south-eastern part of the State; the other near Downs, in the north central part of the State. Both these schools are doing excellent work. During the tent season we employed a number of students from the schools,—the young men as tent masters and the young women as Bible workers. At Wichita we have our sanitarium, which is doing excellent work and enjoying a good patronage. Personally, I have enjoyed my year's work in Kansas very much. The workers are all of good courage, and are pressing on for greater things this coming year. THE grand totals of our literature sales for this month show a large drop from the previous month, but there is a reason. Our students nearly all finished their work in August and returned to school. We feel grateful for the good work which the young people from our schools accomplish in the colporteur work each year, but we are also glad to see that a special effort is being made by our field men to enlist men and women in this work who will devote their whole time to it twelve months in the year. Brother J. H. McEachern, of the Central Union, and Brother Carl Weaks, of the Northern Union, are making special efforts to enlist those who will make canvassing their vocation. It is encouraging to see the splendid gain which their September reports show over the corresponding month last year. The Atlantic, Southeastern, Pacific, and Western Canadian Unions also show good gains. We feel especially grateful for the way our colporteur work keeps up in Europe. This summary shows that in the East and West German Unions more literature was sold during September19this year than during the corresponding month last year. Unfortunately, the report from the British Union did not arrive in time, but even without this report the book sales in the foreign fields show a gain of about $2,500 over the corresponding month last year, while our total gain over September last year is $4,000.
