The North Carolina Camp-Meeting

By T. H. Jevs

THIS meeting was held at Highpoint, N. C., September 7-16. It was preceded by tent-meetings, one on the camp-ground and the other in another part of the city; so there had been about seven weeks' work done before the camp-meeting began. There was an excellent attendance from the city during the entire time of the meeting, especially at the evening services. At these times the principal features of our faith were dwelt upon. A few citizens have taken their stand to keep all the commandments. The tent was kept up and labor continued after the camp-meeting closed.

The brethren of the conference took hold earnestly and willingly to make our meeting a success. A spirit of unity and love prevailed, and it was truly refreshing to be present. We were favored with the presence of Elder Geo. I. Butler, president of the Southern Union; also Elders Kilgore and Tenney, and for one day, Elder K. C. Russell of the General Conference, was with us.

Plans were laid for aggressive work. The canvassing work received special attention. During the year past it has made satisfactory progress. We still hope for more efficient and abundant labor in this line during the year to come. Brother A. F. Harrison, the general canvassing agent of the Southern Union, was present, and aided much in this work.

Our young people's meetings were well attended, and much good we believe was accomplished. Elder J. E. Tenney and others led out in these. The business passed off quietly and harmoniously, and all, it is believed, returned home refreshed and strengthened.
