Earlier text: The Minnesota Camp-Meeting

South Dakota Conference

By C. A. Burman; N. M. Jorgensen

The twenty-sixth annual session of the South Dakota Conference of Seventh-day Adventists was held in connection with the camp-meeting at Woonsocket, S. D., June 8-18, 1905.

The first meeting was called June 8, at 11 A. M., with the president, Elder Burman, in the chair. After seating the delegates, it was voted to elect an advisory committee of nineteen to nominate the standing committees. These were taken from the conference committee, church elders, and the laborers. One church was admitted to the conference.

In the afternoon the president read his annual address, the keynote of which was praise to God for his blessings and for his guiding hand. Health and strength had been given to the laborers, and success had attended the work all over the State. Due mention was made of the different departments. During the year 1904, $11,568.52 tithe had been received. Of this $2,347.78 had been sent out of the State.

The report of the tract society showed that $5,410.90 worth of books had been sold during the year. Fourteen canvassers had been at work during a part of the year.

There are thirty-five Sabbath-schools, and twenty-one family schools, with a total membership of about one thousand. These had donated $807.30 to missions.

The report of the intermediate school showed that the debt had been reduced about one hundred dollars a month for the last fifteen months; there is still a debt of about two thousand dollars. About forty students attended the school the past winter.

Besides our own State laborers, this meeting was favored with the help of Elder R. A. Underwood, Elder J. W. Westphal, Elder K. C. Russell, Brother J. S. James, Dr. W. A. George, and Prof. P. E. Berthelson.

The following resolutions were passed:—

“Whereas, The Lord has greatly blessed in the past year by bringing into the truth many precious souls, and also blessed with an increase in the tithe; therefore,—

“1. Resolved, That we express our gratitude for these blessings by giving from the tithe fund twelve dollars a week toward the support of a laborer in the Korean field, for one year, and further, That the General Conference be invited to choose one laborer from our force to go to a foreign field, we continuing his support.

“Whereas, The General Conference has provided this people with a grand and soul-inspiring collection of spiritual songs; therefore,—

“2. Resolved, That we recommend the use of ‘Hymns and Tunes’ in all our general church and camp-meeting services.

“3. We recommend the adoption in all our churches of the plan for the weekly collection of tithes and offerings in the envelopes provided by the General Conference.

“4. We recommend that we unite heartily with the plan adopted by the General Conference to set aside the second Sabbath of each month for a missionary day in which to study the needs, progress, and opportunities of work in foreign fields.

“5. We urge that every church and isolated Sabbath-keeper assume the responsibility of supplying every family in their community with a complete set of the new Signs of the Times leaflets.

“6. We recommend that a three weeks’ institute for canvassers be held during the coming year, the time and place to be decided upon later by the conference committee.

“Whereas, The book ‘Ministry of Healing’ has been devoted to the medical missionary work; therefore,—

“7. We recommend that we co-operate with the General Conference in the circulation of the same for general and local medical missionary enterprises.

“Inasmuch as the educational committee of the General Conference divides school work in three divisions,—primary, intermediate, and collegiate,—and recognizes the work of each department as follows: primary, grades 1-7 inclusive; intermediate, 8-10 inclusive; and collegiate, 11-16 inclusive; therefore,—

“8. We recommend and urge that all suitable students under the eleventh grade and beyond the seventh be encouraged to attend Elk Point School.

“Whereas, The Lord has told us that we should seek for a higher standard of discipline in our schools, in harmony with the recommendations of the General Conference; therefore,—

“9. We recommend that the attention of the managers and teachers of our schools be hereby called to these important matters, and that they be urged to maintain a high standard of discipline and a pure moral atmosphere in all our schools, and to this end we urge the co-operation of the parents; and further,—

“10. We recommend that each student who presents himself for admission shall come recommended by his home church.

“Whereas, The Elk Point school buildings remain unfinished and repairs are needed,—

“11. We wish to call the attention of the conference to the situation: first, to the unfinished condition of the buildings; second, to the need of further improvements.

“Whereas, There is great need on the part of our people, and the world as well, of a more complete knowledge of the principles of healthful living; therefore,—

“12. We recommend that there be inaugurated a vigorous health and temperance educational campaign throughout the conference (a) by encouraging our physicians and nurses who are doing independent self-supporting missionary work, to make their work evangelical, and to be active in the circulation of our health and temperance literature; (b) by inviting all our ministers to heartily unite in this campaign by preaching more frequently on health and temperance subjects, and encouraging all our churches to engage in this work.

“13. Resolved, That we hereby express our gratitude to God for blessings received at this camp-meeting, by giving a liberal donation to the State tract fund; and further,—

“14. Resolved, That we hereby express our sincere thanks to the mayor, the city council, and the citizens of Woonsocket, for their hospitality and hearty co-operation, both morally and financially, in making our sojourn in their town a pleasant and agreeable one; and further,—

“15. Resolved, That we hereby express our appreciation of the favors rendered us by the newspapers of this city, and by the railroad officials of the State; and further,—

“16. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished the editors of papers published in Woonsocket.”

Credentials were granted to the following-named persons: C. A. Burman, E. G. Hayes, F. L. Perry, R. E. Harter, Conrad Reiswig, Valentine Leer, N. M. Jorgensen.

Field Notes

SEVEN souls have recently accepted the message of present truth at Cascade, Mont.

ELDER C. F. McVAGH reports that four persons united with the church at Coudersport, Pa., and four received baptism, on the occasion of the recent quarterly meeting there.

A CHURCH of fifteen members has been organized at Hartwell, Neb. A new church building has just been erected at this place. A Sabbath-school of good size is maintained.

FROM the Kansas Worker we learn that “several at Logan have decided to obey and walk in the light. Elder A. R. Ogden continues his meetings there. The attendance and interest are very good.”

IN a report of the Stevensville, Mont., camp-meeting, Brother J. A. Holbrook says: “On Friday twenty-one persons were baptized, and two others, who had been baptized before, joined the church. The brethren were all greatly encouraged.”

ELDER L. E. JOHNSON reports the baptism of eight persons at the headwaters of the South Loup River, in Nebraska, also of eight others in the Platte River near Lexington, and eight more in the Loup River near Oconto. At the latter place a church of twenty members was organized.

WE learn from the Pacific Union Recorder that “a very neat and commodious building is being erected at North Yakima, Wash., for sanitarium purposes. Brother A. R. Starr and Dr. Rossiter are putting up the building. The plumbers are already at work, and they expect to have it finished and ready for service by September 1.”

THE Southwestern Union Record says: “A most encouraging report comes from Elder Watts in a private letter from Tahlequah, I. T. He states that the Arkansas workers will have four or five new churches to present to the conference at camp-meeting, and that there has been a very large increase in the tithes over any preceding year. The brethren in Arkansas should certainly take courage and press the work.”

A REPORT of the work and workers in Virginia states that Elder M. S. Babcock is in charge of a tent at Roanoke; Elder H. W. Herrell is holding tent-meetings at Fredericksburg; Elder C. B. Rule is in charge of a tent at Pool’s Siding; and Elder H. J. Farman will pitch a tent at or near Lynchburg. Brother W. H. Zeidler is looking after the canvassing work. A tent will be put in the field for the colored people if the way opens.

FOUR tent companies will be at work in the Upper Columbia Conference this season, besides the work in Spokane. Elder W. R. Smith and Brother F. D. Wagner are located in the Yakima country; Elder F. D. Starr and Brethren J. A. Standage and C. J. Rider are on the Nez Perces Reservation; Elder W. H. Saxby and Brother O. K. Butler will hold tent-meetings somewhere in the Grande Ronde Valley. It is expected that Elder L. A. Gibson will join this tent company. Elder H. J. Schnepper and Brother C. F. Knott will hold tent-meetings among the Germans in this conference. Plans have been laid for a series of tent-meetings in Spokane.

New Health Department Building in Los Angeles

ELDER G. W. REASER says in a report of the work in southern California: “The health department of our work in Los Angeles is just entering upon a new era of activity and usefulness. A splendid new building, definitely planned and erected for our work, has been leased for a period of five years. This structure is three stories high, and has a commodious basement for storage purposes. It is located on the corner of Third and Hill Streets. The first floor is wholly devoted to restaurant purposes, the second to physician’s office, treatment rooms, and our conference and tract society offices, and the third to sleeping apartments for our corps of workers.”

Current Mention

— Sweden is reported to be mobilizing a portion of her army, to make a show of her military strength “for Norway’s benefit.”

— Twenty-six people are reported killed by a tornado which swept across a portion of Montague County, in northern Texas, July 5, the path of the storm being three miles wide and fifteen miles in length. About fifty people were injured.

— The Supreme Court of Kansas has rendered a decision debarring the State of Kansas from competing with the Standard Oil trust in furnishing oil to the people of that State, by means of the establishment of a State oil refinery. The establishment of such a plant had been earnestly favored by Governor Hoch.

— The tribute of human life paid this year to fourth-of-July “patriotism,” according to figures given by the Chicago Record-Herald, July 5, totals thirty-six people. This leaves room, however, for many cases of tetanus, which does not develop until a week or more after the injury from cracker or toy pistol has been received. Besides those killed, 1,677 persons received various injuries.

— Two hundred residents of the town of Guanajuato, Mexico, lost their lives in a flood which resulted from a violent storm, July 1. The town was situated in a gorge, through which a river flows, and has been subject to floods, but the present disaster is unprecedented. The force of the flood was augmented by the giving way of dams and masonry which confined the river’s flow. Many houses were swept away, and the property loss is estimated at $2,000,000.

— The Japanese have landed a force on Sakhalin Island, backed up by a fleet of war vessels, and have taken possession of the island, the Russian garrison being too weak to offer effective resistance. In Manchuria there is comparative quiet around the opposing armies, neither commander seemingly being desirous of bringing on a general engagement. The arrangements for peace negotiations in Washington between Russia and Japan are making favorable progress, the Japanese peace envoys having sailed from Yokohama July 8, on the steamship “Minnesota.” There are rumors that the unfortunate Czar Nicholas is beset by a plot of the Russian reactionaries who aim to dethrone him and set up a czar of stronger character.

— The final vote in the French Chamber of Deputies on the bill abolishing the Concordat and separating church and state in France, was taken July 3, and the measure was passed by a majority of 108 in a total of 574 votes cast. The general principle of the measure is set forth in the bill as follows: “The republic assures liberty of conscience and guarantees the free exercise of religion, subject to the restrictions of public order. The republic neither recognizes, pays stipends to, nor subsidizes any sect, but provides funds for college, hospital, and asylum chaplains. Otherwise, the public worship budget is abolished, and public establishments connected with religion are suppressed.”

— The Russian battle-ship “Kniaz Potemkin” of the Black-Sea fleet, on which the crew rebelled and raised the red flag, after keeping Black Sea ports and shipping in a state of uncertainty and terror for nearly two weeks, finally surrendered to the Rumanian authorities at Kustenji, on promise of the latter that the men would be liberated at the Rumanian frontier. It is expected that objection to this treatment of the mutineers will be made by the Russian government, and the incident may be the cause of friction between Russia and Rumania.

Missouri Camp-Meeting

By R. C. PORTER

THE date of opening the Missouri State Conference and camp-meeting has been changed to August 6, instead of August 3. This has been made necessary on account of a conflict of dates for the occupancy of Liberty Park, Sedalia, where the meeting is to be held. The conflict occurred through an oversight on the part of the Park Board, and was wholly unintentional. The appointment now stands August 6-13. Let all who are interested make a note of this change of date. All conference laborers are invited to meet at Liberty Park on Wednesday, August 2, for a workers' meeting. All General Conference laborers who are to attend the meeting are invited to be with us in the workers' meeting if consistent with other arrangements.

R. C. PORTER, President.

Annual Meeting of the Kansas Conference

By C. McREYNOLDS

As a vote was taken at the last meeting of the conference last year, to the effect that the conference should convene on Monday preceding the opening of the camp-meeting on Thursday of the same week, we desire to announce early, that the first meeting of the Kansas Conference for 1905 will convene on the camp-ground in Hutchinson, Kan., Monday evening, August 21, at 7:30. While this is a meeting for all, and we hope that many of our people who are not delegates will be there at the first meeting, yet it is especially important that all delegates be present. C. McREYNOLDS, President.

Legal Meeting of the Kansas Conference Association

By C. McREYNOLDS

THE annual meeting of the Kansas Seventh-day Adventist Conference Association will be held on the camp-ground at Hutchinson, Kan., Friday, August 25, at 9 A. M., for the transaction of such legal business as may come before it, and to render a report of the standing of the association. All questions relating to the titles of church properties and other possessions of the association which are not fully understood should be presented at this time, and will receive proper attention.

C. McREYNOLDS, President.

Wisconsin State Camp-Meeting

By Wm. Covert

At our last conference meeting in Wisconsin it was decided to hold the annual camp-meeting and conference from August 30 to September 11, the place to be Janesville, if suitable grounds can be secured. We will know in a very short time whether or not we can get the grounds in that place.
