THE MUSKOGEE DISTRICT
CONFERENCE.
Deak Brother Brewer:—I have
just returned from our District meeting
at Springfield. The brethren voted
that I send you a brief acount for
Our Brother in Red:
The Conference met Thursday, July
7, Presiding E der Clark in the chair.
Brother G. W. Tiger was elected sec-
retary.
Muskogee Station Brother J. 0.
Shnaks reports to be in a prosperous
condition—their protracted meetings
during the year resulting in 15 con-
versions and 11 accessions. Harrell
Institute was represented, and resolu-
tions of endorsement and support were
passed. It was resolved also that Our
Brother in Red be issued weekly.
Brother Bradley, of the Okmulgee
Circuit, brought in a good report. Pub-
lic worship aud all the social meetings
of the Church well attended. The
older members are somewhat wavering,
but the younger are standing firm.
Encouraging progress in his charge.
Eufaula Station was represented by
Hev. S. W. Rogers, the pastor, Brother
Shapard being absent on account of
sickness. One protracted meeting dur-
ing the year, several accessions and con-
versions, enjoyable semi-monthly class-
meetings, successful Sunday-School.
Brother Moses Sawyer, of South
Canadian Circuit, reports good attend-
ance upon public worship aud the so-
cial meetings of the Church; and the
baptism of children well attended to.
He has had four conversions.
Brother Jimboy, Springfield Circuit,
gives a most interesting aud encourag-
ing report as to attendance upon the
social meetings of the Chu rch and pub-
lic worship. His members have paid
their assessment for minis erial support
by hiring themselves out to split rails
and build fences. They have paid in
full. Jimboy is a faithful pastor.
A number of accessions reported
from Sa-sak-wa Circuit. All assess-
ments paid in full.
Brother Frank Gonden, of Concharte
[Circuit, reports that his people are be-
coming more established in the faith.
Brother Little, of Seminole Circuit,
was absent, and hence we had but a
meagre report from his charge. \V«
hear well, however, of him aud his
work. He was not present on account
of having cut his foot very seriously.
The meeting was a benediction to us
all. The Holy Spirit was with us, aud
there was a number of conversions and
accessions. We believe the District is
progressing in spiritual life and power,
aud this is manifest in the interest shown
in all the enterprises of the Church, the
growing purpose of the churches to
meet their assessments even though
they have to split rails and build fences
at meagre wages.
