Who will be Next?
Louisburg Station is put at the
head of the list because they are

of all their members.
of course we expect to go to Confer
ence with a clean sheet and a good
report generally. Our Presiding El
der, Brother Plyler, is closing up his
fourth year on the Elizabeth City
District, and our people are very loth
to give him up on the District. He
has done a very good work and many
have been born of God and many be
lievers strengthened in the Lord as
a result of Brother Plyler's faithful
ministry. Moreover, as Presiding
Elder all have been well pleased with
and benefited by his untiring labors
among us. We are looking after the
interest of the Raleigh Christian Ad
vocate. Sincerely,
A. W. PRICE.

two weeks at night only and receiv
ed thirteen into the Church. This
was our last meeting an marked the
close of seven weeks of unbroken
work in the revival effort. We had
help at Concord only, Brother Cra
ven, of Trinity Church, Durham, ren
dering faithful service here.
As a result of these meetings we
have received one hundred into our
Church, and there are a few more to
come yet. We enjoyed the work all
through and feel amply repaid for
every effort we made.
We are in love with our work and
want to wind up the year in good
shape. Our people have been hit hard
by the seasons and have a short
crop of tobacco, and prices are law
too. But they are a loyal people and
will do all they can. If we fail to
bring up a clean sheet financially, it
will be because it couldn't be done.

and
FAItMVILLE.
We are holding our last revival.
Have had thirty-five additions so far.
The meeting at Lang's Church was a
great one. We closed on the water
side, where eleven were baptized and
in spite of clouds and rain folks got
happy and praised the Lord.
I must praise the little flock at
Shady Grove. At the closing service
(yesteday) to the members and conge
gation came up with every dollar of
salary and Conference collection and
the war or hard times were not men
tioned. We were delighted with the gener
ous gift of Mr. J. W. Parker to the
Church of Farmville in presenting a
new individual communion set.

CAMDEN CIRCUIT.
Dear Brother Massey: We have
just closed a good revival at Trinity
Church, South Mills. This closes the
revival meetings on the Camden Cir
cuit for this Conference year. We
have had good revivals at all the
Churches. Christians have been re
vived and doubtless made stronger
in the faith, and many sinners have
been converted. In all we have re
ceived just forty into the Church on
profession of faith. 3rothers Wat
son, of Plymouth; Smith, of First
Church, Elizabeth City, and Royal,
of the Pasquotank Circuit, assisted
in the meetings and did most of the
preaching, which was all good and
with convincing power. These breth
ren are strong preachers, and the
Holy Spirit is with them in power.
To God he all the praise for this
wonderful work among us. We are
closing up our second year on the
Camden Circuit and desire to say it
lias been decidedly a good and pleas
ant year with us. We have a verv
loyal people on this good charge, and
GRAND Y 1MIILATHEA CLASS.
Dear Brother Massey: We wish
to tell you of our Philathea class we
organized at Mount Zion Church
January 2 8, 1914.
The teacher and officers were ap
pointed with a number of seven on
roll. On June 13, 1914, our class
with the help of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety, gave a lawn party for the ben
efit of the Church, from this we
raised $2.
After the expense of fitting a class
room up we have ($6.55) six dollars
and fifty-five cents in the treasury.
Of this expect to donate ($3.00)
three dollars to the Orphanage.
Our class has steadily increased
until we now have thirty on roll,
and have fairly good attendance, of
which most all are active workers.
And we hope to keep in line with
our motto, "We do things."

PERSON CIRCUIT.
It is only a few weeks till Confer
ence convenes again. How short
the year has been! We have been so
busy we have no had time to think
about its passing.
The Person Circuit is a new charge
not yet a year old, and yet it is grow
ing rapidly and bids fair to become
one of the best charges in the Con
ference at no distant day. We have
had good revivals at all points on
the charge. We bgun at Lea's Chap
el the second Sunday in July and ran
one week. We had about thirty-five
conversions, twenty-seven uniting
with our church. We then went to
Warren's Grove, a school house ap
pointment, and preached two weeks'
received thirty-six on profession of
faith. We expect to build a Church
at this point. From this point we
went to Concord and ran nearly a
week and had ten accessions. Then
went to Concord and held a
meeting nearly a week and had
ten accessions. Then we went
to Oak Grove and held a week
and received thirteen on pft
fession of faith. From this place we
moved to Woodsdale and preached
very greatly strengthened, six have
united with our Church, and there
are several yet to join.
There is gradual growth and de
velopment in all our Church work
and on the whole, we think it safe to
say that much lasting good has been
done this Conference year on Eliza
beth Circuit. We hope for a good
report at Conference.
Fraternally,
G. H. BIGGS.

ELIZABETH CIRCUIT.
Dear Brother Massey: As we have
given you nothing from Elizzabeth
Circuit during the year, I take time
to drop you a line. I am in a rush
with my work, preparatory to our
Annual Conference. I have been in
the "grip" of malaria, since the
spring of the year. This is an enemy
which, most people in this section
have continually to fight, and some
times almost in despair.
We have just closed the last of our
protracted meetings. I have held all
my meetings myself except two.
Brother Seabolt was with me part of
the time at Purdee's Church. Brother
Seabolt did faithful preaching. Some
times the altar was crowded with
penitents, but the results were not
what we had hoped for, at this
Church. Dr. Nash was with me in
Elizabethtown and did all the preach
ing. It is useless to say that it was
well done. Dr. Nash is a great gos
pel preacher. There was no surface
work done. The fundamental truths
of God's Word were made plain. The
Church was very greatly strengthen
ed. Several professed faith in Christ
and four united with our Church.
Our people fell in love with Dr.
Nash, and look hopefully to his com
ing to see us again.
Several were saved and joined at
our meeting at Union Church.
The meeting which closed last,
was held at Wesley's Chapel. This
was the most rar-reachlng of any
held there in years. As a result of
this meeting, tbe Church has been
WALLACE AND ROSE HILL.
Dear Brother Massey: Our fourth
Quarterly Conference was held Sep
tember 19, 20 and we had a good at
tendance. The condition of the fin
ances on the Conferences collections
was encouraging and the sermons by
our Presiding Elder were strong and
helpful, edifying and delightful. This
is one of the best circuits n the Con
ference, being compact, the appoint
ments are easily reached.
The charge has felt the effects of
the cotton market or rather the lack
of a market, yet we expect to be en
abled to report our Conference col
lections in full.
You just ought to come down to
see us so that you can fully appre
ciate this people. We have received
poundings from some of our
Churches and all along through the
year have there been many expres
sions of thoughtfulness and kindness
shown us.
May the Lord abundantly bless
this people and may the work of the
Church prosper, advancing in leaps
and bounds.
Yours truly,
B. H. BLACK.
