* AA 1934-4: '''Maine Convention''' will be held (D.V.) at Camp Grounds, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, August 12th to 19th. Particulars from Mr. [[Howard Franklin Stultz, Sr.|H.F. Stultz]], 819 Main St., Westbraak (sic), Maine."
* AA 1935-10: '''Old Orchard, Maine''':
** John Dickson: "The Lord was very gracious to us this year also. A larger attendance than last year, (twelve States, two Canadian provinces and 48 assemblies being represented), and the ministry was very helpful, foundational truths set forth, and practical and Christ-exalting words spoken. The meeting announced for young Christians especially on Thursday afternoon will not soon be forgotten; the sun shone brightly but the shade of the pines made it pleasant to sit and listen to the Word of God and it went forth with no uncertain sound. The attention was wonderful and tears flowed. A stranger said to me at the close, 'I have been at all kinds of meetings here for many years, but I never saw a sight like this, so many young people listening with such rapt attention'. At some of the gospel meetings 500 were present, and a few professed conversion."
** Robert McCrory: "The Convention at Old Orchard, Maine was a godly, profitable occasion. The ministry was varied, practical, and helpful: usually two speakers in the forenoon and three in the afternoon; and the gospel services at night in the Tabernacle were a good success. We heard of four having confessed faith in Christ as Saviour. This Convention seems to be meeting a felt need among the assemblies in the eastern States. In former years many of the Lord's people, while on vacation, would be at sea-side places where there are no assemblies, the benefit being entirely to their physical health, but this conference meets the spiritual need also. We remained over for some meetings in a large room rented by [[Howard Franklin Stultz, Sr.|Mr. Stultz]] and had nightly Bible Readings with about fifty present each night, mostly Christians from different assemblies, but some strangers also coming."
