Western Washington Camp Meeting

By Lewis Johnson

THE TIME

Our annual meeting will be held from August 24 to September 3, in Manitou Park, Tacoma.

HOW TO GET THERE

All who come by rail should have their baggage checked to South Tacoma Station, and bring their checks to the book tent on the grounds. Those who do not come to South Tacoma, but reach the city at the dock or at the union station, should transfer to the traction car that starts on Ninth Street and Broadway and goes direct to Manitou Park. A five-cent fare will take one from any part of the city to the camp ground.

REDUCED RATES

The usual reduced rates of a fare and a third, round trip, will be arranged for. When you buy your ticket, ask the agent for a certificate, and give this certificate to the conference secretary, Brother T. L. Copeland. After it is signed by him and returned to you, the agent will sell you a ticket to the station you started from for one third of the regular fare.

TENTS AND SUPPLIES

The conference can supply about 150 good, five-foot wall, twelve-by-fourteen-foot tents, at a rental of $3. You should order early. Send the order to T. L. Copeland, Auburn, Wash. When ordering your tent, order other supplies furnished by the conference, such as stoves and bed springs. Lumber for floors, etc., will be supplied by the conference at cost. Straw for beds will be sold at cost, but you should bring a straw tick.

DELEGATES

There should be a full delegation of our brethren at this conference. Each church is entitled to one delegate without regard to membership, and to one additional delegate for every fifteen members. Please choose your delegates as soon as convenient, and report to the conference secretary. Blanks for this purpose are sent to all the churches.

ALL NEED THE BLESSINGS

We live in a very solemn time. The terrible war in Europe is still going on with increased cruelty and destruction. Everything around us shows that the end is near. Let us be willing, dear brethren, to make large sacrifices, in order to get spiritual blessings. If possible, come before the meeting begins and stay until it closes. Every day will bring to each one new instruction, new experiences, and new blessings. Let all who can, plan to take their friends and neighbors with them, and let us pray for the conversion of every one who attends, old and young.
