North Michigan Camp-Meeting
By S. E. Wight
We have the following instruction from the Passenger Association: “We beg to advise a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip to Mancelona from Saginaw, Mt. Pleasant, Baldwin, Ludington, and points north thereof in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan: tickets to be sold August 24, 27, and 31, limited to return Sept. 7, 1903.” Tent rent is reduced from $2.50 to $2. It is hoped that the reduction in tent rent will enable more people to have a tent, and not be obliged to crowd together as we sometimes do. Bedsteads will rent for thirty cents each. The conference owns only twenty tents and twenty bedsteads and but few chairs. We dare not promise you chairs, but send your order for tents, bedsteads, and chairs as soon as possible. The West Conference will let us have tents, but we must know how many are needed early in order to secure them. Send your order to A. J. Olsen, Petoskey, Mich. Every tent should have a stove. If you have none, we can get one for you for $2. If we get orders for ten or more, the stoves will cost you $1.80. I trust you will write Brother Olsen very early regarding your camp-meeting wants, so everything will be in readiness for you when you get to the meeting. Elders Wm. Covert, I. H. Evans, and P. T. Magan, and others will attend the Mancelona meeting. Get all your friends to attend, and be sure that your children are there.
