Western Washington Camp-Meeting

By S. W. Nellis

The Western Washington annual conference and camp-meeting will be held near the South Tacoma Railroad station, Tacoma, Wash., August 12-22. This will be followed by a teachers' institute, commencing on the twenty-third, and continuing for two weeks.

As the railroads and boats are granting special rates to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at Seattle, our people would better take advantage of these privileges, as no other railroad privileges can be secured.

HOW TO REACH THE GROUNDS

Those coming from the south on the Northern Pacific will get off from the trains at South Tacoma station, the camp-ground being only a few blocks from that point.

Those coming by boat to Tacoma will take the car near the wharf, and secure transfers to the South Tacoma car, which passes the grounds.

Those coming by rail will go to South Tacoma station. All should retain their baggage checks, and turn them over to the camp baggage agent, who will secure the best rates.

TENTS, STOVES, AND BEDS

If you desire tents, stoves, and wire bedsprings, you should send orders early to Brother H. A. Green, at the office, 309 Second Ave., North, Seattle. Please do not fail in this, or we may not be able to secure tents for you. We do not floor the tents, or make your tables and bedsteads; it would require a greater force of men than we could secure. We will pitch your tents, but the floor and the furnishings are for you to arrange to your liking.

We expect good help from abroad, and believe God has a rich blessing in store for us at this important meeting.

From Vol. VI, page 39, of the Testimonies, I quote: “Some will say, ‘It is expensive to travel, and it would be better for us to save the money, and give it for the advancement of the work where it is so much needed.’ Do not reason in this way; God calls upon you to take your place among the rank and file of his people. Strengthen the meeting all you possibly can by being present with your families. Put forth extra exertion to attend the gathering of God’s people. Brethren and sisters, it would be far better for you to let your business suffer than to neglect the opportunity of hearing the message God has for you. Make no excuse that will keep you from gaining every spiritual advantage possible.” I hope these solemn words will influence all to make decided efforts to attend this meeting. S. W. NELLIS, Pres. West. Wash. Conf.
