The Texas Camp-Meeting

By L. W. TERRY

THE annual camp-meeting of the Texas Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will be held July 29 to August 9, at Alvarado, Tex. This town is situated on the main line of the “Katy” Railroad, and also on the Santa Fé Railroad, so that the railroad accommodations are good. The citizens have granted us the free use of the Old Settlers’ Park, with the large pavilion.

We will secure pasture for those who come with teams. Application has been made for the usual rates on the certificate plan. We feel exceedingly anxious that all of our people in the conference should attend this meeting.

Considering the times in which we are living, and the rapidity with which this message is going, we feel sure that this should be one of the most interesting and important meetings ever held in this conference. These gatherings were arranged anciently by direction of the Lord, and the people were to come, bringing their children, and it was to them a great source of spiritual strength. We to-day certainly need our spiritual strength renewed by these yearly gatherings as much as did the people of old. We expect good help at this meeting. In addition to our conference laborers, we expect Elder C. Santee, president of the Southwestern Union Conference; and we are informed that Elder E. R. Palmer, secretary of the Publishing Department of the General Conference and a person of very wide experience in the canvassing work, will attend. All will appreciate, I am sure, the valuable instruction that Brother Palmer will give along this line. Also, Elder F. W. Spies of South America will be present to labor in the interest of the German work. Come, expecting the Lord to bless you.

L. W. TERRY, President.
