Mississippi and West Tennessee Camp-Meeting

By Thomas Murphy

To the colored Seventh-day Adventists of Mississippi and west Tennessee: The camp-meeting which was to be held at Meridian, Miss., in August, has been changed to Greenwood, Miss., August 20-29. This place is a more central point for all in Mississippi and west Tennessee than any other place in the State. Let all who can, come prepared to stay throughout the meeting, which will last only ten days. There will be plenty of sleeping tents upon the ground for all, at a cost of thirty-five cents for each person for the ten days. Board can be had for fifteen cents a meal or seven meals for one dollar. We wish to have a large attendance at this meeting.

Remember such meetings come only once a year. There will be some very important matters considered which have to do with our soul's salvation. We are now nearing the verge of eternity. Soon, very soon, we shall see Jesus face to face, and this life-work will be ended. No more sadness of heart, no more shedding of tears, no crying, but thank and praise the Lord, there will be all joy, peace, and happiness. Then let us be of good courage, and rally to the front with this work for the colored people, for the time is nearly expired. Jesus will soon stop pleading for this sinful world, and those who have not been faithful in discharging their duty in this work will be left out. Reader, will it be you? God forbid that any who read this notice will be left out.

Address me after the first of August at Greenwood, Miss. THOMAS MURPHY.
