West Pennsylvania Camp Meeting

By F. H. Robbins

The West Pennsylvania camp meeting will be held in Homestead Park, near Pittsburgh, June 10-20, 1915. These annual camp meetings bring courage and hope to our people, besides the great good received by the public; so we hope that a special effort to attend will be made by all our people.

ROOMS AND TENTS

Order rooms and tents soon, so that arrangements can be made for you, and then you will not be disappointed when you arrive on the camp ground. When ordering tent, please state whether full floor or half floor is desired. Be sure to mention how many beds or cots you wish. Straw will be furnished on the camp ground for ticks. Tents will rent for $2.50 to $3 without floor, and rooms at a reasonable price. Send all orders to H. K. Hackman, 7155 Mount Vernon St., Pittsburgh, Pa.

WHAT TO BRING

Bring warm wraps, overshoes, umbrellas, “Christ in Song” songbook, and plenty of bedding, as the conference has only enough bedding to supply the ministers’ tents. Bring the young people, as special attention will be given to the young people’s department of the work.

BOARDING

Meals will be served at reasonable prices on the cafeteria plan at the dining pavilion. Cooked food will be sold in bulk to those who wish to serve it in their tents. There will be a grocery stand on the grounds for the accommodation of the campers.

BAGGAGE

Bring your baggage checks to the camp ground, leave them at the book stand, and your baggage will be looked after and delivered to you.

HOW TO REACH THE CAMP GROUND

When you arrive at Homestead, either by electric or steam cars, go to the Homestead and Mifflin Street car station, and there you will get a car which will take you to Homestead Park. The Pennsylvania and the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroads run through Homestead, so you can go over either of these lines.

WHEN TO COME

Come at the beginning of the meeting and do not leave until it closes. Homestead Park is lighted with electricity, has shade trees, swings, two large pavilions, one in which to hold the meetings and the other for dining purposes, and is an ideal place to spend ten days.

We expect Prof. B. G. Wilkinson and able speakers from the North American Division Conference. Do not miss this spiritual feast, but come praying that this will be the best camp meeting we have ever had.
