The Oklahoma Camp-Meeting
By G. F. Haffner
Our general annual camp-meeting is again near at hand. It will be held in Oklahoma City, August 24 to September 3. This place was chosen because it is in the center of the conference, and can easily be reached by rail from all directions. We know some will object to this place because the camp-meeting has been held here several times before, and the argument is used that we should go to new places with our camp-meetings; but, brethren, when you consider the rapid growth of this city since the meeting was held here, you will agree that it is almost a new place again, for it has more than doubled in population since then. We hope that every one will now be satisfied with the selection of the place, and will come to this feast of the Lord. The Lord has great blessings in store for his people at this time. Let us come and receive them. We are hearing already of good reports from different camp-meetings,—how the Lord has come near by his Spirit, and how sinners have given their hearts to the Lord, and backsliders have been reclaimed,—and why should we not have in Oklahoma receive the same blessings, or even greater ones? There are already many prayers ascending to God that this may be the best meeting we have ever had, and the Lord will hear the prayers of his people. Do not let Satan keep you away from this meeting. We expect good help from the General Conference. They have promised us two good men; who they are we have not learned yet, but we know they will be men of God, and will have something good from the Lord for his people; so please come and bring your whole family if possible. Invite your neighbors to come, bring your friends and all you can get to come. If one soul could be saved by your effort, would this not pay?—Yes, surely; for one soul is worth more than the whole world. May God help you to come and bring the children, as angels of the Lord with you. Let each one pray for the success of this meeting. G. F. HAFFNER, President.
