West Virginia Camp-Meeting Again
By B. F. Purdham
THIS meeting has already been mentioned several times in our papers, and advertised in different ways, and from present indications we hope for a good meeting and good attendance. We hope none of our people will slacken their efforts to attend and to make this meeting just what the Lord would have it. Once a year is not too often for these important gatherings, and we should be willing to make a sacrifice in order to attend; and if we make the proper effort and earnestly seek the Lord, we shall often see the way opened in a remarkable manner. The Lord has favored us in many ways in planning for this camp-meeting. Clarksburg is a beautiful little city, centrally located, a good railroad point; and contains a fine class of people, many of whom I believe will accept the truth when it is properly presented to them. I hope this meeting will be a source of strength and blessing to the little church recently organized in this place. The old fair-grounds, where our meeting is to be held, is an excellent place for a gathering of this kind, is well shaded, and otherwise suited for this purpose. We have also been fortunate in securing reduced rates on all lines of the B. & O. R. R. The “card orders” for the reduced rates are good any time from August 15 to 26 for going, and good for returning any time till August 29. All who expect to attend should at once send to P. W. Province, Box 524, Parkersburg, W. Va., for these cards. We desire to begin the meetings as advertised, on August 17 at 9 A. M., and all should, if possible, come to be present at the first meeting and to attend every service till the close, on August 27. Let us all seek the Lord that we may each bring into this gathering an angel of light and love, that the Lord may use us to his own honor and glory in this solemn and fast-closing work. B. F. PURDHAM, Vice-Pres.
