Since the appointment of the camp-meeting to be held at Wausau, Wis., June 15-25, appeared in the Review and Herald, it has been ascertained that the excellent camp-ground which we have engaged, can not be had at that time. We have, therefore, changed the date of the meeting to June 9-19.
The time is definitely settled, and we hope to see a large attendance. The last date named, being about one week earlier than that first announced, will doubtless interfere less with farming interests in the State than the first would have done.
Though the place is a little north of the homes of the majority of our people in Wisconsin, yet it is within easy reach of many of them.
Wausau is a city of probably fifteen thousand inhabitants, and is one in which we have not previously held a camp-meeting. It is, therefore, believed that many will want to be present.
We certainly should have a large attendance of our brethren and sisters. Many reasons could be assigned why this should be so. Chief among these we will mention the great need of a spiritual refreshing. We may have an excellent understanding of the theory of the truth, and yet lack the reality and joy of the Christian life. It is desirable that we make this meeting much more helpful in the matter of Christian experience than any that has been held in the past. The time will be devoted to the various needs of the people who attend. All can help in the meeting, and all can receive help. Come with both purposes in view.
Application has been made for reduced fare on the railroads, and a favorable reply has been received. Tents will be for rent on the ground at the usual rates. Meals will be provided for all who do not wish to board themselves.
We are anxious that the friends come to the meeting early, and that they remain until the close. As far as possible, bring the whole family. Work to get many others to attend the meeting. Pray earnestly for its success.
Wm. Covert.
