Upper Columbia Camp-Meeting
By A. J. Breed
RATES to the Moscow camp-meeting have been secured at a fare and one third for the round trip. Those living on the line of the O. R. & N. or the Northern Pacific will purchase tickets direct to Moscow, taking certificates from the agent where the ticket is purchased, which will be signed upon the ground by the secretary, and will return the holder for one-third fare. If for any reason the agent where the ticket is purchased should not have blanks for certificates, take his receipt, and have him state on the receipt that it is for fare to the Seventh-day Adventist camp-meeting at Moscow, Idaho. Unless certificate or such receipt is obtained, it will be impossible to secure the rate for return. Tickets will be on sale May 17, also the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth. For those who wish to attend the workers’ meeting, tickets will be on sale the seventeenth. Those attending the camp-meeting proper will have to secure tickets the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth, or pay full fare. This is an arrangement with the railroad companies, and it will be necessary to act in harmony with the directions given. There must be fifty in attendance at the meeting, who have paid full fare (fifty cents or more), before the reduction can be obtained. Moscow is not a large place, and but little second-hand furniture can be secured, so it is necessary for our brethren to come prepared to care for themselves as far as possible. A limited number of stoves can be secured. Bring plenty of bedding and heavy wraps to make yourselves as comfortable as possible; for it is liable to be somewhat cool at this season of the year. If you wish tents with floors, you would confer a favor by writing to T. L. Copeland, College Place, Wash. Keep your baggage checks until you reach the camp-ground, or deliver them to the camp-meeting representative who will meet you at the trains. Dear brethren and sisters, in view of the solemnities of the times in which we are living, let nothing keep you from enjoying the benefits of this meeting. Those who read the31REVIEW AND HERALD can see the advancement the work is making, and we need these special gatherings, in order that we may keep pace with the message. There being no business to look after during this meeting, the time can be given to instruction; and no doubt missionary work can be done in the city during the time of the meeting. The Idaho State University is located at Moscow. There are several hundred students in attendance, and if judicious and careful work is done, many of them may be led to study our publications. The Lord has greatly blessed the work during the past, and we look forward to a real spiritual awakening at this time, and we hope there will be a large number present. There will be those upon the ground early to look after the work, and we shall be much pleased to have a number of our brethren and sisters present to assist in pitching tents and getting things ready for the meeting. Remember the dates upon which tickets are on sale.
