Local Camp-Meeting for Southwestern New York
By S. H. Lane
NOTHING preventing, there will be held a local camp-meeting on the newly purchased school farm near Tunesassa, beginning Thursday, June 15, and closing Sunday night, June 24. The station near the school farm is Quaker Bridge, on the Pennsylvania Railroad running from Rochester, N. Y., to Oil City, Pa. The station nearest the school farm on the Erie Railroad is Steamburg. Only two trains each way a day stop at Steamburg. All desiring to leave the train at Steamburg will be met by team if they will notify Lynn Bowen, Tunesassa, N. Y. Please notify him soon. The distance from Steamburg to the camp-ground is four miles. Those coming on the Erie Railroad can ride, if they choose, to Salamanca, and there change cars to the Pennsylvania Railroad by changing depots, purchasing tickets to Quaker Bridge. Tents can be rented. Those desiring them are requested to apply to the New York Tract Society, Rome, N. Y. We desire that this camp-meeting shall constitute a workers' meeting as well as a spiritual feast. We expect to work several hours each day in clearing land for a fall crop. We ask all to bring a liberal supply of bedding and provisions. Bring enough for yourself and others. Bring a working suit of clothes, sisters as well as brethren, and if convenient, bring working tools, hoes, spades, etc. We expect an excellent meeting.
