Camp-Meeting for the Southern New England Conference
By G. E. Langdon
THE first annual conference and camp-meeting will be held at Middletown, Conn., September 1-10. The ground is high and dry. We are promised help from the General Conference, with Elder H. W. Cottrell, Professor Griggs, Dr. Nicola, and Brother F. E. Painter, of the Union Conference, and Elder A. E. Place, of the Central New England Conference, and Elder C. H. Edwards, of New York. Let all our churches elect delegates at once,—one delegate for the church organization, and one delegate for every fifteen members. We trust there will be a full representation from every church. Begin now to lay plans to come. Youth's and children's meetings will be held each day. Do not leave them behind; let them come too. All who wish tents should write immediately to D. K. Boyer, 61 Whitmore St., Hartford, Conn.: 10 x 12 ft. tents with fly, $3; 12 x 15 ft. tents with fly, $3.50, for the entire time. Bring bedding. Meals will be served on the grounds (two meals a day),—six meals for one dollar; single meals, twenty cents. There will be a grocery stand for all who board themselves. A few furnished rooms may be had, the price varying from three to four dollars. Any who desire rooms should write without delay to A. J. Clark, 16 Main St., Middletown, Conn. Take any street-car at the depot, and call for transfer to “West Side” line: fare, five cents, entire trip one way. When traveling on the railroad, the best way is to buy a mileage book; several from different stations can use it on the same train. 500-mile books (for Connecticut) can be purchased for ten dollars; 1,000-mile books for both Rhode Island and Connecticut, for twenty dollars. The usual conference business will be transacted at this meeting,—auditing, electing officers, and laying of plans for future work. Come, brethren, to this first meeting of our new conference, and enjoy God's blessings together at this time. G. E. LANGDON,
Conference President.
