Alberta Camp-Meeting

By J. W. Boynton

The first Seventh-day Adventist camp-meeting in Alberta is appointed for July 12-17, 1904. The Lord has blessed us with a new tent, twenty-four by thirty-six feet, for meeting purposes, and two small tents for dwelling purposes; most of our brethren have small tents which they can bring with them. We can not rent any tents, as the demand for them is greater than the supply.

This meeting will be held in Ponoka, in connection with the tent-meetings that we expect to begin in a few days. We have promise of help from our union conference committee, and more than all, promise of help from the King of kings. We are very anxious that as many as possible of our dear people shall attend this meeting. It may mean a sacrifice, and some extra work and expense; but, brethren, we need the blessing of God so much that we can not afford to let small things stand in our way. All will be done that can be to make expenses as small as possible. Bring plenty of bedding, and tents. If you do not have tents, come anyway, and a place will be found for you. Provisions of all kinds can be bought in Ponoka as cheap as in your home towns.

Help will be provided in the German and Scandinavian languages, as we shall expect our friends of foreign tongues to come also. The main thing is to come seeking God with all our hearts. “Come thou with us, and we will do thee good.” J. W. BOYNTON.
