Florida Camp Meeting for the Colored People

By M. C. Strachan

It has been decided to hold our camp this year at St. Petersburg, a beautiful winter resort. Arrangements are being made for the comfort and convenience of all who may attend from this State and from near-by places in Georgia. It is always a special delight to meet new believers at our annual gathering, and this year will be no exception to the rule.

The camp meeting for the white people will be held at the same time and in the same city. This will assure us good help not only from the local conference, but also from the Union and Division Conferences. Strong colored workers will be provided also to give instruction.

The dining department will be operated on the cafeteria plan. There will be a grocery store also. All should bring the usual camp meeting requisites, being sure to add quilts and wraps, for the nights and mornings may be cool.

Bring all the children, for there will be separate meetings for the little ones, and for the youth also. Bring the grey-haired fathers and mothers, bring the neighbors and friends, for this will prove, we hope, the largest and best camp meeting held for the colored people in the Southern field.

Those wishing to engage tent or room should write immediately to the undersigned, addressing him at St. Petersburg, Box 772. Plan to be on the grounds the first day of the camp. The date is September 28 to October 8. Be sure to get a certificate receipt when purchasing ticket; this may insure reduced fare on returning home.
