Important Notice

By W. T. Knox

THE next session of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will be held at Takoma Park, Washington, D. C., from May 15 to June 8, 1913. The opening meeting will be held Thursday morning, May 15, at 10:30 o'clock. Every delegate should be present at the opening meeting.

Accommodations for lodging will be provided for delegates and visitors in tents or in buildings.

All tents will be floored and furnished with cots, mattresses, pillows, chairs, a small table, pail, tin wash-basin, and cups. All other articles required—bedding, curtains for dividing the tents, linen, towels, soap, mirrors, etc.—must be furnished by the occupants. An abundance of bedding should be brought, as there may be cold nights during the meeting.

The tents will be located on the Seminary grounds where the Conference will be held, the grounds being well supplied with substantial walks.

The General Conference Office building and the Takoma Park church-school building, located about one mile from the Seminary grounds, will be open for the accommodation of guests. Rooms in these buildings will be supplied with cots, mattresses, pillows, and chairs. All other requisites must be supplied by those who occupy the rooms.

A charge will be made for accommodations in tents and rooms in the above-mentioned buildings at the following rates:—

Tent and Room Rents

Two persons in tent or room . . . . $5.50 each Three persons in tent or room . . . . 4.50 each Four persons in tent or room . . . . 4.00 each Five or more persons in tent or room . . . . 3.50 each

These rates will be the same whether the tent or room is occupied by the renter a portion or the whole of the time of the General Conference session.

A limited number of furnished private rooms can be secured in Takoma Park. The rental for such rooms will range from $2 to $4 a week for one person, an additional charge generally being made when two persons occupy the same room.

Delegates from foreign fields will receive entertainment free, and will be lodged in the Seminary dormitories.

Board

A commodious dining-tent, with ample accommodations to care for those attending, will be conducted on the cafeteria plan. A lunch-room by counter will also be operated. Thus all can be speedily served, and with as great a degree of economy as the individual may desire.

Those occupying tents may board themselves, if they prefer, but no cooking will be allowed in the rooms.

There will be a store on the grounds, at which breadstuffs, fruits, nuts, and vegetables can be secured at market prices.

It is anticipated that there will be a large attendance at the coming General Conference session, hence it will be absolutely necessary for the Committee on Arrangements to know beforehand for whom accommodations must be provided.

Delegates and all visiting brethren who expect to be supplied with accommodations in tents or rooms and board, or in private homes, should write at once to L. A. Hansen, Takoma Park, D. C., stating their requirements and preferences.

All orders should be in the hands of the Committee on Arrangements not later than April 15. Those failing to write early, must not be disappointed if on arrival they do not find provision made for their needs.

Do not forget that the General Conference will not have bedding to sell or rent, nor will they supply any articles except those mentioned above, nor can they guarantee any lodging accommodations to those who do not order in advance. All proposing to attend are therefore urged to write immediately.

Information concerning special railroad rates and how to reach the grounds, will appear in an early number of the REVIEW AND HERALD.

For the committee,

W. T. KNOX.
