Western Washington Camp-Meeting

By L. Johnson

THIS camp-meeting and conference will be held in South Tacoma, on the ground located on Prospect Street and Fifty-third Avenue, June 6-16, 1912. All should make an earnest endeavor to arrange matters so as to attend this important general meeting. Excellent help will be provided from the General Conference, and Pastor C. W. Flaiz and other union conference laborers will attend. As the instruction given will be especially important in preparing God's people to meet the great crisis that is just upon us, none can afford to remain away.

How to Reach the Camp-Ground

If you are coming by train, buy your ticket to South Tacoma, and have your baggage checked to that station. Be sure to secure certificate from your home railroad station, stating that you are attending the Seventh-day Adventist conference and camp-meeting, to be held in South Tacoma, June 6-16. Don't fail to ask the agent for your certificate, as this must be signed by the conference secretary in order to secure reduction on return trip. The certificate, properly signed, will entitle you to return for one-third fare.

Those coming by boat will be landed at Eleventh Street, and should take the South Tacoma car on Pacific Avenue to Prospect Street; the camp is one block to the right of the street-car line. Those coming by train to South Tacoma can walk or take the South Tacoma street-car to the ground. All baggage checks should be immediately taken to the book tent on the ground.

Tents

The conference has between fifty and sixty good family tents, 12 x 14 feet, with five-foot wall. These tents can be rented during the camp-meeting for three dollars each. After all these are ordered, we shall depend upon rented tents, and generally these are not so good as the conference tents. All who desire tents should order immediately from H. A. Green, 1407 East Forty-first St., Seattle, Wash., and every order will be placed on file and tents assigned according to date of order. Should any order tents, and find it impossible to attend the meeting when the time comes, the conference will cancel the order if notified at the beginning of the meeting, June 6.

Springs, Stoves, Meals, Etc.

There will be springs, stoves, and straw on the ground, to rent; also a cafeteria where meals will be served, and a store where provisions may be bought.

Delegates

There should be a full delegation of our brethren at this conference. Each church is entitled to one delegate for the organization, without regard to membership, and to one additional delegate for every fifteen members. Please choose your delegates as soon as convenient, and report to the conference secretary. Blanks for the purpose are sent to all the churches. L. JOHNSON.
