Wisconsin Camp-Meeting

By W. H. Thurston

I WISH to call the attention of our people in Wisconsin to the change of our annual conference and camp-meeting from autumn to summer. After due consideration and counsel it has been decided to hold our annual meeting in June. We have not had opportunity to counsel with all the churches relative to this change; but the matter was decided at our State meeting, and we trust it will be satisfactory to all. The annual conference and camp-meeting will be held in Portage, June 8-18, and the time is drawing near. This will be an important meeting, and should be well attended by all our people, both young and old. Aside from our conference laborers, good help will be provided by the General Conference.

We have our program well arranged, and plan to have system and order, and to give careful and prayerful attention to all departments of our work. It is due our churches to say that the condition of our conference is gradually improving, and we believe this will continue. We desire to see a goodly number from all our churches at the camp-meeting. We need to study, counsel, and pray together about the work at home as well as abroad.

Members of the Wisconsin Conference, remember that you are the conference; the work is yours, the burdens and blessings are yours; success or failure depends upon you. However, we shall not plan for failure, but shall plan, work, and pray for success. We need your presence, counsel, and help at the camp-meeting. Come to help and be helped. Come, and bring your families. We invite our young people to come. Come to the camp-meeting.

W. H. THURSTON, President.
