Western Washington Camp-Meeting

By S. W. Nelles

This camp-meeting and conference will be held in Seattle, June 1-11. 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 Elder 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.

A convention has been appointed for our church elders, deacons, and treasurers, beginning May 28, in which special instruction will be given in matters pertaining to church work. Elders, deacons, or treasurers of our churches attending this convention, May 28-31, will have their fares to the camp-meeting refunded. We hope all who are holding these positions in the church will avail themselves of this opportunity to attend this important workers' meeting. We also hope that each church will send some good workers to assist in preparing the camp-ground. This is very important, and our churches should come to the assistance of the committee in preparing so large a camp.

How to Reach the Camp-Ground

All passengers from the north or south on railroads will secure tickets to the union depot, Seattle. Those coming from the north, on the Great Northern, can check their baggage to Ballard station, and in this way save money on transportation; but in order to secure the one and one-third fare privilege, tickets must be bought to the union depot. Those from the south should be sure to take either Northern Pacific or Great Northern trains to union depot, and in order to save expense on transportation of baggage, buy ticket from union depot to Ballard station, costing seventeen cents a ticket, and recheck baggage to Ballard station.

WARNING: All tickets must be purchased to union depot in order to secure the reduction in fare.

Any who wish to take the street-car from the union depot to the camp-ground should inquire for the Sixth Avenue N. W. car, also marked West Woodland, getting off at Fifty-fifth Street W., or take Fremont-Ballard car to Market Street, where the camp-ground is plainly visible.

All coming on Puget Sound boats should take same street-cars as above, on First Avenue. Those leaving the railroad at Ballard station should take either Ballard Beach or Ballard Sloop lines bound for Seattle. Transfer to the Fremont-Ballard car at Fourteenth Avenue, N. W., leaving car at Market Street, the nearest point to the camp-ground.

To save expense on baggage bring all your checks to book-tent on the ground, as soon as you arrive. This is important.

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 Seattle, June 1-11. Don't fail to ask agent for your certificate, as this must be signed by the conference secretary in order to secure reduction on return trip. Those failing to do this will be compelled to pay full fare both ways. No reductions are allowed on steamboat lines.

S. W. NELLES, President.
