Vermont Camp-Meeting

By J. W. Watt

THE annual conference and camp-meeting for Vermont will convene at Hardwick, August 18-28. We expect excellent help from abroad. Elders H. W. Cottrell, W. H. Thurston, Professor Griggs, and others will be with us. The usual reduced rates have been secured on the different railroad lines running through the State. Ask your station agent for excursion rates to the Seventh-day Adventist camp-meeting at Hardwick. If any of our churches have not yet elected delegates to the conference, they should do so at once. Each church is entitled to one delegate, and one for each additional fifteen members. We hope for a full delegation from each church in the conference. The Lord’s business is much more important than our worldly affairs.
Youths’ and children’s meetings will be held each day, so bring your children with you to camp-meeting.
We have had a larger number of laborers employed during the year than in former years, and will need quite a sum of money to meet our bills. If any of our church treasurers and isolated members have tithes in hand, we would be glad to have the same sent in before camp-meeting. The Lord says: “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house.” Let us not be found robbing God in tithes and offerings, but let our means now be used to advance the cause of God.
Those who desire tents, rooms, stalls for horses, etc., should write to F. M. Daner, Hardwick, Vt., stating plainly what they desire. We shall need a few strong men to assist in pitching the camp; these should be on the ground not later than August 15. The plan for the past few years has been for each church in the conference to send us a man to assist in this work. These annual gatherings become more and more important as our work develops, and the end of all things draws near. Let us come up to this meeting seeking God very earnestly, that we may reach a higher state of spirituality and be better prepared to work for the Lord the coming year than ever in the past. Hardwick is comparatively a new field. Let us pray that God will by his truth help stir the inhabitants of this little city, and that souls may be converted to God and his truth. A few more such meetings and we shall be safe at home.
J. W. WATT.
