West Virginia Camp-Meeting

By E. J. Dryer

We are making a last call to the feast of good things which God has in store for us at our coming camp-meeting at Pennsboro, August 16-26. Every indication shows that the Lord has been working for us in our preparations for that meeting.
All those who are intending to come, or who are not even certain that they can come, but wish to if possible, should send to our office at 1200 Seventh St., Parkersburg, W. Va., for a card-order, which will grant the cheap rates to Pennsboro.
All should come provided with straw ticks and sufficient bedding. Meals will be served on the European plan, from three cents to five cents a dish; thus each one can buy just what he wishes. This plan is practically as cheap as to board one's self.
We shall have efficient ministerial help to make the meeting a success. We expect Elders E. W. Farnsworth, president of the Atlantic Union Conference; W. A. Colcord, of Washington, D. C., in the interest of the religious liberty work; C. F. McVagh, president of the Western Pennsylvania Conference; Professor Griggs, of South Lancaster Academy; and F. E. Painter, the Atlantic Union Conference general canvassing agent; and, if possible, a doctor.
Brethren and sisters, the time has come for a grand forward movement in West Virginia. Let us begin immediately to seek the Lord that we may come with hearts prepared to receive the blessings that he has in store for us at that meeting. If we come thus, the Lord will help us all to clear the “King’s highway” of every sin that has been hindering the progress of this message in West Virginia.
Everything indicates that the Lord is marshaling his forces all over the world for the final conflict with the powers of darkness. We all know that the results will be a glorious victory to the cause and people of God. Why need we fear then to go forward? Our only fear should be that we through neglect or indifference or some other sin should be compelled to separate from the Lord’s army and join the side of utter defeat and eternal destruction. May the camp-meeting at Pennsboro, August 16-26, mark the beginning of the day of great things in West Virginia.
E. J. DRYER, President.
