Vermont Camp-Meeting

By J. W. Watt

THE annual conference and camp-meeting for the State of Vermont will be held at Randolph, August 20-30. A good location has been secured in the center of the village near the railroad station. The usual accommodations for campers will be provided, such as a dining-tent, run on the European plan, and a grocery stand, etc. Tents and rooms may be rented. Those who desire either a tent or a room should write to the conference secretary, F. M. Dana, 190 N. Winooski Ave., Burlington, Vt., stating plainly what they desire.

Sister Naomi Worthen and C. H. Drown will have charge of the youth and children's meetings, which will be held each day. Elders A. G. Daniels, H. W. Cottrell, and A. E. Place will be present to assist in the preaching; we also expect help in the medical and the educational work. To have the president of the General Conference with us will be a privilege we had hardly dared to hope for, when so many large conferences need the labors of such men.

Brethren and sisters, the Lord has been very good to us in Vermont during the present conference year, and now let us show our appreciation of his love and care by once in more assembling in annual conference to seek his name together. Last fall when it was decided to send Elder Westworth to a distant field, and support him there, it was thought by some that we could not expect as much tithe this year by five hundred dollars as in former years, as the corn crop was a failure in Vermont last year. But instead of the tithe falling off, it has increased, and we have been able to meet all demands, and put a larger force into the field this summer than for a number of years. Those who were in attendance at the camp-meeting last year know how God's Spirit worked in a marked manner, and what a great blessing came to all present as we unitedly followed the leadings of the Spirit. Perhaps the Lord has a greater blessing in store for us this year. Let us all be present to enjoy whatever the Lord may be pleased to give us at this coming annual feast. A few more such gatherings, and the Lord will come to claim his own. Shall we be ready to meet him? J. W. WATT.
