North Pacific Camp-Meeting.
By Charles L. Boyd
It is time to be thinking about this meeting. Preparations should be made at an early date as something unforeseen may hinder us in making our arrangements. At the last camp meeting the Conference instructed the committee to find a suitable place as near Portland as possible. A good location has been found, and one which will be unusually convenient to reach from both East and West Portland; and we think this place can be obtained for our use. When this is determined, more will be said about the matter. Hundreds of persons have been interested in the truth through the SIGNS, and other missionary work, in and about Portland during the past year. A good camp-meeting will be just the place for these to receive further light, and also to bring hundreds more under the influence of this last message of warning. Brethren and sisters, this is not the time to ease up on our oars. The current is too strong. Where we have reached a few in the past, we want to reach thousands in the living present. Do you ask, "What can I do for this meeting more than to attend it myself?" Get as many of your neighbors and your missionary subjects to attend as possible. Pray to God until, like Jacob, you prevail upon the angels of Heaven to come to our encampment. Parents, bring your unconverted children. Do not leave them at home. God's arm is not shortened, and we want to see if unitedly we cannot prevail on him to open Heaven's windows to pour us out a blessing, and we want many here to receive it. CHAS. L. BOYD, For N. P.
