ANNOUNCEMENT

By R. A. Underwood

THE twenty-third annual Conference and camp-meeting of the Pennsylvania Conference will convene at Erie, Pa., June 6-16, 1901. The opening service will be held on the evening of June 6.

We look for a good attendance from our own Conference, and we invite any of our brethren living in the western part of New York and in the eastern part of Ohio, who may desire to join us, to come and enjoy the blessings of the meeting with the brethren in the Pennsylvania Conference.

Those desiring to rent tents should write to W. M. Lee, Williamsport, Pa., Box 614, to secure the same at once.

The camp is to be located on good grounds only one block from the Union depot, in the central part of the city of Erie. Passengers should bring all their baggage checks direct to the camp-ground, and leave them at the book tent. If this is done, we can secure the transfer of baggage from the depot to the camp, and the return to the depot, for twenty cents. The usual provision for the comfort of the campers will be provided.

Excursion rates of two cents a mile have been secured to the camp-meeting, authorized by the Trunk Line Association, including all the railroads in Pennsylvania only. The Central Passenger Association grants the same favor, representing the railroads in Pennsylvania west of Pittsburg, Oil City, Kinzua, Salamanca, Buffalo, and in eastern Ohio. All persons in Pennsylvania who wish to secure excursion rates on railroads under the jurisdiction of the Trunk Line Association, can do so by applying to W. M. Lee, Williamsport, Pa., for card orders. By presenting the card order to the ticket agent, a round-trip ticket may be secured to Erie at the rate of two cents a mile. All those coming from points in the Central Passenger Association will purchase tickets on the certificate plan, paying full fare to Erie, and securing a certificate by means of which a return ticket can be purchased at the rate of one-third regular fare. Applications for card orders should be sent at once to W. M. Lee.

This will be a grand meeting, and all our people need to avail themselves of the opportunities and blessings it will afford. We expect good help to be sent by the General Conference Committee, and no pains will be spared to do all that can be done to help the children and youth during the meeting. Let all come early, prepared to remain to the end of the meeting.

R. A. UNDERWOOD, Conf. Pres.
