OKLAHOMA CAMP-MEETING.

By O. McREYNOLDS

Dear Brethren and Sisters of Oklahoma Conference: A few more days will bring us to the time of our annual camp-meeting. We are anxious that you may all get the benefit of this meeting. As there are to be no regular business meetings and all the time is to be devoted to the spiritual interests of the people, we are sure no one who comes with a desire to be benefited will go away disappointed. We are now fully assured that we will have the largest camp-meeting that was ever held in this Conference. Our new Conference building is finished, and may be dedicated at the close of the camp-meeting. It is a matter that all our people in the Conference are interested in. Our sanitarium work is one of the important interests in the Conference at this time. We are not going to ask you to raise money for this building or for anything connected with it, but we wish you to see and know for yourselves how these things are going on. The Lord has told us in the Testimony that sanitariums should be established in different parts of the country in connection with the gospel ministry.
This is what we are doing here. It is to be an institution where the light of the Third Angel's Message will shine out with no uncertain gleams. The Conference will have local management and control of it, so far as directing concerning the nature of the work to be done therein. God has in a wonderful manner opened the way for the building of this institution, and we only follow his leading.
On the camp-ground instructions will be given in both principles and treatment of disease, which will be given by our people. Efficient help will be sent to assist Dr. A. in this work. We hope to have Dr. Kellogg with us a part of the time at least. Everything that can be done will be done to make you comfortable while on the grounds. And we are to announce that we shall have the very best water for all purposes, and an abundant supply. It is good, soft, and pure. Come early, and bring angels with you. The Lord, as well as a good corps of his ministers, will be here with us. Plenty of room this year. Come and bring all the family, and as many neighbors as you can. They can hear the doctrines of the Angel's Message. It will do them good.
O. McREYNOLDS, Pres. Conf.
