Virginia Camp-Meeting

By R. D. Hottel

This camp-meeting will be held in Forest Hill Park, near Richmond, Aug. 9-20, 1900. The authorities have granted us the free use of the park, with electric lights for pavilion, etc. Six running springs of water are within a hundred yards of the encampment. Thousands of persons from the city visit the park almost daily, and we believe we shall have a large attendance at the meeting. The park is about twenty minutes' ride from the union depot. The Richmond Passenger and Power Company's cars run from all parts of the city, with one fare, to the park. Those coming to the union depot will take the cars at the door. Those coming on the C. & O. R. R. will walk two squares south to Franklin street, take car, and transfer at Seventh Street. Those coming over the Southern will walk two squares north, to Main Street, take car, and transfer at Seventh Street. Those coming on the boat will take cars at the Wharf. All should inquire for Forest Hill Park cars, as the Richmond Traction Company does not transfer to the park. We hope that all our people will make special efforts to be present. The railroads have granted us a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip. Inquire of your agent, a few days before coming, about the rates. There will be a dining hall and grocery on the grounds. We expect Elders Cottrell, Ballenger, Place, and Moon, and others, at the meeting. For further information, see Virginia Messenger, or write to the undersigned, at New Market, Va.
