The Minnesota Camp-Meeting.
By Calvin Kelsey
It has been decided to hold this meeting at Medford, Steele Co., Minn., as the place most convenient and central. Medford is on the Minnesota Central R. R. Those coming on the Winona & St. Peter R. R., will change cars at Owatonna. It is intended that ample provisions will be made for those who wish to procure food on the ground, as a provision stand will be kept at which food can be had at reasonable rates; also hay, grains, and good pasturage one mile and a half from the ground for those who wish to use it. We are aware that it is no small task and sacrifice for many of our people in Minnesota to prepare to attend camp-meeting for want of means; yet we think all will be paid for all the efforts they may put forth to attend. A year with its toils, perplexities, and temptations, is before us, and we shall need the strength we shall receive to pass safely through them. Come to the camp-meeting. Bring your friends, and those you wish to see converted, and let us all who can, bring a thank-offering to God for all his mercies shown, and that we are enabled still to have our faces set toward the end of the race. And let all endeavor to have the meeting characterized with good order, as though worshiping at the house of God. We still hope that Bro. and Sister White will be with us, and will do all in our power to relieve them of cares that they should not bear. Wells, Faribault Co., Minn., May 22, 1871.
