The Illinois Camp-Meeting.
By R. M. Kilgore
THIS important State meeting will be held this year at Aurora, September 9-15. Aurora is about thirty-five miles southwest of Chicago, on the main line of the C. B. & Q. R. R. We have already the promise of reduced rates on the railroads leading to the city, and we expect to secure the same on the other connecting lines. The meeting will be held in the Even's Park, in the southern part of east Aurora. The Lincoln Avenue street-cars run directly in front of the park, making it accessible from all parts of the city. There are several reasons why Aurora was selected, which we trust all will see in due time. We are assured that Elder George I. Butler, president of the General Conference, Elder O. A. Olsen, and other prominent speakers, will be present to instruct the people. Meetings will be conducted in the English, Scandinavian, and French languages, and separate tents will be provided for these services, and also for children's meetings. We shall have on the grounds an ample supply of provisions at reasonable rates, and a dining tent where warm meals can be obtained by those who desire to come without preparations for cooking their own meals. Should any desire to rent tents they can obtain them by corresponding with William Armstrong, 136 Lake Street, Chicago, Illinois. There will also be a good supply of books, tracts, and periodicals on the ground. The readers of the SIGNS throughout the State of Illinois are cordially invited to attend this meeting. We would urge you to come and share with us the benefits we hope to enjoy. You cannot but be profited by coming, and we feel sure you will be pleased with the manner in which the meetings will be conducted. Remember the time, and come prepared to remain till the meeting closes. R. M. KILGORE.
