The Nebraska Camp-Meetings

By C. A. Beeson

The time has come for us to begin to plan to attend the camp-meetings. The first one is the Aurora meeting, and the time has almost arrived. Remember the time, July 19-29. This will be the meeting for all our people living in the central portion of the State, and we trust that the Spirit of God will cause us all to feel the need of the blessings that may be obtained by being present at these meetings. There is much to be done for us before we are prepared for the last great conflict that awaits us; and unless we keep up a continual battle against the evil spirit of this degenerate age, we shall drift with the tide, and share the fate of this wicked world. We must not allow the busy rush and whirl of business to keep us from these meetings, thus causing us to lose the means of grace that God has so graciously brought within our reach. We can well afford to lose a few dollars, if necessary, to get the blessings that God has in store for us by attending these annual gatherings of his people.
The second meeting will be at Fremont, August 3-12. This will be the meeting for all our people who live in the northeastern part of the State. The third meeting will be held at Beatrice, August 17-26. This will be the meeting for all living in the southeastern part of the State. The fourth and last meeting of the season will be held in the west central portion of the State.
These meetings have been planned and located for the purpose of bringing them within the reach of all our people, so that all may have a chance to attend at least one of them. My dear brethren, God is doing all that can possibly be done for our salvation; he has brought help within our reach. Let us appreciate it, and come to the feast and gain the strength that we so much need. We must ever keep in mind that the spirit of this age is deceptive, and it will take all the power of resistance that we have, connected with the power of God, to overcome this evil time. May the Lord give us all a realizing sense of the situation. Dear reader, God wants you to attend one or more of these meetings; do not disappoint him. General Conference men and ministers from our home State will be present to help us find the way of God more perfectly. Come and bring the family.
C. A. BEESON.
