Rates to Upper Columbia Camp-Meeting
By A. J. BREED
WORD has been received from the railway companies that reduced rates have been granted to those attending the camp-meeting at Milton, Ore., May 17-27. Those living on the O. R. & N. will purchase tickets to Milton, paying full fare, and taking a receipt from the agent where the ticket is purchased, stating that the ticket is for the camp-meeting. Those living on the Great Northern or the Northern Pacific should purchase tickets, taking receipt for each ticket purchased to points on the O. R. & N.; and wherever second ticket is purchased, receipt should be taken for the same. This will entitle the holder to return at one-third fare. These certificates should be preserved, and they must be signed by the conference secretary before the holder can secure the reduction in rates. Now, brethren and sisters, this is no ordinary time in which we are living. The terrible calamities that are taking place in the world, and the fulfilment of the signs of the times predicting the soon coming of Christ, all emphasize the great necessity of our having the benefits and privileges of these annual gatherings. We expect Elders Daniells and Irwin to attend the meeting, and everything will be done that can be to make it a help to those who attend. These brethren are greatly burdened for the success of this work and the preparation of a people to stand in the battle of the Lord. Tents should be ordered at once, the price of which will be $2.50. Send all orders to T. L. Copeland, College Place, Wash. Come prepared to care for yourselves as far as possible. A dining tent will be run on the ground, where meals can be furnished at a reasonable rate. Check all baggage to Milton, delivering checks to camp-meeting baggage-man, who will be at the train to meet you. There will be a workers' meeting, at which special instruction will be given. It is also expected that part of the business of the conference will be transacted at that time. Tickets will be on sale May 8; also 15, 16, and 17. Those attending the workers' meeting will not be able to purchase tickets upon any other date than May 8. If further information is required, write us at College Place, Wash. A. J. BREED.
