The Minnesota Conference and Camp-Meeting
THE annual session of the Minnesota Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will be held in connection with the State camp-meeting at Stillwater, May 29 to June 7. The regular business of the conference will be confined to the first four days of the meeting, May 29 to June 2. The regular workers' meeting will precede the conference, being held from May 22-29. Churches will please elect delegates at once, and send names of the same to the conference secretary, Elder H. F. Phelps, 118 W. Minnehaha Boulevard, Minneapolis, Minn. Each church is entitled to one delegate at large, and one delegate for every fifteen of its membership. The different lines of railway in the State have kindly granted a reduced rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip, on the certificate plan. To secure the reduction, each one, when purchasing his ticket to come to the meeting, should secure a certificate for the same from the agent. This certificate should be brought to the camp-ground and turned in immediately to the secretary, Elder H. F. Phelps. Those traveling over more than one line of railway in coming to the meeting should purchase a ticket over each line traversed, and should be sure to secure a certificate for each ticket purchased. This is an important point, as a large portion of those who will attend the meeting will have to change in St. Paul. Certificates will not be honored if issued to cover the purchase of more than one single-trip fare. In order to secure the reduction, tickets must be purchased from May 26 to June 1 inclusive, and they are good for the return trip any time during the meeting, and to June 10 inclusive. Those who fail to take the certificates, as directed, will have to pay full fare both ways. Tickets are honored by the railway companies only on the date of sale, so no one can purchase them during the specified time, and expect to use them at a later date. We trust that all our brethren will make a special effort to attend this gathering. Many important measures will come before this meeting, and the counsel of each brother and sister in the State is needed, especially of those who are bearing the responsibilities in the home, on the farm, in the workshop, etc. Brethren, let us each lay down the busy cares of the home and business for a few days, and come up to this meeting prepared to share in the responsibilities of the work that the Lord has laid upon us to perform. May the heart of every member in Minnesota be uplifted to God in supplication for the success of this gathering and of his work in this State.
