Camp-Meeting in Nebraska.
It has been decided to hold our next annual camp-meeting and State Conference at Crete, Saline Co., twenty miles southwest of Lincoln. We sincerely hope that this choice will meet the minds of our people in this State, as it has been made with reference to the general interests of the cause, and to best accommodate the greatest number of those who shall attend. The meeting will commence Wednesday, Sept. 19, 1883, and continue six days. Mr. J. C. Vickles has kindly offered us the free use of his pleasant grove, which is conveniently located on the bank of the Big Blue River, one-half mile north west of the depot. Very low excursion rates have been secured on the B. and M. and U. P. railroads, and arrangements have been made for special trains as they may be needed. Round-trip tickets will be sold from any point on the above-named roads, to people going to the meeting, on the following basis of rates: Where ten or more tickets are sold, one and one-fourth fare; twenty-five or more, one fare; fifty or more, three-fourths fare. Therefore at some of the principle points, the following rates will prevail: From Columbus and return, $2.85; from Omaha and return, $2.65; from Hastings and return, $2.30; from Beatrice and return, 90 cts.; from Lincoln and return, 60 cts. Tickets good the entire time of meeting. Parties wishing to take the train at other points than those mentioned above, should write as soon as possible to Eld. A. J. Cudney, Fremont, Neb., stating about how many will attend from their locality, so the agent can be notified, and the lowest rates secured. As these low rates of fare have been secured, we think it better for all who can, to leave their teams at home and come by rail. The expenses, in most cases, would be lighter—as we will have to pay for all hay used—and then all our time can be given to the meetings, instead of caring for teams. We are determined, by the help of God, to make this meeting the largest and best meeting ever held in this State, and to this end we solicit your prayers and hearty co-operation. Commence now to prepare to attend. Talk to your neighbors about it, and try to get them to attend. Bring your children, with you. We hope and expect to see an attendance of several thousand persons. There will be preaching three times each day in the English, German, and Scandinavian languages. The names of the speakers will be announced in the future. Those expecting to attend the meeting would better preserve a copy of this paper for future reference. The Crete Board of Trade makes us a donation of $50 to help defray expenses. A. J. CUDNEY,
