Nebraska Camp-Meeting.

By Nebraska Conference Committee

It is now decided to hold our camp-meeting five days longer than heretofore announced: Sept. 19 to Oct. 1. There will be preaching three times each day, in the English, German, and Scandinavian languages.

Four large pavilions will be pitched and comfortably seated for the preaching services. There will also be over one hundred smaller tents on the ground, some of which will be for sale and to rent; so that every one can be provided with a comfortable home while in attendance. No pains will be spared to make the grounds pleasant, and the meetings profitable.

A well-supplied provision-stand will be on the ground for the accommodation of the attending public.

A large book-stand will also be provided to supply the increasing demand for our publications.

The names of the speakers will be announced in the future; we expect able speakers from New England, Iowa, Dakota, Minnesota, and California.

Any one expecting to travel over the U. P. Railroad to and from the meeting, should apply at once to Eld. A. J. Cudney, Fremont, Neb., giving name, and stating the station at which you wish to purchase ticket, and you will receive a certificate which will entitle you to a round-trip ticket on presentation to the local agent, for one and one-fourth fares. This certificate will be required at all stations on this line, and will be good as early as Monday, Sept. 17; and the tickets will be good until the second day after the close of the meeting. Persons living on this road north of Columbus should buy their tickets only to that point, and thence over the B. and M. Railroad to Crete, for three-fourths of one fare for the round trip.

Those living on the U. P. Railroad north of Hastings will buy tickets to that point at the same rates as those given above to Columbus, and from there will buy round-trip tickets over the B. and M. Railroad; but we cannot now give the rate of fare from that point to Crete and return, but will make it known in the future.

Those living north of Omaha on the line of the C., St. P., M. and O. Railroad will pay full fare from their homes to Omaha, and there will buy round-trip tickets to Crete and return, for three-fourths of one fare, over the B. and M. Railroad; and at the meeting you will be provided with a certificate that will entitle you to return from Omaha home for one-fourth single fare.

Our brethren in eastern Iowa and northern Kansas will be heartily welcomed to this meeting. Come, and with us seek the blessing of God. And let none of our brethren in this Conference think for a moment of losing the benefit of this annual gathering, which, we confidently expect will be much the largest ever held in this State. Lay your plans to be on the ground the first day, and let nothing interfere, and stay till the close.
