Kansas Camp-Meeting.

By J. H. Cook

THE Kansas Camp-meeting will be held May 22, at Bismarck, one mile from the historic city of Lawrence. Bismarck has been fitted up at great expense by the Union Pacific Railroad Co., for the convenience and comfort of camp-meetings, reunions, and conventions. No pains has been spared to make it one of the most delightful and pleasant places that the State affords for such a meeting as we purpose holding. There is on the ground a tabernacle that is said to accommodate 6,000 persons, stabling for 5,000 horses, and many other conveniences in the line of buildings, of which we may speak in the hereafter.

Special rates have been secured on the Union Pacific at four cents per mile round trip. We expect the same favors of other roads. Eld. S. N. Haskell and other able speakers from a distance are expected to attend. We are endeavoring to secure the labors of Sister White. We hope that she may attend, but cannot certainly say. We expect this meeting to be a gathering of thousands. We expect to see by far the largest gathering of S. D. Adventists that has ever convened in the State. Then we expect to see thousands from the outside. We give the notice thus early, so that all can begin to get ready. Brethren, you cannot afford to miss this most important meeting ever held in the State.

J. H. Cook, Pres.
