Joint Camp-Meeting of the Pennsylvania and Atlantic Conferences.
By R. A. Underwood
Arrangements have been made with the Atlantic Conference to join us in our camp-meeting at Philadelphia. We believe that this union of the two Conferences in a camp-meeting will result in great good. Let everybody come, who can; and you who do not come, pray that a glorious victory may be gained for the cause of truth in Philadelphia, and that great good may come to those who attend. Let all take notice of the directions how to reach the camp after arriving at Broad Street station. Those who can not come, in both conferences, should have The North American to read during the two weeks of the meeting. Orders for tents, already sent in, assure us that we shall have a good attendance. Card orders for one-third railroad fare can be secured of W. M. Lee, Williamsport, Pa. The location of the camp is on a beautiful lawn, 4700 North Fifth St., Philadelphia. Street cars pass the grounds. The North American can be obtained during the two weeks of the meeting for the small sum of twelve cents. Send in your subscriptions to W. M. Lee, Box 614, Williamsport, Pa. The Pennsylvania Gleaner contained the following instructions in regard to railroad rates, etc.:— The usual rate of two cents a mile has been granted to the conference and camp-meeting at Philadelphia, June 7 to 17, by the Trunk Line Association. This rate will be allowed, from points in Pennsylvania, on card orders, by the following roads: Delaware Lackawanna & Western, Lehigh Valley, Central Railroad of New Jersey, Philadelphia & Reading, and Pennsylvania railroads. Tickets will be good going from June 4-12; returning to June 20, inclusive. To reach the grounds: All persons coming over the Pennsylvania lines will arrive at Broad Street station, then buy a local ticket to North Penn Junction for ten cents, rechecking baggage. The Fox Chase cars pass the depot, and run to the grounds, one mile north. Those coming over the Reading lines, or over the Lehigh Valley and changing to the Reading at Bethlehem, must be sure to check their baggage to Columbia Avenue Station, but get off themselves at the Terminal depot, and take the cars east on Market to Fifth Street and change, taking Fox Chase car up Fifth to the grounds. Buy an exchange ticket on the Market Street car, costing eight cents. Leave your checks at the book stand on the grounds, and your baggage will be hauled at the best possible rates.
