How to Go to Camp-Meeting to Be Blessed.
By I. Sanborn
Come in season to pitch your tents before the meeting commences; as it not only disturbs the meeting to have the noise and bustle of pitching tents after the meeting has commenced, but you are unprepared to engage in the worship of God, as it is your duty to do in order to secure the blessing that God would be pleased to have you receive by going to such a meeting if you go as you should. Those coming to the Wisconsin Camp meeting should be on the ground Wednesday in time to have their tents pitched before Thursday morning. And those coming without tents should not forget to bring a straw tick and sufficient bedding for their use while here. There will be plenty of tent room on the ground in which they can make their beds. One thing more very important is, to not overcharge the stomach with food while here. Not only does doing this blunt the finer sensibilities, but such persons are liable to be sick on the ground; and then they go home from the meeting feeling that it has been a failure. So it has, in their case. But it was because they violated the command of Jesus in Luke 21:34. Please read it before you go. I. SANBORN.
