Upper Columbia Conference.

By John Norton Loughborough, William T. Goodwin,; Thomas L. Ragsdale

THE BIBLICAL INSTITUTE.

A BIBLICAL Institute, to be conducted by Elder E. J. Waggoner, of Healdsburg College, will be held upon the Milton, Oregon, camp-ground, commencing first-day, May 24, and continuing till June 3. A sufficient number of tents will be erected in season to accommodate all who attend the Institute. This will be a rare opportunity for the study of Bible truth. We hope to see a full attendance of our people in the U. C. Conference. You cannot make a better appropriation of these ten days than in availing yourselves of the advantages offered by the institute.

THE CAMP-MEETING.

This camp-meeting is to be held at Milton, Umatilla County, Oregon, commencing the evening of June 3 and ending on the morning of the 10th. All are invited to attend. Those wishing to do so, can rent tents at the same rate as last year. Let all such write to Wm. Goodwin, Milton, Oregon, so that the tents may be secured and pitched in good season. There will be no restaurant upon the camp-ground this year, but there will be a provision stand from which fresh bread and other supplies can be obtained at the lowest possible rates. Ample provision will also be made for horses. Brethren and sisters, all come to the meeting, and bring your friends with you.

THE CONFERENCE.

The annual session of the U. C. Conference for the year 1885 will be held on the camp-ground at Milton, in connection with the camp-meeting, June 3-10. Let each church in this Conference immediately elect their delegates, furnishing them with credentials, and also with a report of its standing, losses, and additions during the Conference year. Let all the churches be reported, either by delegates or by letter. Let all letters, from churches or individuals, be directed to J. N. Loughborough, Milton, Umatilla County, Oregon.

THE SABBATH-SCHOOL.

The Sabbath-school Association of the U. C. Conference will hold its annual session for the year 1885 in connection with the camp-meeting at Milton, June 3-10.

THE TRACT AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

The annual session of the U. C. Tract and Missionary Society for the year 1885 will be held in connection with the Milton camp-meeting, June 3-10.

REDUCTION OF RAILROAD FARE.

All parties coming by the Northern Pacific Railroad to the camp-meeting at Milton, Oregon, June 3-10, will pay full fare to Wallula Junction, and obtain, on the camp-ground, a certificate by which they will be entitled to return tickets from Wallula for one-fifth the regular fare.

NOTE.—We hope to get reduced return rates over O. R. and N. lines. The company has the matter under consideration, promising a report soon.
