North Pacific Conference.

CAMP-MEETING.

THIS Conference will hold its next annual camp-meeting May 18-25, at East Portland, Oregon.

There are many reasons why every lover of the truth should be at this annual convocation, and why he should bring his children, friends, and neighbors. There are thousands in our Conference who are unacquainted with present truth. To us is committed the solemn trust of presenting this light to them. We have one year less in which to do this than at our last annual meeting. Our corps of workers has more than doubled, but we greatly need the reconverting influence of God's Spirit to fit us for the work he has given us to do.

We greatly fear some will not come at the beginning of this meeting. Perhaps they will get here the last of the week, and will then realize something of their loss, and will wonder why we do not have a two weeks' camp-meeting. Elder Geo. I. Butler can be with us just one week. This may be your last chance to meet with him. Best of all, we expect Jesus to be with us the entire week. If we can all be baptized with the Spirit from on high, we may hope to carry the truth to many souls during the coming year.

There will be a stand where healthful provisions can be obtained at reasonable rates; also a restaurant where a limited number can obtain meals.

Tents, if ordered in season, can be rented at the following rates: 12x14, $4.50; 10x12, $3.50; 8x10, $2.50. These you will find ready pitched on the ground. One dollar extra will be charged for floors. Send in your orders at once to Wm. Potter, East Portland, Oregon.

CONFERENCE.

The tenth annual session of the North Pacific Conference will be held in connection with the camp-meeting, May 18-25. Every church is entitled to one delegate, and an additional delegate for every ten members. Thus, if a church has ten members, it is entitled to two delegates, and an additional delegate for each additional ten members. These are to be elected by the church, and not appointed at the Conference, as has sometimes been done. Every one should be present at the first meeting, Tuesday, May 18, that the committees may be appointed, and all business be done early. The last of the meetings may then be devoted wholly to religious exercises.
