A CALL TO NEBRASKA AND WESTERN IOWA.
By Chas. L. Boyd
Dear Brethren, your continued calls have been heard, and the second Nebraska Camp-meeting is soon to be held. The first, which was held last October, was a grand success. Those who attended will need no urging to come again. But some were not there, and, having lately embraced the truth, have never had the privilege of attending one of our camp-meetings. Such cannot realize their importance and value. The chosen people of God used to come long distances, and, often, under unfavorable circumstances, to meet together to worship the Lord of hosts. We have been inquiring for the “old ways,” and having found them, let us walk therein. Many of you have heard a course, or a part of a course, of lectures, which has led you to accept this glorious truth, and you have hardly seen the face of a minister since, while some have never heard a discourse. To all such I want to say, Come up to this “feast of tabernacles.” And now I want to urge you to be in season. You cannot afford to lose the first meeting. If you come late, you are not prepared to enter into the spirit of the meeting, and the meetings are interrupted by new arrivals, who must pitch their tents and greet friends. To avoid this, for your own sakes and the sake of others, come to the ground one day before the meetings commence. It is thought the place most central for all interested has been selected. It is rather late in the season, so come prepared for cool evenings and mornings. Perhaps this is the most favorable season of all the year for this locality. Let all come prepared to take care of themselves, and one or two of their friends. Provision and horse feed will be on the ground, at reasonable rates. Dear brethren, commence at once to make preparation for the CAMP-MEETING. Let every camping place by the way be a witness that you have wrestled with the angel of the Lord, to come with you. CHAS. L. BOYD.
