Wisconsin Camp-meeting.

By H. W. Decker; O. A. Olsen; Geo. C. Tenney

This meeting will be held at Madison, Wis., May 29 to June 4. The ground is situated about one mile from the capitol building, on the east side of Fourth Lake, and on the road from the capitol to the asylum. The place is called “Brigg’s Grove.”

The meeting is reached from the north by the C. and N. W. and the C., M. and St. P. railroads. Those coming by the latter will change at Portage, and ticket to East Madison. Notify the conductor, and he will let you off near the ground. Those coming from the north-east on the C. and N. W. road will change at Watertown Junction, and take tickets to East Madison. Those coming on the old Milwaukee road will change at Portage. Come from the east and west on the Milwaukee and Prairie du Chien road, and from the south on the C. and N. W. Be sure to call for round-trip tickets, which will make the fare three cents per mile.

Hay, straw, and provision will be provided on the ground, as usual.

Now, brethren, we want this meeting to excel in numbers and interest any that we have ever held in the State. We ask the elders and leaders of our churches to encourage and urge the people to come. It will be at a time when the planting and sowing will all be done; and no doubt this is as good a time as any in the year for the people to leave home. You can’t afford to lose this means of grace. The real benefit you will get at the meeting will more than repay you for any sacrifice of time and means it may cost you. If you have unconverted children or friends, bring them along. Perhaps you have neighbors who believe the truth, but are not living it out; and if you could get them under the influence of such a meeting as this, no doubt they would have strength to take up the cross. We want all the tents in the State on the ground. If you cannot come, and have a church or family tent, ship it to Madison by freight, and we will return it, paying charges both ways. There will be new family tents on the ground, for sale or to rent. There will also be tent room provided for those who do not wish to buy or rent.

We are glad to inform you that Eld. D. M. Canright and Bro. C. W. Stone, of New England, will attend the meeting. Brethren, let us have a grand rally.
