NORTH-WESTERN KANSAS CAMP-MEETING.
By Charles F. Stevens
This meeting has been appointed at Black Hawk, Osborn Co., to begin Wednesday, Oct. 16, and to continue till the 21st. The design of this meeting is to secure a general rally of all our brethren and sisters in the north-western part of the State, who, on account of the distance, have not, as a general thing, been able to attend our general camp-meetings held in the eastern part of the State. This is the first meeting of the kind ever held in that section; and the success or failure of this meeting will determine, in a great measure, the propriety of holding similar meetings in the future. Now, dear brethren, we want you to do all you can to make this meeting a successful one. Let no trivial excuse hinder you from coming; and try to get all of your neighbors that are favorable to the truth to come with you. You have selected your own time and place. The Conference Committee will do the best they can in sending help; so if all will make a special effort to come to this meeting to seek the Lord with all their hearts, it will prove a grand success. The forty-foot tent will be pitched in the grove near the Solomon River. We have written to the General Conference Committee, requesting help. We shall be very grateful if they see fit to grant our request, if not, we must all make up our minds to do the best we can. It will be necessary to bring bedding, and to come prepared to take care of yourselves generally. There are brethren living near who will look after the wants of those who are feeble in health. There are quite a number of brethren and sisters who have but recently moved into this new country from other States. We want to see these at the meeting, prepared to represent the wants of the cause in their respective localities. We want to lay plans for more actively engaging in the T. and M. work this coming fall and winter. Straw and hay will be furnished on the grounds. Grain can be had for the teams for little or nothing. Providence has favored this part of the State with good crops; let us come before the Lord with thanksgiving, and pay our vows unto the Most High. CHAS. F. STEVENS.
