THE FIRST INDIANA CAMP-MEETING.
By S. H. Lane
This meeting will be held at Noblesville, Aug. 5-11. Eld. D. M. Canright and W. C. White will be present. We desire the presence of every Sabbath-keeper in central and southern Indiana. The point at which the meeting is located is a convenient one for all the churches in the central part of the State. The annual business sessions of the Conference and T. and M. society will not be held at this meeting, so the time will be devoted to religious services. A Sabbath-school convention will be held during the meeting, which will be conducted by W. C. White. The regular lesson for the second Sabbath in August will be recited. Let all come prepared to take active part in the exercises. The grove in which the meeting will be held is a beautiful one. Ample provisions will be made for all who attend. Let all be on the ground ready for the first meeting, Tuesday evening, Aug. 5. Come prepared to remain until Tuesday morning, Aug. 12. We expect to have several tents on the ground to rent, from $3.00 to $4.00 for the entire meeting. Let those churches who have none come prepared to rent. If you cannot do this, come, and we will provide for you as best we can. REDUCED FARE TO INDIANA CAMP-MEETING.
Have just received word from the Indianapolis, Peru, and Chicago R. R., and the Anderson, Lebanon, and St. Louis R. R., both of which run through Noblesville, that they will convey passengers to the camp-meeting over their lines at half fare. Tickets to be sold from Aug. 5-13. The Indianapolis, Peru, and Chicago R. R. issue this year certificates, which must be obtained and presented to the ticket agent at the station where the cars are taken. The agent will then sell tickets at half fare. The company will furnish me with the certificates, and I will furnish to churches as soon as possible; yet many individuals may be missed, therefore let all who desire to attend the meeting address me immediately at Noblesville, Ind., and state how many will attend the camp-meeting from your place, and we will send you the certificates by return mail. The Anderson, Lebanon and St. Louis R. R. will sell tickets during the meeting at half fare on the entire line. A very little boy had one day done wrong, and was sent, after paternal correction, to ask in secret the forgiveness of his Heavenly Father. His offense was passion. Anxious to hear what he would say, his mother followed to the door of his room. In lisping accents she heard him ask to be made better; never to be angry again; and then, with child-like simplicity, he added, “Lord, make ma’s temper better, too.” Do nothing to-day that you would be likely to repent of to-morrow.
