NEBRASKA CAMP-MEETING.

By Chas. L. Boyd

It is decided to hold this meeting at Seward, on the ground occupied last year. The time will be as near the last of September as consistent with the convenience of the help sent us by the General Conference.

Perhaps it will be unnecessary to urge upon those who have attended these meetings their importance; but a goodly number who have embraced our faith during the past year do not understand their nature. To such I appeal. God commanded his people anciently to assemble regularly for his worship. “Three times shalt thou keep a feast unto me in the year.” If they needed three annual gatherings three thousand years ago, we who are living amid the perils of the last days, certainly cannot forego the one proffered us. Commence at once to make arrangements to attend this meeting. If you want your children converted, bring them with you. Invite your neighbors to take their teams and come. Let there be a general rally. Come in season to have your tents pitched and be ready for the first meeting. Come to stay till the close. As you value the interest of the meeting, do not leave the ground till the last benediction has been pronounced. Say to home cares, “Abide ye here, while I go and worship yonder.” CHAS. L. BOYD.
