West Virginia Camp-Meeting

By F. H. Robbins

THE West Virginia Conference will hold its annual camp-meeting and conference session at Charleston, Sept. 4-14, 1913. This will be an important meeting, as God's people will have the privilege of coming together again in a holy convocation, after another year's labor and toil.

Prof. B. G. Wilkinson and other General Conference workers will be there to give instruction and preach the word. Prof. E. G. Salisbury, the new president of Mount Vernon College, is expected to be with us. Our local workers will be present. I trust that our brethren and sisters in this conference will not permit their common every-day work to hinder them from attending this important camp-meeting.

Meals will be served in the dining-tent at reasonable rates, on the cafeteria plan. Good rooms can be rented at from $2 to $3.50 per week. These rooms will be near the place of meeting. A few family tents will be pitched, but we advise the use of rooms, as they will be cheaper than tents. However, those desiring tents may have them, provided they are ordered at once. They will cost $3.50 each for the ten days; this is without floor or furnishings. Tents or rooms should be ordered at once. Send all orders to the West Virginia Conference, Fairmont, W. Va.

As the evenings may be damp and cold, it will be well to bring heavy wraps, umbrellas, and overshoes. Those occupying tents will need to bring bedding and necessary camping outfit. All bedding will be furnished to those occupying rooms. Bring Bibles and "Christ in Song."

Instead of a large tent, the new church building in West Charleston will be used for the meetings. Lots adjoining the church have been secured on which to pitch tents. Those coming to Charleston on either the C. & O. or K. & M. Railroads, would better go to the main street, on which the Capitol building is located, and take an electric car for West Charleston. Get off at the street which leads south to the West Charleston park. The church is located on this street, midway between the street-car line and the park.
