The Virginia Camp-Meeting

By William J. Stone

THIS meeting is to be held Aug. 22 to Sept. 1, 1912, at Richmond, Va., in the beautiful Idlewood Park. The camp will be located among the mammoth oak-trees, overlooking the lake. A better location could hardly have been secured. Here is a grand opportunity to worship, and commune with nature's God.

Those coming on the railroads can take the street-car and come direct to the camp-ground, or within two short blocks and in plain view of the camp.

While the business of the Virginia Conference will be transacted at this time, it is hoped that this will occupy but little time, and that the greater portion of the meeting will be given to the spiritual needs of the people, and the giving of the message to those who know it not.

It is our plan to study the instruction that has come to us from time to time regarding our duty to our neighbors, and instruction will

be given that will be intended to keep our people from backsliding when they return to their homes, and help to make them active workers.

Every effort will be put forth to make comfortable all who come. All who desire can tent in the shade, or rooms can be secured by walking four or five blocks. A pavilion on the ground will be used for public services in case of hard rains.

A dining-tent and provision-stand will be provided for the convenience of the people, with a minimum cost. Those having baggage should bring their checks to the camp-ground, and leave them at the book-stand, and the baggage will be delivered where they desire it.

A special invitation is extended to our brethren and sisters of the District of Columbia and Chesapeake Conferences to attend this gathering, and enjoy this feast of tabernacles with us. Good help from the General and Columbia Union Conferences is expected, and we are looking for a great outpouring of the Spirit of God.
