will take Christ as their pattern in all
things, loving him with the whole
heart, and serving him with the whole
being. He says, " Whosoever will
come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross, and follow me."
The child of God must not be guided
nor governed by human wisdom ; for
this always leads away from the path
of self-denial and cross-bearing cast
up for the ransomed of the Lord.
At this time there comes to us a
most solemn message, " Come out
from among them, and be ye separate,
. . . and touch not the unclean
thing." God calls for faithful men
and women to be in the world, but
not of the world. The believing people of God, those who are worthy to
claim kinship with him, will demonstrate the genuineness of their relationship by being true witnesses for the
truth. By their modesty in apparel,
by their Christlike words and actions,
they will show that they are sons and
daughters of t h e heavenly King.
They will wear the pilgrim's dress and
manifest the pilgrim's spirit, witnessing a good confession.
We are not to shut ourselves away
from the world to escape from' it.
Christ's prayer to his Father was,
" Not that thou shouldest take them

322 (2)

out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil." We
have a work to do in the world, the
work of seeking for lost souls. The
law of God is made void: God calls
upon us to stand in defense of this
law. As Christ was the light of the
world, so we are to be lights in the
world, but he was not of the world.
Men did not understand him. His
self-sacrifice was to them a mystery.
He lived a life apart from them. " He
was in the world, and the world was
made by him, and the world knew him
not." They hated him because he
would not be one with them. Had
he united with them in eager pursuit
for applause, for riches, for worldly
honor, they would not have hated
him ; for he would have been of them.
And because the world knew not the
Saviour, it knows not his followers.
Christ said of his followers, " As
thou hast sent me into the world, even
so have I also sent them into the
world." Many think that worldly apappearance is necessary in our work,
in order that the right impression may
be made. But this is an error. Appearance has something, yes, much,
to do with the impression made upon
minds, but the appearance must be
after a godly sort. Let it be seen
that the workers are bound up with
God and heaven. There should be
no striving for recognition from the
world in order to gain character and
influence for the truth. Consistency
is a jewel. Our faith, our dress, our
deportment, must be in harmony with
the character of our work,—the presentation of the most solemn message
ever given to the world. Our effort
should be to win men to the truth by
preaching the word and by living
godly lives. We should strive earnestly to show that the great truths
we are handling are a reality to us.
The Lord will impress minds if we
will work with earnestness.
The Lord sees not as man sees.
Those whom he most loves and honors
are often the objects of the -scorn and

ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER
derision of the enemy. He desires
us to learn the lesson that we shall
not gain true success in his work by
trying to meet the criterion of the
world. Hypocrisy and pretense can
find no favor in his sight.
The victories gained by the soul are nct
measured by outside appearance or
by the praise of men, but by the goodness which shines forth in the life, by
the firm adherence to God's holy law.
All the thoughts of the mind, all the
aspirations of the soul, are read by
him with whom we have to do. In
every line of his work let our principles, purposes, words, and deeds be
pure and unselfish. Let us manifest
truth and goodness to all men.
Regard not pretense and show as a mark
of greatness, but reveal the sanctified
ambition which Christ revealed in his
life, an ambition to make the world
better by having lived in it.
In God's great work there is need
of conscientious, godly men,—men
who have been wrestlers in their lifework, who have maintained a good
fight against evil, who have sought
not for the applause of the people,
but for the favor of God. Men
are needed through whom God can
work, men who will wrestle with the
Lord in prayer, and. then go forth into
the work with the inspiration he alone
can give. Workers are needed who
will pray, and then act their prayers,
remembering that they are a spectacle
to the world, to angels, and to men.
MRS. E. G. WHITE.
- THE IMPORTANCE OF CIRCULATING
OUR LITERATURE.
" IT is God's purpose that his people
shall be a sanctified people, communicating light to all around them."—
"Testimonies for the Church," Vol.
VIII, p. .r4. There is no better or
more effective way of communicating
light to the people about us than by
the circulation of our good literature.
In this work every one who is able to
walk to the nearest neighbor's, and

who is old enough to have a love for
the truth, may have a part. The plan
of taking clubs of the Signs of the Times
and other periodicals, and circulating
them each week, is an excellent one.
It brings the worker in contact with
the people each week, and also places
in the hands of the people something
fresh from the printing-press upon the
living issues of the day.
Since special issues of some of our
papers have been the order of the day,
we have feared that the regular clubs
of papers would in a measure be dropped. This should not be. We do
not desire to say anything against the
special issues, for they are excellent,
and the sale of them is a grand work,
and a heaven-sent privilege ; but while
we engage in these special efforts, we
should in no way slacken our efforts
in the regular lines of home-missionary
work. If all our church-members were
alive to these lines of work in which
all can take part, what a mighty stir
would soon be seen in the earth !
Our excellent tracts and pamphlets
would come off from our State tract
society shelves, and in a little while
the call for such literature would be
so great that our printing-presses
would be running night and day.
A spasmodic effort now and then in
missionary work does not meet the
mind of the Lord. The Lord would
have a people who are awake to every
opportunity seven days in the week,
and fifty-two weeks in the year. But,
you say, that includes Sabbath. Is it
wrong to give souls the light of truth
on the Sabbath ? It is true that the
Sabbath is not the proper time to go
out selling literature on the streets ;
but there are many ways that we can
shed rays of light on the Sabbath days.
The writer has noticed that many
of our regular book canvassers do not
average more than two or three days'
work a week. This is certainly not
as the Lord would have it. No one
could hope for success in carpenter
work, or any live manual labor, if he
only worked half the time. How

'many souls now in darkness might

years had improved every opportunity

them! Again, the man or woman who
gets the truth by reading it for him', self and becomes established in the
message in this way, is not easily discouraged, and usually proves to be a
good, substantial member.
We hope that our Vermont brethren
and sisters will carefully consider this
matter, and will steadily go forward in
the circulation of our good literature.
Lend your bound books to your neighbors ; hand out tracts ; sell the papers ;
sell " Object Lessons;" write missionary letters ; make missionary visits ;

Let us be full of the message for the
time.

OWING THE LORD.
rr

RECENTLY we received a letter from
one of our sisters stating that the enclosed post-office money-order paid in
full all the tithe that she owed the
Lord, and that this record now dated
back to the time when she first became
a Seventh-day Adventist. In other
words the money then forwarded to
the treasury of the Lord paid in full
all the tithe due the Lord since she
first became a Sabbath-keeper and
learned her duty to God in the payment of tithes. This was not said in
any boastful manner, but simply this
statement was made.
I could but think what a good record
this was, and also that if every Seventh-day Adventist whose name appears on the church roll could truthfully say the same, what a different
tale would be told by the accounts of
the various State conference treasurer.,' books, and the Union Confercut. _ trt....sur.!fs' record, as well as that

of the General Conference treasurer.
Were this true of every Seventh-day
Adventist, a record would be made
that would cause every fiber of the old
advent message to vibrate and revibrate with a thrill of genuine life that
could not be hushed until the King
shall be seen coming to claim his own.
And why not ? Why should there
be any record but the one like the
sister's to which we have referred ?
Anything less than that means what ?
All know the answer.
It is not the money itself, or the returning alone that counts for so much,
but the loyalty to God back of it, the
joy of helping God's cause,—that is
where the great blessing would come
in. The act of truthfulness and fzithfulness in reckoning with God in the
matter of the tithe, is surely one of the
great channels by which is insured the
blessing of God upon his people. And
his people is the cause. When they
prosper, it prospers. When they
wither spiritually, it withers. How
much better the satisfaction of knowing
that we owe the Lord nothing in tithes,
compared with the continual condemnation of known duty and obligation
unperformed.
Reader, are you owing the Lord ?
T. E. BOWEN.

And every day and hour is thine:

FROM those to whom God has entrusted much, he requires much, while
those who have but little are required
to give accordingly; but all may give
themselves, and in their actions show
their fidelity to the precious cause of
Christ. Many can retrench their expenditures, and thus increase their
liberality for Christ. Self-denial for
Christ's sake is the battle before us.

FIELD

HARTFORD, CONN.

18, when the new campaign
on " Christ's Object Lessons " was
placed before the church, eighty copies
were taken, making one hundred and
twelve in all for the Hartford church.
Nearly all, as far as I have heard,
seem willing to prosecute this work
till its object is accomplished.
June 26, five young people from
twelve to eighteen years of age, were
baptized at Brother D. A. Bidwell's
farm, at Bloomfield. After the baptism a special service was held and
the people repaired to a shady spot
where seats had been provided, and
listened to an instructive and timely
discourse from Elder H. W. Cottrell
on the Fulfilment of Scripture and
the Christian Life." In the evening
from previous appointment by the
pastor, I spoke in the Methodist
church on the subject " The Home of
the Saved." The following Sabbath
the five who were baptized, were received into the church by the elder,
D. A. Bidwell. We trust these young
people may ever keep their minds
centered upon Christ and his love for
them.
June 27, Brethren Cottrell, Bidwell,
and the writer went to Hebron to see
a farm of two hundred acres (with a
seventeen-roomed house, besides attic)
concerning which Brother Loomis, its
owner, has made a proposition to the
conference respecting an agricultural
school. No decision has yet been
made respecting the project, and probably will not be made before our
camp-meeting this fall.

THE effort at Lancaster is very encouraging. The Lord has moved the
people with great convicting power.
Some were converted from lukewarmness and others from coldness.
The Lord has already blessed us with
a number of dear souls, and according to the interest manifested, there
will yet be a goodly number who will
surrender all, and accept the glorious
message for this present age. All efforts are exerted to promulgate that
truth, that all may fully comprehend
what the Lord desires from his people.
Our congregations have been about
the same all along, even during the
presentation of the Sabbath. We
have had a good attendance during
all these rainy days.
Last Sabbath, July 9, we organized
the first Sabbath-school at Lancaster,
at which time twenty-nine adults were
present, also a few children. Some
of these are Sabbath observers. A
goodly number, however, are still halting between two opinions. We, therefore, greatly need the prayers of the
saints ; so we ask our people to earnestly pray for the work here, that
many souls may be adopted into the
kingdom of his dear Son.
We need your prayers that the
work may continue to prosper. We

AMONG THE CHURCHES.
FRIDAY, July 1, I spent a short time
with the tent company at Melrose. I
was pleased to find that the new tent
we have just had made in Brooklyn
was pitched, and all things were ready
for the meetings to begin.
The tent
is quite satisfactory so far as we could
see. It is apparently well made, and
is a neat, commodious house for worship. Elder Wheeler, who will have
the special burden of the work there,
expressed himself as being of good
courage, and feeling quite confident
that a good work would be done. I
was encouraged by this, also by the
fact that Elder Russell is improving in
health. I trust that he may have our
prayers that he may be speedily filled
with all the vital powers of past days
for work in the great Boston field once
more, that so much needs his presence.
I spent a portion of the day at the
sanitarium.
In the evening the family had their preparatory meeting for
the church quarterly services. The
testimonies were willingly given, and
were of a cheerful end encouraging
nature.
I had a little conversation in the
afternoon with a physician who is a
patient there, and who has become
deeply interested in our sanitarium
work. He is a man of means and influence, and I was impressed by his
remarks, which in substance were as

follows : " It certainly seems sad that
with the location and surroundings
you have here, which exceed any
other place I have ever visited, and I
have visited nearly all the popular resorts in this country, and in France
and Germany, that you do not have a
building here with the accommodations
and up-to-date improvements that men'
of means want, and are perfectly willing to pay for. I know several who
would be glad to come here, but they
will not until you have what they
want. They want their own bath, and
toilet-room, and they are willing to
pay for it, and they go where they
can get it," etc.
I told him that I knew these things
to be true, and that we were trying to
raise funds as fast as possible by
which to put up a new building which
would contain just what he had suggested. That we had over five thousand dollars already pledged, but the
money had to be raised by donations.
That it had cost us quite an effort to
get what we now have. " Yes," he
said, " and God must have done a
great deal for you, or you could never
have secured this location as you did,
and now I feel anxious to see the sanitarium succeed."
This man, I understand, makes no
profession of religion, and it touched
'my heart to see the interest and spirit
he manifested. It made me long even
more than ever before for the necessary money that we may go ahead
with the building. If our people do
not or can not do this, I believe the
Lord will raise up friends to this
cause who are not of us, and who, like
this man, make no profession, but
who see and love the great principles
of truth which God has given to us to
give to the world. Do not you, as
you read this, feel impressed to help
on this new building ? Do you not
know some one else who has means
whom you could influence to help in
this matter ?
Sabbath morning Elder Russell and
I visited the Danvers church, where

(5) 325
we had a hearty welcome and a very
pleasant meeting. Nearly all the
members voted to pay ten cents each
week during this summer for the tent
and camp-meeting fund. A collection
amounting to over two dollars was
taken at the close to be applied to this
fund.
I find that our brethren and
sisters are encouraged by the fa- ct that
we have three tents in the field this
summer, and we believe they are all
glad to assist this aggressive work
with their prayers and their means.
In the afternoon we met with the
Beverly church in quarterly meeting.
We endeavored to emphasize the fact
that the body and blood of Christ
must be with us, not simply on quarterly occasions, but daily ; that these
ordinances mean crucifixion and resurrection to us as truly as to Christ ;
that every cross day by day means
crucifixion for that is the real significance of the cross. We need something more than the form of kneeling
to wash one another's feet. We need
the spirit of true service in the heart
daily. This will melt away differences and unite us as drops of water,
and thus we may he a river of blessing to the perishing world.
May God bless all our dear people
with a heart to seek him earnestly for
a preparation for true service.
A. E. PLACE.
NIANTIC, R. I.
As I READ from week to week of
the wonderful blessing that the Lord
is pouring out on his people everywhere, I have thought you would like
to hear from our little company at
Niantic. I can truly say that the Lord
is with us as we meet from Sabbath
to Sabbath, and his presence is felt in
every heart, as is shown by the testimonies of all who are present.
Although our number has been
made smaller by some of the members'
leaving us to join the church at Westerly, the promise is, " Where two or
three are gathered together in my

326 ;6)
name, there I am in the midst," and
we can testify that this promise has
been fulfilled to us.
While we are somewhat scattered,
some of our number having to walk
six or seven miles and back, in order
to attend the meeting, the Lord wonderfully blesses us, and we feel more
than repaid for the effort that we put
forth.
Seventeen were present last Sabbath,
and listened to a very helpful sermon
by Brother E. A. Stillman, from Behold, I come quickly : hold that fast
which thou hast, that no man take thy
crown." Rev. 3:11.
After the meeting, as we were talking of the goodness and love of God,
one brother asked the question, " Why
is it that we so dread to part ? " We
decided that, being members of one
family, we were in touch with one another, thus causing a union in the
family circle. We, as a little circle,
are endeavoring to be bright and shining lights trying by God's help to hold
up the truth for these last days to
those around us.
May God help us one and all to do
our part scattering this precious truth.
Pray for us.

A FEW items in regard to the work
here may be of general interest. The
spring term of ten weeks closed the
evening of June 30 with a program by
the pupils of the school. The patrons
of the school were all present, and,
some were in who were not of our
faith. The program—a varied one
occupied one h o u r, and elicited
marked attention and interest. The
schoolroom was well decorated with
potted plants, cut flowers, and ferns.
The enrolment during the past
school year has been seventeen with
a very regular attendance of fifteen.
Individuality and independence of
thought and action have been encouraged. Some have made real. growth
in grace, and others have chosen present pleasure to eternal good. The
pupils here are nearly all members of
the church.
A large flower garden has been
planted containing individual plots for
all who wished to plant flowers. A
new strawberry bed has been set out
and well cared for, and five dollars'
worth of berries were sold from the
old one. The most of the garden has
been planted to potatoes. Some
squashes and a few beans have been
put in. All look well now.

that are due were paid, there would
be about twenty dollars in the hands
of the treasurer with which to begin
to meet the expenses of the fall term.
A few books must be purchased ere
that time. This money has not all
come from tuitions and the garden,
for less than a year ago there was a
deficit of over fifteen dollars.
" Where there is a will, there is a
way," is true in carrying on a church

school especially when the whole
church are united in working for the
younger ones, and in the belief of the
" testimony of Jesus." May the time
soon come when all the remnant

not only on the book-shelf, but as the
motive and guiding principle of
daily life—when Christian education
in its completeness will be our business; and our daily toil will merely be
to pay expenses. Then will we be
ready to step out of time into eternity.

MEDICAL
MISSIONARY
THE NEW ENGLAND SANITARIUM.
HARDLY a week passes but that we
are encouraged by letters from former
patients breathing their gratitude to our
institution and its God-given principles
for the health which they have received. It might not be out of place
to quote a few lines from a letter just
received from a gentleman in Jamaica who spent several months with
us last year. He was in a most deplorable condition. His health was
gone, his hopes were blighted, his
faith and confidence in God were
shattered, because he felt that he was
never again going to enjoy health and
the opportunity for work, which he
had lost. Although he was greatly
benefited before leaving the institution, the clouds had not entirely cleared
away. In his recent letter, however,
which was written on a matter of business, he says in closing, " I thank
God, I am quite well again. I have
now and then a funny day, but that is

think, would have accomplished, and

during my stay with you. I can never
forget the kindness of all of those I
met at the sanitarium, and should I
ever come over to your country again,
I shall certainly look up the place that
has done so much good for me."
We are certainly thankful for the
privilege of helping to undo the heavy
burdens and to let the oppressed go
free, and see new light and courage
break in upon those who sit in the
darkness of despair. How many discouraged souls there are who have
been shipwrecked by disease who
need our help. This is the work the
Lord has called our sanitariums to do.
But our sanitarium lacks many facilities. We need better equipment, we
need better accommodations, we are
constantly turning away many who
would be benefited by the institution
if we could provide for them suitably.
I believe, without question, we have
a greater opportunity here than the
Lord has ever before given us in one
place for this kind of work. Hundreds
could as well be enjoying the beautiful lawns and the shade and the surrounding park and other God-given
facilities as a few. We even have
material at hand with which to build,
but only a few thousand dollars are
still needed with which to greatly increase our accommodations. Please
read again the article by Elder Place
in the GLEANER of April 20, 1904, and
see if you do not feel a disposition to
help give this work a lift.

A NOBLE WORK.

As ONE reads the reports of the
canvassing work that have appeared
in the columns of the GLEANER, he
can but be delighted. He feels thus
from the fact that the homes of the
people are being visited by living representatives of the truth, and thousands who have never before heard,
are listening to the glorious truths
which are especially applicable in
these last days.
Take the report as it appears in the
issue of July 6. It shows a total of
one hundred and seventeen days of
eight hours each spent by the book
evangelists in visiting the homes of
the people. Could all these workers
meet in a social meeting, and each
one relate his experience, we should
hear how people listened with marked
attention to the canvass, how that in
some instances attention ripened into
profound interest which resulted in an
order, how, as seeds of truth lodged in
hearts, emotions were awakened and
tears flowed, and some earnestly
thanked and praised the Lord for a
new-found truth born of Heaven and
fraught with the Holy Spirit's power.
Some at first seemed indifferent,
but as truth after truth was presented,
the conduct changed, and as the order
was given, the individual said, " Really,
I think I shall enjoy the reading of
that book, I am glad you called."
The canvasser leaves such homes
thankful that he has a part in such a
noble, soul-saving work. It pis very
different in some homes, the people
seem not only indifferent, but perfectly
oblivious to the truth's claims, and are
even impolite to the soul-winner. He
leaves, inclined to be sad and crestfallen. Such should not be the case.
If he has been a true worker and presented the truth faithfully, he has done

his duty and must leave the result v‘ith
Him who sees the end from the beginning.
Many are called, but few,
chosen. It is our duty to do the calling, but the Lord will do the choosing.
The report shows three hundred
and twenty-nine orders taken. If only
three hundred of them are delivered,
and each book contains ten sermons,
and there are but few of even our
smaller books but that contain more
than this number, three thousand sermons are delivered to the people, and
that too in a single week. Surely our
canvassers are evangelists preaching
thousands upon thousands of sermons
through the printed page.
We have well-equipped publishing

houses, ready to produce books by the
thousands. The books could be sold
readily and rapidly if only we had
more book evangelists. The sales are
remarkably large considering the few
workers we have in the field. The
people by the thousands are ready to
purchase if only we had the sellers.
In some countries every tenth man
is a soldier. If one-tenth of our men
could and would enlist in the book
work, thousands upon thousands of
our precious books could soon be
placed in the hands of truth-loving
people, and a people prepared for the
dawn of eternity's morning. Reader,
can you not aid in this work ?

guidance are numerous in the experiences of our canvassers. An example of it occurred the past week
when one of the oldest canvassers in

Pennsylvania was working some of
the small villages and intervening
houses along the Allegheny River a
few miles from Pittsburg.
He had canvassed several houses
without apparent results, and was

was some distance away, when his attention was arrested by a shout of
" M-i-s-t-e-r," and turning, he found
that the shout emanated from a very
earnest edition of a small boy who
was running after him, and when near
enough, breathlessly asked, " Are you
the man that has books to sell ?"
Upon being assured that he was, he
said, " Won't you please come up to
our house and sell one to my mamma ?
I don't know for sure whether she will
buy one or not, but I think she will."
Being asked where his house was, he
pointed to the top of the high hill
which skirts the river at That point,
and said, " There is a path up through
the woods, and I will go with you and
show you the way." It was raining
at the time, and this particular hill
was one of the variety which is a good
deal farther up than it is down, and
the prospect of a climb up a steep,
muddy path, through the wet bushes,
was not very alluring, but he felt impressed to go, and the little fellow
was so earnest about it that he went
with him, and was rewarded by an order for a full morocco " Patriarchs
and Prophets." Another noteworthy
feature of this case is that I myself
had canvassed this same territory a
few years ago, but had never even
learned of the existence of this house,
and so had passed it by. But the
Lord has a care for every honest soul,
and used this little child to direct the
steps of the messenger of truth to this
home, and the result may be another
family in the kingdom of God.
The next day this same canvasser
was passing a house where he had
called three times before without
gaining admittance, and decided to
try again. This time he not only
gained admittance but took an order
for the large book. His orders for
that day amounted to about fifteen
dollars. Thus Jeremiah 16:16 is being fulfilled, and the Lord's " hunters "
and " fishers " are doing their appointed work.

VIRGINIA CAMP-MEETING.

Reduced Rates.

By the Atlantic Union Conference
Of Seventh-day Adventists
South Lancaster, Mass.

Subscription Price, Fifty Cents a Year,
EDITOR,
JENNIE THAYER
Entered at South Lancaster, Mass., as second-class matter

AN interesting letter from Sister
Bessie Mooney was received too late
for this number. She earnestly requests the prayers of her friends, as
she finds herself in a perilous situation.
Pray that God may especially protect her.

IN a letter to the printing office, Elder F. C. Gilbert wrote from Caribou,
Maine, July 11: "We opened our
meetings yesterday, and it was very
encouraging. We had at least four
hundred in the afternoon ; and very
nearly a thousand people last night.
The teams were stretched out along
by the side of the tent, and many
were standing on the outside. The
outlook is encouraging, and we hope
that the Lord will give us power to
present the truth, and souls who will
accept it."
FROM our exchanges we learn of

several changes in the teaching force
of the denomination. Brother H. A.
Washburn is the newly elected president of Emmanuel Missionary College,
at Berrien Springs, Mich., and Brother
A. W. Hallock will take the principalship of Bethel Academy, Bethel, Wis.
Brother W. E. Howell is president of
Healdsburg College, a n d Brother
C. C. Lewis, of Union College. Colorado, is establishing a school at Palisade, to be known as the Western
Slope Industrial Academy, with
Brother B. E. Nicola as principal.
Brother J. W. Loughhead will be
principal of the school at Takoma
Park, D. C.

'TIE best rates that we can secure
to this meeting this year are as follows : Reduced rates on the certificate
plan have been secured from all points
in the State, including Washington,
D. C., over the following roads :
Southern Rail w a y, Washington
Southern, R. F. & P., Farmville and
Powhatan, Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line, Chesapeake & Ohio.
Tickets must be purchased on the following dates ; namely, August 2-6 inclusive, and will be good to return
August 17. Certificates must be
taken for each ticket showing that full
first-class fare has been paid, which
when properly signed at the meeting,
will entitle the holder to return at onethird fare, plus twenty-five cents.
Tickets must be bought to either
Riverton or Basic, where connection
is made on the Norfolk and Western
for Stanleyton, the place of meeting.
The Norfolk and Western will sell
round-trip tickets from Norfolk, Petersburg, Ford, Burkville, Lynchburg,
Bedford City, Roanoke, Buena Vista,
Basic, Shenandoah Junction, Charlestown, Berryville, Riverton, and all intermediate points between Berryville
and Basic without certificates, good
going August 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, and
14, good to return August 16. Unless fifty holding certificates attend
the meeting, no reduction will be made
returning. Let each church make a
united effort to attend the camp,
bringing your families and friends
with you as the Testimonies instruct,
and we shall not only secure the rates
to the meeting, but receive a great
blessing from the Lord. Our business
will not suffer at home if we leave it.
The Lord will take care of that, and
we shall all come out better in the
end. Let us walk out by faith and
prove him now. The Chesapeake
and Ohio will sell tickets on the card
order plan also, but it will be best to
buy tickets taking certificates, so as to

help make t h e required number.
Bring all checks to the camp-ground
or hand them to one of the brethren
at the station at Stanleyton. The
camp is one mile from the ground,
and one of the brethren will take passengers and baggage at reduced rates
from the station to the grounds.
If everything is not fully understood,
write to Dr. A. M. Neff, New Market,
Virginia, and he will gladly send all
Tents
information possible at once.
and furnishings should be ordered at
once, if not already done, so that none
may be disappointed when they arrive.
Trusting to see many of our people
at the meeting, we remain
Yours for Christ,
R. D. HOTTEL.
