Camp Meeting Rates.
OUR brethren are no doubt anx’ois in reference
to rates for the Camp-meeting. We have been doing
all we possibly could to get the matter settled. Ex-
perience teaches us that such business in some cases
moves slowly. However, the Northern Pacific,
Great Northern, and ‘Soo’ lines have granted the
usual one and one-third rate on the certificate plan.
The Western Passenger Ass'n. hasalsogranted us
the usual rate of one and one-third fare over their
To get the henetit of the reduction vou
must purchase vour tickets not earlier than I'ri-
day, May 28th, nor later than Thursday, June
3rd.
The first three lines named have instructed their
agents to sell tickets and issue a certificate of pur-
chase any day after the 21st of May, thus making
the rates available to those wishing to attend the
Workers’ Meeting. Ask your agent for a ticket to
Minneapolis, and state to him that you expect to at-
tend the Seventh-day Adventist Camp-meeting. He
will charge you full fare and give you a certificate of
purchase. If two tickets are purchased over two
lines of road, take certificate or receipt of each agent.
Be sure to bring this certificate with you and hand it
to Eld. D. P. Curtis as soon as possible after coming
on the Camp-ground. He will sign it and return it to
you, and when so signed it will entitle you to the
privilege of purchasing a ticket for the home journey
at one-third the regular fare. This instruction for
the purchase of tickets will hold good over all the
lines that have, or may grant us rates.
“Camp-meeting agents will be placed in the dif-
ferent depots in Minneapolis the first two days of the
Workers’ Meeting and the day preceding and the
first day of the regular meeting, May 31 and June 1,

who will give you the necessary instruction in refer-
ence to reaching the ground. If, however, you
should miss the agent, take an Interurban street
car and get off at Merriam Park. This brings you in
plain sight of the Camp. C. W. Fraiz.

Please keep the WORKER on the main line to the
Tougan Islands as long as it is published, whatever
the price of the subscription. It is a real feast for
us to get hold of itin this isolated field. We are
glad to hear that the work is progressing in the
State. And I am especially glad to hear that the
work is onward in Osakis, but sorry to hear that our
dear Bro. Hill has had such a hard time of it physi-
cally. I trust that he has recovered long before this.

I believe the message will soon go with power to the
unbelieving world. All that is needed now is for
God’s people to get into the right position, where
the Lord can work through them,
Our little school is increasing some, both in in-
terest and in numbers. We have sixteen scholars at
present. ‘The tuition for the month of March
amounted to $42.50. This is the highest that it has
been any month yet. It varies from $25 to $40 per
month. We are beginning to take scholars into our
home to live with us all of the time. The parents
are very anxious that we should, and by so doing we
avoid the counteracting influence in the home. I
suppose that the parents do the best that they know
how to do in their homes for their children, but they
seem to have a poor idea of how children should be
treated.
I have visited one or two other villages of late,
and I enjoyed my ride through the cocoanut woods,
but when I reached the villages I found but few
people, and I could see quite a contrast between them
and those that live in this village. I found the sick
and suffering there as well as elsewhere. I am glad,
indeed, that the misery of this world is soon to give
place to a better state of things. I think that there
must be but a very little difference between the na-
"tives of Tonga and those that you found in Central
America. This coming week they are to have what
they call ‘great times” here. Wednesday is the
King’s coronation day. But instead of having one
