OKLAHOMA CAMP MEETING
I have just finished reading Volume
six of the Testimonies and call to mind
a number of statements I found in it
relative to camp meeting and I feel
impressed to write the members of the
Oklahoma Conference through the col-
umns of the RECORD concerning camp
meeting. Several striking statements,
or at least they appealed to me, were
ag follows:
“It is important that the members of
our churches should attend our camp
meetings. Individually you
need the benefits of the meeting and
God calls upon you to number one in
the ranks of truth. Some will say, ‘It
is expensive to travel, and it would be
Page Five
better for us to save the money, and
give it for the advancement of the
work where it is so much needed.’ Do
not reason this way. God calls upon
you to take your place among the rank
and file of His people. Strengthen the
meeting all you possibly can by being
present with your family. . . . . .
Brethren and sisters, it would be far
better for you to let your business suf-
fer than neglect the opportunity of
hearing the message God has for you.
Make no excuse that will keep you from
gaining every spiritual advantage pos-
sible. You cannot afford to
lose one such privilege. . . . . If
the children of Israel needed the bene-
fits of these holy convocations in their
time, how much more do we need them
in these last days of peril and conflict!
. This is a time for every
one to come up to the help of the Lord,
to the help of the Lord against the
mighty.”’
Surely with these statements from
the Lord’s messenger, speaking to us
individually, we should brush aside
every excuse and allow nothing but an
utter impossibility to preventus from
attending the camp meeting that wiil
be held at Highland Park, Guthrie,
Oklahoma. With no conference session
we are able to follow more closely an-
other statement reading thus, ‘‘As far
as possible our camp meetings should
be wholly devoted to spiritual interest.
They should not be made an occasion
for transaction of business.” We are
doing everything possibie to make the
meeting a profitable one and with the
help given by the General and union
conferences, we hope that this meeting
with your presence and the presence of
the Lord, will be the best yet.
The tent prices will be the same as
last year, ranging from three dollars
to $8.50, depending on size and condition
of tent. Highland Park will not be as
shady as Mineral Wells Park but it has
- advantages that off-set the question of
shade.
Guthrie is accessible by good
roads from all directions. Work of
pitching the camp will start ten days
before the meeting begins and all will
be in readiness for the first meeting
Thursday night, August 16.
The preparation for and the holding
of this meeting will incur a heavy ex-
pense and hard work and comes only
once a year, so everyone should avail
themselves of the opportunity and reap
great benefits. Highland Park is situ-
ated in the northeast part of the city.
Remember the time and place, August
16—26, at Guthrie, Oklahoma.
