STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES
PUBLIC MINISTRIES OF THE TRUTH
UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE
WATCH TOWER BIBLE & TRACT SOCIETY
—————
NORFOLK GENERAL CONVENTION
SEPT. 29-OCT. 6
The Convention will be held in the Armory Hall, City
Hall Av.
Very special excursion rates by rail and steamers prevail
on account of the "Jamestown Ter-Centennial." This will
have a large attendance from the North-East as well as from
the South generally. We will surely have a grand blessing
if we come together praying, hungering and thirsting for it.
Many exaggerated rumors are afloat re exorbitant rates,
and for a time we purposed a change of location. However,
we have assurances now, from friends there, that clean lodgings
can be had at from 50c to $1 per night, comfortable
meals at 25 cents each person and upward—coffee, 5c;
sandwiches, 5c. No one should calculate on less expense
than $1.50 per day.
Notify our "Convention Dept." the number of your
party, sex, color and price of lodging desired.
Those requesting accommodations through our "Convention
Dept." may positively depend upon our securing them,
but they will not be notified until they arrive at Convention.
Do not make changes of any kind after notifying us, lest
confusion be occasioned to all concerned.
PITTSBURG A STARTING CENTER
The friends from Pittsburg, Allegheny and vicinity who
purpose attending the Norfolk, Va., Convention propose to
leave Pittsburg at 8 a.m. Friday, Sept. 27th, via the Pennsylvania
R.R. to Washington City. Remaining over night
they will take the daylight steamer for Norfolk, Va., due to
arrive at 7 p.m. Some from Cleveland, Chicago, and other
western and northern points, it is expected, will purchase their
tickets via Pittsburg and the Pennsylvania R.R., etc., and increase
the party in size and in pleasure. If a sufficient number join
the party a fine special train is promised. The Washington
City friends propose to join this party on the boat to Norfolk.
Nothing but fellowship is gained by going together, but that
counts for much amongst the Truth people. Advise us at
once if you expect to join this party, that we may know how
many cars to provide. The excursion rate from Pittsburg by
this route is $13.25 for the round trip.
CHICAGO A STARTING CENTER
Brother Jones requests us to make the following statement:
"For the information of the friends in the west and
middle west, arrangements are being made by the Chicago
class for one or more special cars for this Convention. The
Wabash Railroad will furnish a ticket going via Detroit,
Niagara Falls and New York, by boat or rail, returning via
Washington, at $30.70. They also have several other attractive
routes, and also a more direct route via Pittsburg; 1st
class ticket, $22.25 round trip, and $17 for round trip ticket
good in coaches only. Information regarding these will be
cheerfully furnished on application to the Wabash office at
109 Adams St., Chicago. Those wishing to go with the Chicago
class should write at once to Dr. L. W. Jones, 2024
Washington Boul., Chicago."
