STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES
PUBLIC MINISTRIES OF THE TRUTH
UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE
WATCH TOWER BIBLE & TRACT SOCIETY
—————
GENERAL CONVENTIONS, 1906
ST. PAUL, MINN., AUGUST 13-19
The object of these General Conventions is increasingly
intended to be: rest, spiritual refreshment and general building
up of the interested friends, rather than great efforts to
reach the public. Regular sessions will be held afternoon and
evening, leaving the mornings for private conferences, social
fellowship and special sessions in connection with the Colporteur
work, which will receive particular attention. Baptism
services will be held during the week.
All railroads have granted a rate of one cent a mile on account
of the G.A.R. Encampment at Minneapolis. Ask for
"G.A.R. Excursion Ticket" to Minneapolis, although it will
not be necessary to go to that city to fulfil conditions of the
ticket. Display a WATCH TOWER at railway station for purpose
of identification.
ACCOMMODATIONS—Board and lodgings can be procured
for $1, $1.25, $1.50, $2, and upward to $5 per day.
Write at once if you wish us to procure accommodations,
stating briefly and pointedly what kind, number of persons,
sex and color, and if married couples wish to room together.
Do not expect any alteration of your party's location after
writing. If others join it later they will be accommodated in
the order of notification. If you write to us for accommodations,
do not subsequently arrange otherwise, else it will confuse
our engagements. Address all letters to "Bible Students'
Convention, Box 96, St. Paul, Minn."
GET READY PROPERLY
Prepare your heart for a blessing. Come to the Convention
in the proper spirit—as a disciple, a learner. Come intent
also on doing good as well as getting good, of consoling and
encouraging others, as well as to be yourself comforted.
Above all, come realizing that the Lord himself is the fountain
of blessings, and remembering his word—not by might, nor by
power, but by the Lord's Spirit are we to expect the blessings
we hope for. In making ready and en route do not forget this
important item, for on it your share of the Convention's blessings
greatly depends.
