PUBLIC MINISTRIES OF THE TRUTH
UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE
WATCH TOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY.
—————
THESE SERVICES ARE WITHOUT CHARGE, AND NO
COLLECTIONS ARE TAKEN UP. THE FRIENDS AT EACH
PLACE GENERALLY PROVIDE THE MEETING
PLACES AND ARE PLEASED TO ENTERTAIN THE
LORD'S SERVANTS (AND NOTHING
UNUSUAL OR ELABORATE IS EXPECTED).
—————
OUR GENERAL CONVENTION.
Buffalo was suggested some time ago, as the probable
place for this general gathering: it was supposed
that special excursion rates would be granted on account
of the Pan-American Exposition. However,
the railroad rates seem to have been increased rather
than reduced. For this reason Cleveland, Ohio, has
been selected instead, at such time as to take advantage
of the special rate of one cent a mile granted to
the "G.A.R. Encampment" in September.
Our Convention will open Thursday, Sept. 12, at
3 p.m., and close Sunday evening, Sept. 15. Particulars
later.
