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).
—————
THE CLEVELAND CONVENTION.
Our general Convention for the year is appointed
for Cleveland, Ohio, commencing Thursday, Sept. 12
at 2 p.m., closing Sunday night, Sept. 15.
Special railroad rates can be obtained;—on western
roads as low as 1 cent per mile—account "G.A.R.
Encampment;" but those using such tickets must
reach Cleveland some time before midnight of Sept.
12.
Special arrangements have been made by the
Cleveland friends for our comfortable entertainment
at one dollar per day, each, for food and lodging (one-half
what we had expected). And further, they kindly
offer free entertainment to such as cannot afford this
small price. Send us word, at once, if you decide to
attend, that arrangements may be made for your party.
The city will be crowded and accommodations
hard to find at the time. State married couples and
whether the others are males or females, for of course
separate rooms, etc., could not be had for each at the
price.
A VERY INTERESTING PROGRAM IS BEING ARRANGED.
We are looking for a large attendance from all
parts of the country and from Canada. However, we
are still more anxious for the Lord's spirit to be with
us than that the numbers should be large,—tho there
is an enthusiasm and inspiration in numbers also.
The general testimony is that each of these yearly
conventions out-does all of its predecessors. We
hope it may be so this time also. Why should it not
be so if, as the Lord's people, we are continually growing
in grace and knowledge and love? Come, seeking
to bestow as well as to receive a blessing. "He that
seeketh findeth." "To him that knocketh it shall be
opened." "Your heavenly Father is more willing to
give [increasingly] the holy spirit to them that ask
[seek] it, than are earthly parents to give food [earthly]
gifts unto their children."
FT. WAYNE, IND.—AUG. 25.
Morning session, specially for the interested, will
be a Convention Welcome and Rally, at 10:30 a.m.
Afternoon session, specially for the public, at 3 p.m.
In the evening at 7:30 the discourse will be specially
for the household of faith.
All meetings will be held in Knights of Columbus
Hall, Lau Block, cor. Calhoun and Washington
streets.
Friends from near-by places are cordially invited;
and all in introducing themselves are requested to
mention their home address, that we may the better
identify them. Come praying the Lord's blessing—
seeking to receive a blessing, and to be used as a
channel of blessing to others.
