1907—GENERAL CONVENTIONS—1907
INDIANAPOLIS, IND., JUNE 14-17
RAILROAD RATES
We have secured a rate of two cents per mile within the
territory of Central Passenger Association, embracing all railroads
west of Buffalo, Pittsburg and Wheeling, in Ohio, Indiana,
Lower Michigan and a considerable portion of Illinois.
Excursion tickets should be asked for the "Watch Tower Convention,
Indianapolis." These tickets will require to be signed
at Indianapolis before using on return passage, and will be
sold on June 13th and 14th, and be good for return journey to
leave Indianapolis not later than June 18th, and return ticket
must be signed in the presence of the Agent. (However, in a
considerable portion of this territory, the two cent a mile rate
already prevails without a special excursion ticket.)
The Western Association has declined to make any special
concession; friends from that territory must do the best they
can in the matter of purchasing tickets. Remember the "mileage"
plan; or, where a number are in one party, the "theatrical rate."
The Eastern Trunk Lines Association, governing New
York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, New
Jersey, and Maryland Railroads, will grant us a special rate,
on a signature ticket, of two cents a mile each way, provided
we can furnish at once the names and addresses of those desirous
of attending. Friends within this territory desirous of
attending the Indianapolis Convention will say so at once; a
postal card will do. On receipt of it we will procure a special
order for a ticket and mail it to you.

1907—GENERAL CONVENTIONS—1907

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y., AUG. 30-SEPT. 5
NORFOLK, VA., SEPT. 29-OCT. 6
—————
The design of these General Conventions is spiritual refreshment
by mutual upbuilding along spiritual lines. "The
fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above." Those who
have never enjoyed these "feasts" know not what they are
missing. So say we all! Assuredly the Lord will make up
the loss to those not permitted to join us; but when it is reasonably
our privilege we do well not to forget these assemblies
of ourselves.—`Heb. 10:25`.
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.
BAPTISM SERVICE can be had at any of the General Conventions
always.
PLEASE REMEMBER to practise the hymns mentioned in
our June 1 issue.
