INTERNATIONAL BIBLE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION CONVENTION

CELORON, NEAR JAMESTOWN, N.Y.—JULY 30—AUGUST 7

WE ANTICIPATE a large attendance at this Convention, and advise friends intending to be present to send at once to us for reservations at the rate of $9, $11, or $14 each, for food, shelter and electric car or steamboat service to and from Celoron Auditorium. The $9 rate is usually for four in a room. Where a room is occupied by but two the rate will be not less than $11 each. Those paying in advance for the full nine days will naturally have the preference over those making a shorter stay. Remit to us at once. For less than the nine days the rate will be a little higher, $1.25 to $1.50 per day inclusive. The higher prices represent choicer accommodations, with only one or two in a room. The cheaper terms represent generally four in a room. Hotel accommodations at Jamestown will be scarce at any price. We have adopted the plan of making all the arrangements, believing it will be to the comfort and advantage of those in attendance, who will be considered as the Society’s guests. Following will be found a table of rates showing cost of railway transportation which, from some points, is very reasonable.

Write to us at Brooklyn what accommodations you desire, and for how many, enclosing money order or draft for the same. We will immediately forward to you a memorandum with full description of the cottage, room, etc., apportioned to you, so that, on your arrival, you can proceed forthwith to your lodging place and find it ready and waiting for you. Along with this receipt and order we will send you programme for the Convention and a map showing the Lake, etc., and such further particulars as may seem necessary for your guidance.

On the list following, the cities marked * have regular Summer Excursion rates. These tickets should be purchased to Jamestown, N.Y. Other quotations noted are for the “Chautauqua Excursion,” July 29. If you come from the West continue in the electric car to Celoron, paying an additional fare. If you come from Eastern points via Jamestown, get off at that place or at Celoron, about five miles westward, and do not go on to Chautauqua. Chautauqua tickets needing endorsement will be attended to by our Committee at Celoron.

It appears that there is no very special rate granted from Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Savannah, Jacksonville, etc. We believe that friends in those parts will do well to purchase their tickets to New York City via Penna. R.R.—on the customary “ten-or-more-to-the-party” plan, or on New York excursion plan—whichever is the cheaper. Then in New York they can easily transfer by the Subway to the Erie R.R. station and there secure the very favorable terms mentioned in our list as the rate from New York (July 29) to Jamestown and return ($11.75).

The “party-of-ten-or-more” rate is always available on all railroads. One ticket is sold for an entire party at an excursion rate. This is known as a theatrical rate. Friends in various parts of Northern Pennsylvania, not far from the Erie R.R. lines, will find it to their advantage to buy their tickets to some point on the Erie R.R. From points on the Erie R.R. there are special excursion rates to Chautauqua on July 29.

SPECIAL TRAIN FROM NEW YORK CITY

A special daylight train has been arranged for friends of New York City and vicinity, Friday, July 29, leaving via 23rd Street Erie Ferry at 7:40 a.m., Chambers Street Erie Ferry at 8 a.m. From Brooklyn take the Penn. R.R. Annex Ferry (at the foot of Fulton Street) at 7:15 a.m. for Jersey City. From the Pennsylvania Railroad Station in Jersey City take the Hudson Terminal Subway for the Erie Railroad Station.

The train starts from Erie Railroad Station in Jersey City, N.J., at 8:15 a.m., arriving in Jamestown at 7 p.m.

All who desire to be accommodated on this train, or would care to join the party from intermediate points between Jersey City and Jamestown, should at once communicate with the Celoron Convention Committee, 17 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, N.Y.

CHICAGO SPECIAL TRAIN WITH SLEEPERS

On Friday, July 29, at 6 p.m., a special train over the Erie R.R. will leave the depot, corner Dearborn and Polk Streets, Chicago, due to arrive at Celoron 7 a.m., July 30. The train will be composed of day coaches and Standard and Tourist sleeping cars. A berth in the Tourist Sleeper will cost $1.25; in the Standard Sleeper, $2.50. Two moderate-sized persons could occupy a lower berth comfortably.

Friends from beyond Chicago desiring to join this Excursion Train should at once notify Brother Dr. Jones, 3003 Walnut Street, Chicago, so that sufficient car space may be secured early, and should see to it that their tickets from Chicago read via the Erie Ry. Such as desire sleeping car accommodations should enclose the money at the above-mentioned rates.

OTHER SPECIAL TRAINS

There will probably also be special trains from points mentioned below, and inquiries should be made at once of those whose addresses are given:—Pittsburg, Pa., N. S., Dr. W. E. Spill, 1002 Cedar Ave. East St. Louis, Ill., Horace E. Hollister, Box 54. St. Paul, Minn., Charles L. Dick, 515 Charles Street. Cincinnati, Ohio, Horace K. Blinn, 228 E. 4th St. Cleveland, Ohio, W.

Sears, 3038 North Darien St.

MAKING MELODY IN YOUR HEARTS

All who have learned the New Song of Moses and the Lamb are earnestly invited to come to this Convention, “Singing and making melody in their hearts unto the Lord.” Thankful for the blessings already received from the hand of the Lord, let us come together glad to communicate to others of that grace which we have so freely received of our Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ—our Advocate. Let us leave the world behind and enjoy a season of spiritual fellowship and refreshment—in considering the “things freely given to us of God,” and the “things which God hath in reservation for them that love him, which eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart of man.” Whoever thus comes is sure to receive a blessing, as well as sure to dispense one.

Decide promptly what you believe will be to your advantage and the Lord’s will concerning you in respect to attending this Convention. If you decide to come, secure accommodations through us promptly; for the outlook is that otherwise there will be confusion and trouble for both you and us.
