The Camp-Meeting at Ceresco.

THE Committee report that the location for this meeting is all that could be desired. The spot is a beautiful grove, near the river bank, supplied with an abundance of water from a cool spring, for cooking and drinking purposes, and a brook for watering horses. Ceresco is a station on the Michigan Central Railroad, eight miles east of Battle Creek, and four west of Marshall. All the day mail trains stop, and the night mail stops when signaled, or for passengers who are ticketed to Ceresco.
By reference to the time-table, in another column, the hours of arrival can be determined, as it is about twenty minutes' ride from Battle Creek. The camp ground is only about one half a mile from the depot.
As there is no Adventist church at Ceresco, nor in the immediate vicinity, the brethren will see the necessity of coming prepared to care for themselves. Provisions, grain, hay, &c., will be furnished at reasonable rates. An abundance of straw will be provided for lodging purposes, but, as far as possible, all should bring tents, blankets, bed ticks, &c.
Space has been cleared in the grove sufficient for two large tents, and as many small ones as may be needed. In every respect the location is beautiful, and if the blessing of God can be with us, it may be rendered a happy place.
As will be noticed, by previous appointment, the meeting is to commence Wednesday, Aug. 25, and continue until Monday, the 30th. W. C. G.
