In Battle Creek.

By James White

ON receiving Review No. 8, I was disappointed to see that the extended Camp-meeting notice sent to the Review by the General Conference Committee, had not been received in time for that paper. I immediately wrote another notice, which is given in this paper, and mailed it for the office. I also sent a telegram postponing the meeting to Sept. 1–7. Fearing still that there might be some failure in the matter of appointment, we have come across the country eighty miles by private carriage, and have just arrived in season to see that all is right before the last side of the Review goes to press. I here learn that the two notices, mailed at the same place, but one week apart, both reached the office last evening, Aug. 15th.

It being important that the brethren should have all the particulars as to tents, &c., in season to make ample preparations, the time of the meeting is changed to Sept. 1–7. This will give our brethren in the State more time to prepare for seeding, which can be done in season after the meeting. I shall have a tent of my own upon the ground, and I am gratified to know that our people in many places are taking hold of the matter in a spirited manner. Let there be a general rally from all parts of the field.

Our post office address till after Camp-meeting, will be Berlin, Ottawa Co., Mich. JAMES WHITE.
