Camp-meeting in the State of New York.
By John Nevins Andrews
A PORTION of the Camp-meeting Committee, viz., Brn. Lindsay, Abbey, Walsworth and Kinne, have just met for consultation relative to the place of the Camp-meeting in this State. After looking at the old ground near Kirkville, and also the ground used by the Methodists, near Manlius, the committee visited Oneida, and were so much impressed with the advantages of that place as to decide that our Camp-meeting this year shall be holden there. Oneida is an important station on the N. Y. Central R. R., at which all trains, except one, regularly stop. It is also the point at which the Midland R. R. crosses the Central. The ground selected is within one half mile of the Central depot, and is still nearer to that of the Midland. All supplies can be obtained in Oneida. The grove is small, but sufficient to fully shade the congregation. The circumstances seem to be very favorable, and the committee think this to be a providential opening for our meeting. As to the time, it is hoped that it may be held as early as the middle or last of August. We wish to respect the convenience of our brethren in other States, and also to secure the labors of Dr. and Sr. White. We cannot, then, at this time, more definitely fix the date of the meeting. Tents can be hired in Rochester at the following prices: Tents 24 ft. by 30, for $15.00; 16 by 24, for $8.00; 12 by 17 for $5.00; 9 by 12 for $2.50. Those hiring tents will have to pay the freight to and from the place of meeting. The churches in N. Y. and Pa. will please address J. M. Lindsay, Olcott, Niagara Co., N. Y., stating what sized tent they will have. This should be attended to immediately. J. N. ANDREWS.
