Camp-meetings.

By James White

Had we known that we were to have warm and pleasant weather so early, bringing us beautiful spring so soon, we should have commenced camp-meetings as early as the 19th of May. But not being able to know this, and fearing that the season would be as late as last year, we have evidently lost three weeks of camp-meeting season. And this is not all. The meetings already appointed for Minnesota and Wisconsin we fear will come this year in the early part of haying.

We would say to our people in Wisconsin, that if July 20-25 would suit them better, we will, Providence permitting, meet with them then. But if in their judgment it would be better to let the appointment remain, it will suit our convenience quite as well.

We would also suggest, that the New York camp-meeting be held the first of August, to be immediately followed by camp-meetings in Massachusetts and Vermont, so as to close up meetings for the season in Ohio and Michigan in the month of September. We hope to hear from camp-meeting committees in season to arrange time of meetings.

Bro. Ertzenberger will probably be under the instruction of Bro. Andrews at Rochester while we are in the West. He will attend the eastern camp-meetings with us, and immediately return to Europe.
