Indiana Camp-meeting.

By S. H. Lane

It is decided to hold the camp-meeting at Kokomo, on the same ground occupied last year. Aug. 14-19 is the time appointed. Although this is some weeks in the future, it is now time our brethren were preparing to attend.

Each church should have upon the ground one or more tents, besides a number of family tents. Now is the time to secure them. Should you desire to purchase them of a tent-maker, address Wm. Armstrong, 282 South Water St., Chicago, Ill.; or should you wish to make your own, obtain the material and construct them after directions given in past numbers of the REVIEW. If desired, Bro. J. M. Rees, of Kokomo, Ind., will furnish, at a low figure, materials for tents, and also a rule by which they can be made.

In the past some have depended upon an opportunity to rent tents from brethren in Michigan. They cannot do so this year, as the Michigan camp-meeting is immediately after ours, and there will not be time for the transit of the tents. Renting tents is poor economy, as enough is soon paid out to purchase one.

Let each s. b. treasurer, as far as possible, see that all s. b. is paid up and forwarded to the State treasurer immediately after the State quarterly meeting in July, or paid up to camp-meeting and delivered on the camp-ground. This is necessary, as there are quite a number of laborers to settle with. Also let each district in the T. and M. work see that means are raised to pay off their indebtedness; if all do this we can pay off the State debt. And it can be easily accomplished if all do their duty. Let each one commence now to prepare for the camp-meeting. S. H. LANE, Pres.
