Camp-Meeting and Missionary Notices
By Editor
Los Angeles Camp-meeting, May 8-18. Special car will leave Oakland, May 6. We find that we were mistaken in saying that Idaho is missionary ground; it is connected with the Upper Columbia Conference. We had forgotten it. We are receiving orders for the pamphlet, "Honor Due to God," and these we expect will be filled before this paper reaches its readers. The early camp-meetings ought to be well supplied. Are the churches supplied with the tract, Justification by Faith? We trust our ministers will see that these works are well circulated. In answer to inquiry, we say we think it is evident that in Eld. Haskell's recent article on the "Pacific Coast Council," where it reads "District of Columbia," it should be "British Columbia." We did not see it until it was printed, and the printers and proof readers reversed the old order and took the deed for the will and followed copy. But we think the reader can see the intention of the copyist, from the connection. The Banner of Light says: "William Alcot, Jr., son of Rev. William Alcot, of Swift River, Mass., was killed by the bursting of a large grindstone March 13, 1884. The family, although crushed under this sudden bereavement, yet feel that he still lives, and that they will meet him again." Killed, but still lives! Will the Banner give us a definition of the word kill? Our dictionaries do not help us in such a dilemma. They do not license such a use of language.
