Camp-Meetings in Iowa and Illinois
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Camp-Meetings in Iowa and Illinois.
Providence permitting, the Iowa Camp-meeting will be held two miles north of Knoxville, Marion Co., Iowa, June 6–11.
The Illinois Camp-meeting at Aledo, Mercer Co., Ill., June 13–18. Since the General Camp-meeting is taken up, it gives opportunity to appoint the Iowa meeting one week later, which will much better accommodate the brethren, owing to the lateness of the season. The President of the Illinois Conference will give more particulars next week. If it is consistent with the health of Bro. and sister White they will be present at these meetings.
GEN. CONF. COM. The Iowa State Conference will hold its next annual session in connection with the Iowa Camp-meeting to be held near Knoxville, Iowa, June 6–11. Let all the churches take the steps necessary at once to represent themselves fully at this meeting. Churches that wish to join the Conference should present their requests at this time. Let all the ministers, licentiates, and delegates, come prepared to make the various reports which the constitution of the Conference requires. Let every church in the State represent itself by delegates, if possible; otherwise, by letter. GEO. I. BUTLER, } Iowa

J. T. MITCHELL, } Com. Tent-Meetings in Missouri and Kansas.
With an earnest desire to help forward the cause in this large Conference, where the brethren are so scattered that it is almost impossible to have a general gathering of our people, we have concluded to take up the appointment of Camp-meeting as given out last week, and appoint three tent-meetings, as follows:—
Civil Bend, Daviess Co., Mo., May 17–19.
Avilla, Mo., May 24–26.
Where Bro. Lawrence may appoint in Kansas, May 31 to June 2. We hope by holding three days' meetings in these different places to accommodate a large portion of the Sabbath-keepers in this Conference, and to have the privilege of seeing most of them at these appointments. We hope it may be consistent with the health of Bro. and sister White to be present at these meetings, not, however, to take the burden of them, but to be encouraged by the presence and interest of the friends in the glorious truths of the message. We expect a general rally at these meetings of those who love the truth.
GEN. CONF. COM. N. Y. and Pa. Tract Society.
The New York and Pennsylvania Conference Tract Society will hold their first general quarterly tract and missionary meeting at Adam's Center, Jefferson Co., N. Y., May 18 and 19. A report from each director is expected to be sent to the secretary, Harmon Lindsay, Olcott, N. Y., as soon as the 15th of May, that the working of the Society throughout the Conference may be known, and its wants considered at this meeting. Let each district be represented as far as practicable, as this will be a meeting of interest. Bro. and sister White are cordially invited to attend if able. If not, will not Bro. Haskell meet with us?
J. M. LINDSAY.
Pres. of T. and M. Society of Penn. and N. Y. Conf. Monthly meeting for the Allegheny county church will be held at the county line school house, Catt. County, N. Y., first Sabbath and first-day, May fourth and fifth. Will Bro. W. W. Stebbins and Bro. E. B. Saunders attend? A general attendance of brethren and sisters is expected.
L. G. KING. I design to meet with the friends of the cause at Bell Creek, Burt Co. Neb., May 4 and 5.
Decatur, Neb., Tuesday evening, May 7.
Onawa, Iowa, Thursday evening, May 9.
Soldier Valley, Iowa, May 11 and 12.
Washington, Iowa, May 18, 1872.
At these meetings delegates to Conference should be appointed. Bro. Bartlett, we trust, will be with us.
R. M. KILGORE. Quarterly meeting of the brethren in Chesaning, Saginaw Co., Mich., May 11 and 12. Cannot Bro. Van Horn and Bro. Strong meet with us, as the ordinance of baptism is desired? If they can come, will they please inform me soon.
D. W. MILK. Monthly meeting of the Seventh-day Adventists of Cattaraugus Co., N. Y., at East Otto, the third Sabbath and first-day in May.
B. B. WARREN. Quarterly meeting for Calhoun Co. will be held at Convis on the first Sabbath and first day in May. The cause seems to demand some ministerial help at this meeting. A general attendance of the brethren is expected.
By order of the church,
JOHN SISLEY, Clerk. We will try to provide the help that is called for.
MICH. CONF. COM. Quarterly meeting for the church at Greenbush, Clinton Co., Mich., at the Colony school-house at Duplain, Sabbath, and first-day, May 11, 12, 1872. Brethren from other churches are invited. Preaching is expected.

One at Sigourney, May 4, 5; the other at Washington, May 11 and 12. This will give all a chance to attend one of these meetings. Meetings will commence Friday evening.
H. NICOLA. The first quarterly meeting of the S. D. A. church at Nashville, Barton Co., Mo., Sabbath and first-day, May 18 and 19, 1872. The brethren from Arvilla and elsewhere are invited to meet with us.
JOSEPH G. WOOD. Greenwood Prairie, Minn., May 11 and 12. I make this appointment on the recommendation of the Minnesota Conference Committee. It may not be thought best to have another meeting before camp-meeting, but rather go immediately into new fields; hence all should attend this one.
D. M. CANRIGHT. Quarterly meeting of the Seventh-day Adventist church at North Liberty, Ind., at North Liberty, May 11 and 12. We invite all to attend.
