Iowa Camp-Meeting.

The place selected by the camp-meeting committee for the Iowa Camp-Meeting this year, is the same as last, viz., two miles north of Knoxville, Marion Co., Iowa, on the farm of Mr. Garrison.

The reasons which caused them to select this place were:

1. It was desirable that it should be near enough to the new churches that have been raised up so that many of them could be induced to attend. Most of these new churches can attend at Knoxville without making any extra sacrifice.

2. No suitable ground could be got at Sigourney, the place where the meeting was spoken of being held at the last Conference.

3. The friends near Knoxville manifested an earnest desire to do what they could in bearing the burdens of the meeting. We earnestly desire that our brethren make a general rally at this meeting, and hope the old friends of the cause will not slack in their efforts because it is to be so far from the center of the State. And we feel that those who have recently come into the truth should make a special effort to be present, because it is appointed where it is to be within their reach.

The committee hereby extend to Bro. and sister White in behalf of our Conference, a hearty invitation to be present if consistent with health and with other duties.

We expect to have a good meeting if our friends come together with a full determination to seek God. And as the prospect for the coming season is that there will be less ministerial labor in the State than usual, our people should make a special effort to attend the camp-meeting,
