General Camp-Meeting.

By George I. Butler; S. N. Haskell; Ira Abbey

NEW ARRANGEMENTS.

It is thought after mature reflection that it is best to postpone the General Camp-meeting appointed in the last Review for June 6-11 three months. The matter has caused us great perplexity. As there were important measures to come before this meeting in regard to an Educational Institution and other matters requiring careful thought and the best gifts in the field to plan and arrange, and as Bro. and sister White are not in a proper condition of health to take hold and lead out in this most important matter as they have in others which have come before our people, and other leading ministers are also similarly situated, and our people, on account of the very late season and the hurry of farm work, could not generally attend and are not as well prepared to enter into this new and important enterprise as they will be after wheat harvest, we have therefore come to the above conclusion.

We all know the importance of such meetings going off with spirit and of our leading ministers being in a condition to inspire life and interest in others. But few realize the worn condition of Bro. and sister White at this time. We expect to see them come up to health and strength as they leave the cares here in Battle Creek. Then they will be able to help in such important matters as will necessarily come before a general meeting.

May God grant them this blessing speedily.
