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. 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. If it is consistent with the health of Bro. and sister White they will be present at these meetings. 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

Providence permitting, this Conference will be held in connection with the Camp-meeting at Lodi, Columbia Co., Wis., commencing Tuesday evening, June 18, and continuing till the morning of the 24th. We do hope all will try to be on the ground at the commencement of the meeting and stay till it is closed. Bring all your interested friends with you. We hope all the churches will represent themselves by delegate or by letter, each giving the number of its members, and the amount of Systematic Benevolence that they wish to pledge to the Conference the coming year.

I. Sanborn, } 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-meetings as given 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. 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.
