Kansas Tent-Meeting

Appointments.

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Kansas Tent-Meeting.

In accordance with the suggestion of Bro. Lawrence the Kansas tent-meeting will be held in the vicinity of the Scouden School-house, on Deer Creek, half way between Big Springs and Clinton, fifteen miles west, and a little south, from the city of Lawrence, Kansas. This meeting will be held May 31 to June 2, 1872. Let all attend who can reasonably do so. Come prepared to take care of yourselves, and spend these three days in the service of God. Gen. Conf. Com.

Illinois Camp-Meeting.

This meeting will be held three miles north of Aledo, Mercer Co., Ill., in Sugar Grove, on the premises of Mr. Reed, May 31 to June 4. This place is easy of access, being situated on a branch of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad, between Galva and New Boston. Those coming from the east on the C. B. and Q. R. R. will change cars at Galva; those coming on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific R. R. will change at the junction west of Wyanett, and at Galva. Those coming from the north, can take the Western Union R. R. to Rock Island, thence the Rockford Rock Island and St. Louis road to Alpha, thence the C. B. and Q. R. R. to Aledo, or they can come down the Mississippi to New Boston, thence by R. R. eleven miles to Aledo. Those coming from the South on the Rockford, Rock Island and St. Louis R. R. will change at Alpha, or can come by the river to New Boston, thence to Aledo. There will be teams to carry all from the cars to the camp-ground. We are very anxious that the friends of the cause within the limits of the Conference attend. There will be a missionary and tract society organized for the Illinois Conference, at this meeting. Let there be a general rally from every part of the State. It will be a great pleasure to us to have all our brethren from Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, or elsewhere, that can meet with us do so. Let those that come bring tents. Every family if possible, should have one, especially brethren that are able should have them, to accommodate themselves with their families, and as many of their friends and neighbors as they can induce to come to the meeting. Bring empty bed-ticks to be filled with straw, and plenty of bedding. Let none stay away, however, because they cannot bring a tent, for provision will be made for such. Provisions, and feed for teams, will be furnished at reasonable rates on the ground. There will be a good assortment of our publications on hand. Come prepared to take bundles of light home with you in the form of books, pamphlets, and tracts, to scatter among your friends and neighbors when you return. Above all, come with “a broken and contrite heart” to seek God. In behalf of the Conference, we extend an urgent invitation to Bro. and sister White to favor us with their presence at this meeting, if at all consistent, as we need the benefit of their labors very much, being deprived of it in this Conference last year. Seth Newton, } Ill. John H. Bennet, } Conf. R. F. Andrews, } Com.

Illinois State Conference.

The second session of the Illinois State Conference will be held in connection with the Illinois Camp-meeting May 31 to June 4, near Aledo, Mercer County, Ill. We hope all the churches within the bounds of this Conference, will immediately take the necessary steps to be rightly represented at this meeting. (See address to the churches in Michigan on last page of Review, No. 19, present Vol.) Churches wishing admission to the Conference, should present their requests and send their delegates to this meeting. Let every church in the Conference be represented by delegates if possible, if not, by letter. Seth Newton, } Ill. John H. Bennet, } Conf. R. F. Andrews, } Com.

Camp-Meeting in Iowa.

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. Gen. Conf. Com.

Iowa State Conference.

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 H. Nicola, } Conf. J. T. Mitchell, } Com.

Wisconsin State Conference.

Providence permitting, this Conference will be held in connection with the Camp-meeting at Lodi, Columbia Co., Wis., commencing Wednesday evening, June 26, and continuing till the morning of July 1. 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. Bro. and sister White are earnestly invited to attend our Camp-meeting and Conference. P. S. Thurston, } Wis. Rufus Baker, } Conf. 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-meeting as given in No. 19, 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.
