Vermont Camp-Meeting.

By Lewis Bean; H. N. Austin; H. W. Barrows

AFTER a careful examination of all the openings worthy of attention, the Camp-meeting Committee decide that the best place for our meeting this year is at Richmond, Va., near the village, about one mile from Richmond station, on the same ground that we occupied a year ago. The urgent request to have the meeting there by the new friends of the cause where tent labors were bestowed last year, was especially what led to this decision.

We earnestly desire the labors of Bro. and sister White, and Bro. Geo. I. Butler, and we trust not to be disappointed. We invite our brethren from all parts of our Conference, and those from other Conferences, who can do so, to attend this meeting.

An effort will be made to have passengers coming by rail-way returned free, as in the past. Bring tents. We should have not less than thirty tents besides the large tent. Every family that is able, should have one to accommodate themselves and as many of their friends as they can induce to come to the meeting. Yet none should stay away because they cannot bring a tent, for such can have a place in the large tent. Come with your bedding, prepared to take care of yourselves. There will be a provision stand on the ground.

Brethren, come to this “feast of tabernacles” prepared to work for the Lord. Let us begin now to prepare our hearts to seek God. Our meeting will be held Aug. 14-19, according to appointment of General Conference Committee.
