Save Time.

By MICH. CONF. COMMITTEE.

With as little confusion, and little delay as possible, we want to get into effectual working order at our camp-meeting. Two things will help greatly toward this result.

First, let each church, where they can, choose their tent-master or tent-masters in advance, and let these come on beforehand with the tents and pitch them, ready for the main company to take possession of as soon as they reach the ground.

Secondly, and more than all else, let every one by meditation, prayer, deep searching of heart, a consideration of our position and work, and the wants of the cause, drink anew into the spirit of the message, and so get into working order before he comes. Much time and hard labor are usually expended in the first part of the meeting to bring the church up into condition to labor. But if all, or a majority even, could come to the meeting, already in this condition, labor from the first could be devoted to others.

To those who receive this paper in season, we suggest that Sabbath, Aug. 31, be made a special day of seeking the Lord in preparation for the coming camp-meeting.
