Western Camp-Meetings.

By George I. Butler

We have not yet learned where each camp-meeting will be held in the different Conferences, but we think the time should be stated so that if there is any special local reason why there should be any change, there will be time enough to accomplish it without confusion. We therefore give the time and order of these meetings as follows:

Missouri and Kansas, May 28 to June 2, 1874. Iowa, " June 4-9. Illinois, " 11-16. Wisconsin, " 18-23. Minnesota, at Medford, " 25-30.

We have found by experience that the best arrangement we can make is to have camp-meetings commence Thursday and close Tuesday.

The above arrangement is the best that occurs to us at the present time. If there are any special and important reasons why a change should be made, let the president of such a Conference write immediately to me concerning this matter. But unless there are weighty reasons, we hope there will be no change made. The place where these meetings should be held should be communicated at once to the editor of the Review. Thus far, only the place of the Minnesota Camp-meeting is known. This will be held at Medford as usual. The time and place of each ought to be known at least six weeks previous to the time of holding them, that all may have sufficient notice.

GEO. I. BUTLER, Pres. Gen. Conf. Battle Creek, Mich., April 1, 1874.
