Vermont Camp-Meeting.

The Camp-meeting of S. D. Adventists of Vermont will be held at Wolcott, on the same ground occupied last year, Aug. 20–24, 1874. We hope to see the largest gathering of Sabbath-keepers at this meeting that ever met together in Vermont. Please read Bro. Butler's article on Eastern Camp-meetings in Review No. 5, last page, and remember that God will gather those that have made a covenant with him by sacrifice. Ps. 50:5. We expect to get free return tickets over the railroad and reduced fare on stage from Waterbury to Morrisville for those that come on Vt. Central. More particulars hereafter. In behalf of Camp-meeting Committee, L. Bean.

Vermont Conference.

The Vermont Conference will hold its next annual session in connection with the camp-meeting at Wolcott, Aug. 20–24. Let each church and body of Sabbath-keepers choose their delegates, and be in readiness and on the ground in season. The S. B. treasurers should see that the S. B. dues are collected up to July 1, 1874. L. Bean, For Executive Committee.

The T. & M. Society of Vermont will hold its annual meeting at Wolcott, in connection with the camp-meeting, Aug. 20–24, 1874, for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year. We request that the several directors hold a meeting in their respective districts to get in reports, so as to make returns to the secretary of the society as early as the 15th, that a full report may be had of what has been done during the year. L. Bean, Pres.

The New England Camp-Meeting.

This meeting will be held according to the appointment, Aug. 27–31. It will be upon the old ground near South Lancaster village. The cars on Thursday and Friday, except the evening train, are expected to stop at the ground. Those coming over the Boston, Clinton, and Fitchburg road will stop at Clinton which is about a mile and a half from the camp-ground. Considering the success that has thus far attended the western camp-meetings this year, the important advance steps that are being taken in this work, which will be considered at this meeting, and the presence of Bro. and sister White, we look for the most important meeting ever held in New England, and we expect a larger attendance than at any previous camp-meeting in this Conference. Especially do we invite all scattered members, who have not the privilege of weekly meetings with those of like precious faith, to attend this meeting. We have reached an important crisis in this work. There are many who are embracing the Sabbath by the efforts of the Tract Society. All such should be encouraged to attend the meeting. Unconverted children of Sabbath-keepers, your friends and neighbors who are favorably impressed with the truth, should be encouraged to attend. Then let the church come prepared to labor for their salvation.

Those wishing tents should order immediately, stating what size, and whether they wish to buy or to rent. Order of H. B. Stratton, 65 Dorchester Street, South Boston, Mass. Prices will probably range about the same as heretofore. H. B. Stratton, } N. E. Camp- J. C. Tucker, } Meeting S. Martin, } Committee.

The New England Conference

Will hold its next annual session in connection with the camp-meeting which is to be held at South Lancaster, commencing Aug. 27. Each church should see that its delegates are appointed and on the ground the first day of the meeting. Let the church officers of each church see that their reports are sent at once to the secretary, [M. Wood, Corner of K. and Emerson Streets, South Boston, Mass. Also let each S. B. treasurer see that the S. B. pledges are paid in each church as far as convenient, so that the money may be paid in to the Conference treasurer on, or before, the time of the camp-meeting. S. N. Haskell, } N. E. H. B. Stratton, } Conf. A. W. Smith, } Com.

Maine Conference.

The Maine Conference will hold its next annual session in connection with the camp-meeting at Skowhegan, one mile above Pishon's Ferry, where it was held last year, commencing Sept. 3, 1874, and holding over the 7th.

Let all of our churches and companies where S. B. is organized send their delegates to this Conference, and let all see that their S. B. is paid up to the last quarter. Let the S. B. treasurers see that their quarterly reports are sent to the State Conference secretary, Timothy Bryant, North Jay, Me., in season, so that we may have a correct report of the financial standing of the Conference. We want to see a general gathering of the brethren and sisters on the old camp-ground this fall. Let no one stay at home that possibly can attend. J. B. Goodrich, } Maine. G. W. Barker, } Conf. Wm. Morton, } Com.

The Maine T. & M. Society will hold its next annual meeting on the camp-ground in Skowhegan, Sept. 3–7. Dist. No. 1 will hold its next quarterly meeting in connection with the annual meeting.

N. Y. Conference.

The N. Y. and Pa. Conference will hold its next annual session in connection with the camp-meeting at Kirkville, N. Y., Sept. 10–14, 1874. Systematic Benevolence should be rearranged and delegates appointed for the Conference in season so that they may all be on the ground the first day of the meeting.

There should be a special effort made to have each church in the Conference represented either by delegate or letter, as the Conference records will probably be revised and churches standing on the records and failing to report at this meeting may be dropped. We hope to see a general attendance at this meeting in accordance with the suggestions of Bro. Butler.

Let not home cares unnecessarily detain any. Make a sacrifice, if need be, to be present, and then expect to meet the Lord there. P. Z. Kinne, } N. Y. B. L. Whitney, } Conf. S. N. Walsworth, } Com.

The annual meeting of the N. Y. and Pa. T. & M. Society will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Kirkville, Sept. 10–14, 1874. P. Z. Kinne, Pres.
