Vermont Camp-Meeting.

No providence preventing, this meeting will be held at Essex Junction, Vt., Aug. 19–24, about one-half mile from the depot. Free return tickets will be given on the ground to those who come on any of the roads controlled by the “Vermont Central.” Half fare has also been obtained on the Passumpsic and South-eastern roads. We hope to see a general gathering of our people. Come yourselves and bring others with you. We confidently expect to see Bro. and sister White and Bro. Smith at this meeting. Provision will be made for those that come with teams; also a boarding tent for the benefit of all. Committee.

The New England Camp-Meeting.

This meeting will be held on the old ground near South Lancaster, Mass., Aug. 26–31. As this is the only annual meeting of the kind held in this Conference, and many of our brethren have had but little or no preaching during the past year, and as at this meeting we shall have the labors of Bro. and sister White, we shall expect a general rally of the friends of the cause. Commence at once to make preparations to attend, and bring your unconverted friends and neighbors. This meeting will doubtless be one of unusual interest. Let this week be devoted to seeking God in a special manner.

Maine Camp-Meeting.

No providence preventing, this meeting will be held Sept. 2–7, 1875, at Richmond, Sagadahoc Co., Maine, 1¾ miles from the depot, 1¼ from the steamboat wharf, on the main road up the Kennebec River leading to Gardiner, on land owned by Wm. Grant, in a pleasant oak grove. Bro. and sister White are cordially invited to attend.

All tents should be put up as soon as Wednesday, as the meeting is to commence Thursday morning. Ample provision will be made for this meeting.

We have obtained half fare on the Maine Central R. R. Committee.

N. Y. and Pa. Camp-Meeting.

This meeting will be held at Wright’s Grove, two and one-half miles north of the city of Rome, N. Y., and near the Black River Canal. A steamboat under the control of the Committee will transfer passengers and baggage from the depot to the grounds. The Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg R. R., and all roads under their control, will issue tickets at reduced fare, which, on being signed by the secretary of the Conference, will be good for return passage. Those coming over these roads should call for camp-meeting tickets in order to secure the reduction. An effort is being made to secure a reduction of fare on other roads. All trains on the N. Y. Central R. R. stop at Rome except one from the west and two from the east. The same provision will be made for the accommodation of those who attend the meeting as has been heretofore. It is expected that Bro. and Sr. White and Bro. Smith will attend, and that it will be a meeting of unusual interest. Committee.
