The Ohio Camp-Meeting.

By H. A. St. John

THIS meeting will be held near the city of Norwalk, Huron Co., O., Aug. 10-14. We have taken some pains, and spent considerable time, in looking for a suitable place for this important meeting. We trust the Lord has directed, and that such a place is secured at last. Norwalk is a city of about six thousand inhabitants, and on the line of the Lake Shore & Mich. Southern R. R. The camp-ground is about one mile from the depot, on the farm of Mr. S. Rogers. We think it a very fine location, dry, and well shaded. Besides, the water privileges could hardly be better, there being an abundance of good water right on the ground for man and beast, and also for baptism. Many citizens are interested in the meeting, and we expect their liberality will very much lighten the expense to our Conference, in fitting the ground, and sustaining the meeting.

As this is not the final notice of the meeting, I will only add that I feel a deep interest in this annual convocation. I want my brethren to begin now to get ready to go. We want to see a larger turnout than ever before on a like occasion in Ohio. Why not? Our time to work grows shorter, and our message waxes louder and still louder. Don't be afraid of a little money for tents. More tents, more family tents, “To your tents, O Israel!”

H. A. St. John.
