NEW YORK CAMP-MEETING.

By George B. Thompson

The annual camp-meeting of the New York Conference will be held at Lyons, August 30 to September 10. Lyons is situated midway between Syracuse and Rochester, on the New York Central, West Shore, and Fall Brook railroads, all of which are two-cent roads. The grounds being accessible from all parts of the State, we expect to see a large number of our people present. Plan now to be there. A good company of canvassers have begun operations in the city and surrounding country, under the direction of the State agent, selling “Ladies Guide,” “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation,” “Patriarchs and Prophets,” “Coming King,” etc.

The meeting will be held on the fair ground, which is conveniently near to the city. It is expected that Elder M. C. Wilcox, editor of the Signs of the Times; Elder I. H. Evans, president of the Foreign Mission Board; Elder H. W. Cottrell, District superintendent; Elder Allen Moon, president of I. R. L. A.; and Professor Griggs, of South Lancaster Academy, will be present, and perhaps others, besides a number of our Conference laborers. And, best of all, Jesus and the holy angels will be with us to anoint us with the power of the Holy Spirit.

The annual sessions of the Conference and tract society will be held in connection with the meeting, and all delegates should plan to be present at the very first meeting. For further particulars see the Indicator. We hope all will fully appreciate the importance of attending this gathering of the remnant of Israel, and will not allow any ordinary thing to keep them at home. Bring the children. See Joel 2:13-16. Probation's hours are fast being numbered, the nations are angry, and Jesus is at the door. Come, and let us seek the Lord together.
