VINCENNES (IND.) CAMP-MEETING CALLED OFF.
By R. S. Donnell
After making the change in the camp-meeting appointments in the Review of last week, it was ascertained that shaded grounds accessible to the city could not be had at Vincennes, on which to hold the meeting. This was a great disappointment to us, and we were at a loss to know what to do. The appointment had been published, both in the Review and in our State paper, the Reporter. At first we felt that the meeting must be held at Vincennes, no matter what should come; but when we came to look the place over, we found that grounds near the city, or anywhere on the street-car line, that were at all accessible, or had shade, could not be had before August 16. On account of other meetings in the district, we did not see how the time could well be changed, and so we have decided to hold the meeting at another place. Before the appointments were made, several persons suggested that the southern Indiana meeting be held at Sullivan again this year. A camp-meeting was held there by our people three years ago, but I am informed that the interest was not developed; and now, as we can not get around at Vincennes, it would seem best to hold another meeting at Sullivan, and then continue the labor for those interested, and perhaps a good church can be raised up at that place. We have, therefore, decided to change the southern Indiana camp-meeting from Vincennes to Sullivan, to be held on the same dates—July 19-20,—perhaps continuing longer if the interest should demand. The meeting will be held on the same grounds as was the one three years ago. There will be plenty of shade, and the grounds are in good condition. We bespeak a good attendance from all our churches and companies in the vicinity of Sullivan. In fact, we hope there will be a general rally of all our people in the southern part of the State. We also extend a hearty invitation to the brethren in Illinois, who are in reach of this place, to come and enjoy the meeting with us. The cause is one. Come and let us see the Lord together. Tents can be had on the grounds at reasonable rates.
