Camp-Meeting in the State of New York.

In accordance with the notice already given in the REVIEW, the Camp-meeting for the State of New York will be held near the village of Oneida, about 27 miles east of Syracuse. Oneida is situated at the crossing of the N. Y. Central and Midland railroads, and is very convenient of access, as almost every train stops at this station, and as the camp ground is within a half mile of the depot of either road. Provisions of every kind can be obtained in the village of Oneida. Every tent's company should have an army tent, as such tents are capable of fully sheltering their inmates from the heavy showers which are liable to occur. These tents can be hired at the following rates: Those 21 ft. by 30, for $15 00; 16 by 24, for $8 00; 12 by 17, for $5 00; 9 by 12, for $2 50. Those wishing to procure tents should immediately address J. M. Lindsay, Olcott, Niagara Co., N. Y.
To secure the labors of Bro. and Sr. White, we fix the time for the commencement of this meeting for Thursday evening, Aug. 4. It will continue probably till Thursday morning of the following week. We earnestly request those who attend to come prepared to remain till the meeting closes, even should the interest demand its continuance over the second Sabbath and first-day.
Some of this committee would have preferred to fix the time two or three weeks later, on account of having. But it is the unanimous decision that the meeting should be holden at such time as will enable us to have the assistance of Bro. and Sr. White. We do therefore believe that our friends will make an extra effort to overcome the disadvantages which may lie in the way of some of them, and that there will be a general attendance of all the churches in this Conference.
We extend a most earnest invitation to all our churches and scattered friends that they come up to the feast of tabernacles. Begin now to make preparations for the meeting, and remember that you need not only to arrange your business with reference to it, but also to seek God with diligent, persevering effort. Let there be a general rally, and let us so seek God's help that it shall be a memorable meeting in our Christian experience. CAMP MEETING COMMITTEE.
