Camp-Meeting for New York and Pennsylvania Conference
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand Camp-Meeting for New York and Pennsylvania Conference.
After a careful examination of all the openings that seemed to be worthy of attention, the camp-meeting committee decide that the best place for our meeting this year is at Kirkville, Onondaga Co., N. Y., on the same ground that we occupied two years since. The New York Central Railroad Co. furnish better facilities for reaching Kirkville this year than heretofore. The time table for Kirkville will be given soon through the Review. We earnestly invite the labors of Bro. and sister White, and of such other help as may accompany them from the west, to preach to us the word of God. We will do what lies in our power to prevent burdens of other kinds from coming upon them, but we feel the need of their faithful testimonies, and we trust not to be disappointed. We invite our brethren from all parts of our conference to rally to this meeting. Our general meeting comes only once a year, and we cannot afford to lose the good which is in store for us. We invite every church to come, and also every company of believers in whatever place they may be situated. Come with your tents and your bedding, prepared to take care of yourselves. Those who come alone should bring bedding, so that they can sleep in the large tent, and thus care for themselves. There will be a provision stand upon the ground. We earnestly invite all our friends to prepare their hearts to seek God. Begin now by putting away all your idols, and by humbling your hearts before him. And remember that none should appear before God empty. Come prepared to do something in aid of every good work for which appeals may be made. Let us have a general rally to this feast of tabernacles. Our meeting will be held August 10–15. J. N. ANDREWS, } New York

The annual Conference for these States will convene at Kirkville, N. Y., one day in advance of the time fixed for the commencement of the camp-meeting, that we may as far as possible have our business out of the way before the meeting. Let all who have reports to make have them ready in season. In every church some one or more has a copy of our Conference minutes. Will each church please see that these are carefully examined in order to learn what business should be done preparatory to attending Conference, and also to see just how to do it? We invite every church to send delegates, and we earnestly invite the delegates to be present at the commencement of the Conference. Should it be that any church cannot send delegates, let them not fail to report by letter. Let us not do the work of God negligently. J. N. ANDREWS, } New York

This meeting will be held at Amherst, N. H., near Amherst Station, Aug. 24–29. Those coming by way of Concord and Manchester will change cars at the Concord depot in Nashua; those by way of the Worcester and Nashua road will change at the Worcester and Nashua depot, Nashua, for the East Wilton road. Those coming over the Vermont Central and Cheshire R. R., will change cars at Groton Junction for Nashua. Call for camp-meeting tickets at Boston, Worcester, and Providence. Ample provision will be made for man and beast. The extra expense for those coming from R. I. over last year will not exceed one dollar and twenty-five cents, therefore let none stay at home for fear of extra expense. We earnestly hope for a general attendance at this meeting. The first annual session of the New England Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will be held at Amherst, N. H., in connection with the camp-meeting Aug. 24–29. Let all the churches see that their Systematic Benevolence is paid up to July 1, 1871. All the blanks they may receive should be properly filled out and be returned before the time of the camp-meeting, except the blank for delegate, which the delegate from each church should bring with him. Let all unorganized companies be represented at this meeting by a delegate, to report their standing. S. N. HASKELL, } N. England
