Western Camp-Meetings.

By James White

We shall probably be deprived the pleasure of attending the western camp-meetings, at least the earliest of them. For want of suitable help in Battle Creek, we have been compelled to do two men's work since our return from Missouri last fall. And for the same reason, and being much worn, we cannot leave important duties here, and expose ourselves to the wearing labors thrown upon us at camp-meetings. No, we will wait here till God and his people open the way for us to labor abroad.

Much has been said upon the subject of urging responsible, active men to move to Battle Creek, to share our many cares and labors. But the men to sacrifice in order for this have not yet been found. Still we wait.

We regret to make further changes of appointments of camp-meetings; but having abandoned the idea of attending them this season, we throw off all responsibility relative to them, only to arrange timely appointments as best we can. JAMES WHITE.
