Michigan Camp-Meeting.

THE great Michigan State Camp-meeting will be held at Charlotte, Mich., September 13-19. The ground has been improved and enlarged since last year, and is every way commodious, and truly beautiful.

Elders Andrews, Littlejohn, Waggoner, and other speakers, may be expected, which will greatly increase the interest of the meeting from last year.

There will be two large tents upon the ground in which to lodge our friends who are scattered, and are not able to get up a tent alone. All are recommended to furnish themselves with tents, if possible.

There will be a boarding and provision stand for those who come not fully provided with provisions, where food can be obtained at a reasonable price. All should bring with them a sufficient amount of bedclothing, as the committee propose to furnish only a shelter, and straw.

There were fifty neat and commodious tents on the ground last year. This was doing well. But we expect to see one hundred the present year. We recommend that all who can come on Tuesday, the 12th, do so, and have their tents up, ready to assist the camp-meeting committee in their arduous duties. This will also be more convenient for the Peninsular R. R. Company than for all to come on Wednesday.

And, remember, let every tent be up as early as Wednesday, and let no tent be taken down until Tuesday of the following week. And let all come with a mind to seek the Lord. Brethren and sisters, bring your children and neighbors with you, and be prepared to work for them, and with them, in seeking salvation.

And do not forget the wants of the cause. We expect to receive pledges on the Charlotte camp-ground for not less than three thousand dollars for the new Office building; and also as large a sum for the Health Reform Institute.
