Illinois Camp-Meeting

Appointments.

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Illinois Camp-Meeting.

This meeting will be held three miles north of Aledo, Mercer Co., Ill., in Sugar Grove, on the premises of Mr. Reed, May 31 to June 4.

This place is easy of access, being situated on a branch of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad, between Galva and New Boston. Those coming from the east on the C. B. and Q. R. R. will change cars at Galva; those coming on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific R. R. will change at the junction west of Wyanett, and at Galva. Those coming from the north, can take the Western Union R. R. to Rock Island, then the Rockford Rock Island and St. Louis road to Alpha, thence the C. B. and Q. R. R. to Aledo, or they can come down the Mississippi to New Boston, thence by R. R. eleven miles to Aledo. Those coming from the South on the Rockford, Rock Island and St. Louis R. R. will change at Alpha, or can come by the river to New Boston, thence to Aledo. There will be teams to carry all from the cars to the camp-ground.

We are very anxious that the friends of the cause within the limits of the Conference attend. There will be a missionary and tract society organized for the Illinois Conference, at this meeting. Let there be a general rally from every part of the State.

It will be a great pleasure to us to have all our brethren from Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, or elsewhere, that can meet with us do so.

Let those that come bring tents. Every family if possible, should have one, especially brethren that are able should have them, to accommodate themselves with their families, and as many of their friends and neighbors as they can induce to come to the meeting. Bring empty bed-ticks to be filled with straw, and plenty of bedding. Let none stay away, however, because they cannot bring a tent, for provision will be made for such.

Provisions, and feed for teams, will be furnished at reasonable rates on the ground. There will be a good assortment of our publications on hand. Come prepared to take bundles of light home with you in the form of books, pamphlets, and tracts, to scatter among your friends and neighbors when you return. But above all, come with “a broken and contrite heart” to seek God.

In behalf of the Conference, we extend an urgent invitation to Bro. and sister White to favor us with their presence at this meeting, if at all consistent, as we need the benefit of their labors very much, being deprived of it in this Conference last year.

Illinois State Conference.

The second session of the Illinois State Conference, will be held in connection with the Illinois Camp-meeting May 31 to June 4, near Aledo, Mercer County, Ill.

We hope all the churches within the bounds of this Conference, will immediately take the necessary steps to be rightly represented at this meeting. (See address to the churches in Michigan on last page of REVIEW, No. 19, present Vol.) Churches wishing admission to the Conference, should present their requests and send their delegates to this meeting. Let every church in the Conference be represented by delegates if possible, if not, by letter.

Seth Newton, Ill. John H. Bennet, Conf. R. F. Andrews, Com.

Camp-Meeting in Iowa.

PROVIDENCE permitting, the Iowa Camp-meeting will be held two miles north of Knoxville, Marion Co., Iowa, June 6-11.

Since the General Camp-meeting is taken up, it gives opportunity to appoint the Iowa meeting one week later, which will much better accommodate the brethren, owing to the lateness of the season. If it is consistent with the health of Bro. and sister White they will be present at these meetings.

Gen. Conf. Com.
