Minnesota Camp-Meeting.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

We expect this will be the most important meeting we have ever held in the State. Many things of deep interest to the cause must come up to be acted upon. We specially request that every S. B. treasurer and church clerk come, and bring their books and records with them. Do not fail to do this. If you cannot possibly come, send your books by someone else. We are determined to have a general straightening up of these matters in Minnesota. We ask and expect these officers to help us. Now is the time to do this.

The Tract and Missionary Society has just been organized in this State. Only a few have been able to attend these meetings. Something further must be done at the camp-meeting. There we shall have books to be distributed to the members so that the work can immediately begin.

Then we hope to have stirring, spiritual meetings, just such as we all need, and the labors of the leaders in the cause. Scattered ones should make special efforts to attend. The trouble is, those who need these meetings most, generally feel the least interest in them, and the greatest interest in home affairs. They can't think of leaving their work. The cares of this world are choking them. Come, friends, let us see you at the annual feast. Provisions for men and teams can be had on the grounds at cost.
