The stock-holders of the Health Reform Institute will hold their seventh annual meeting at Battle Creek, Mich., in connection with the camp-meeting, Friday, Sept. 5, 1873, at 9 A. M., for the election of officers, and for the transaction of any other business that may come before the meeting. Stock-holders who cannot attend will please see that their stock is represented by proxy; neglect of this may defeat the object of the meeting. JAMES WHITE, IRA ABBEY, WILLIAM INGS, HARMON LINDSAY, E. B. GASKILL, M. S. MERRIAM, C. W. COMINGS, Directors. This meeting will be held Sept. 25-29, at Pontiac, Livingston Co., Ill. Pontiac is the county seat, and is situated on the Chicago, Alton, and St. Louis, and Fairbury and Streator, Railroads. Those coming by rail from the north-western part of the State should come to Ottawa, on the C., R. I., and P. R. R., thence to Streator and Pontiac. Those from the West, South, and East, will pass through Bloomington and Chenoa, thence to Pontiac. To say that we are anxious that there should be a general attendance does not express our mind. We are intensely desirous to see a general assembling from all parts of the State, and we can see no good reason why we may not. Come in time to be all ready at the commencement of the meeting, and prepared to stay till it is entirely over. It will be necessary to bring a good supply of bed-clothes, as the nights may be cool. Straw will be furnished free, and there will be opportunity to get provisions at reasonable rates. Bring your unconverted children, friends, and neighbors, with you, and come to labor for your and their salvation. You will sustain a great loss if you suffer worldly interests to keep you away. Remember, the day of God's wrath is drawing “near, and hasteth greatly,” and if you are wise you will avail yourselves of all the means within your reach, that you may be prepared to stand. Bro. Butler is expected. For the Com., R. F. ANDREWS. Illinois T. & M. Society Meeting.

Thus, twenty members, or less, will entitle you to one delegate; thirty-five members, to two delegates; fifty members, to three, &c.
