And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand ** Services in Chicago, every Sabbath (seventh day), at 269 West Erie St. All Sabbath-keepers spending a Sabbath in Chicago are invited to attend. Missouri and Kansas Camp-Meeting.
THIS meeting is to be at Lee’s Summit, Jackson Co., Mo., May 28 to June 2. The grounds are situated about one mile N. E. of the depot in Mr. Smart’s grove. This is central in our Conference and of easy access; on the Mo. Pacific R. R., some twenty miles S. E. from Kansas City; it also affords favorable opportunity for our young churches to attend which were brought out during the past season. Let all come prepared to take care of themselves, with necessary bedding, tents, &c. Those who cannot provide themselves better, heavy muslin cut in strips 12 yds. long, sewed together, makes cheap tents, and the cloth can be used for other purposes afterward. The Committee will see to it that the grounds are fitted up and prepared. Straw for bedding will be furnished free. Provision and horse feed will be furnished on the ground, at the most reasonable prices. Now, brethren and sisters, prepare to come and bring your children and friends with you. Come prepared to seek God, and advance the interest of his cause. It may be the only chance many of you will have to hear preaching and meet with our people, for a considerable time, and our best speakers are expected. We here extend a hearty invitation to Bro. and sister White to meet with us in our camp-meeting. In behalf of the Committee,
J. H. ROGERS. Missouri and Kansas Conference.
The fifth annual session of the Missouri and Kansas Conference of S. D. Adventists will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Lee’s Summit, Mo., May 28 to June 2, 1874. Let all the churches in our Conference see to it at once and have their reports and delegates ready in due time, so all will be represented. It is very desirable that delegates from all the churches attend, if they can possibly do so. While it is true that we need means in this large, but weak, Conference, it is also true we need men as workers, to co-operate, to counsel, and to do all we can to push forward this most important work. Please read again Bro. White’s article, “The Cause Is Onward,” in REVIEW, No. 19. I know some will plead poverty, pressure of the times, &c., but we need not look for the rich nor men of this world to go forward in giving the last merciful message of warning to mankind.
J. H. ROGERS, Pres. Mo. & Kan. Conf. A MEETING of S. D. Adventists will be held at the school-house in Solomon Rapids, Mitchell Co., Kansas, five miles west of Belois on the Cawker road, commencing Friday evening, May 22, and continuing over Sabbath and Sunday. A general rally of all the scattered brethren in the adjoining counties is earnestly requested, as we want to adopt some means of obtaining ministerial labor in this part of the field, and also of being properly represented at our Conference. Come with a determination to work for the Lord, praying that his blessing may rest upon us.
