The New England Camp-Meeting
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.
The New England Camp-Meeting.
THIS meeting will be held according to the appointment, Aug. 27-31. It will be upon the old ground near South Lancaster village. The cars on Thursday and Friday, except the evening train, are expected to stop at the ground. Those coming over the Boston, Clinton, and Fitchburg road will stop at Clinton which is about a mile and a half from the camp-ground. Considering the success that has thus far attended the western camp-meetings this year, the important advance steps that are being taken in this work, which will be considered at this meeting, and the presence of Bro. and sister White, we look for the most important meeting ever held in New England, and we expect a larger attendance than at any previous camp-meeting in this Conference. Especially do we invite all scattered members, who have not the privilege of weekly meetings with those of like precious faith, to attend this meeting. We have reached an important crisis in this work. There are many who are embracing the Sabbath by the efforts of the Tract Society. All such should be encouraged to attend the meeting. Unconverted children of Sabbath-keepers, your friends and neighbors who are favorably impressed with the truth, should be encouraged to attend. Then let the church come prepared to labor for their salvation. Those wishing tents should order immediately, stating what size, and whether they wish to buy or to rent. Order of H. B. Stratton, 65 Dorchester Street, South Boston, Mass. Prices will probably range about the same as heretofore. H. B. Stratton, } N. E. Camp-Meeting

THE Maine Conference will hold its next annual session in connection with the camp-meeting at Skowhegan, one mile above Pishon's Ferry, where it was held last year, commencing Sept. 3, 1874, and holding over the 7th. Let all of our churches and companies where S. B. is organized send their delegates to this Conference, and let all see that their S. B. is paid up to the last quarter. Let the S. B. treasurers see that their quarterly reports are sent to the State Conference secretary, Timothy Bryant, North Jay, Me., in season, so that we may have a correct report of the financial standing of the Conference. We want to see a general gathering of the brethren and sisters on the old camp-ground this fall. Let no one stay at home that possibly can attend. J. B. Goodrich, } Maine.

Conference will hold its next annual session in connection with the camp-meeting at Kirkville, N. Y., Sept. 10-14, 1874. Systematic Benevolence should be re-arranged and delegates appointed for the Conference in season so that they may all be on the ground the first day of the meeting. There should be a special effort made to have each church in the Conference represented either by delegate or letter, as the Conference records will probably be revised and churches standing on the records and failing to report at this meeting may be dropped. We hope to see a general attendance at this meeting in accordance with the suggestions of Bro. Butler. Let not home cares unnecessarily detain any. Make a sacrifice, if need be, to be present, and then expect to meet the Lord there. P. Z. Kinne, } N. Y.
