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 place of meeting for those who observe the seventh day, in Grand Rapids, Mich., is at the residence of H. C. Winslow, No. 407 Fountain Street. An interested community are cordially invited. Second Michigan Camp-Meeting.
The Camp-meeting at Flint will be held on the Whittlesey farm, south-east of the fair ground, one and one-half miles from the depot. We cannot arrange with the F. & P. M. R. R. for half fare, but think they will sell return tickets at reduced rates. Those coming on that road will ask for return tickets. On the C. & L. H. R. R. they will return passengers free. Wm. Potter, for Com. This meeting will be held at Fairfax Station, Marin Co., Cal., Sept. 23–30. A general attendance of the brethren and sisters of the State is desired at this, our annual meeting. Come, and bring your friends. Bro. and sister White are expected to attend. Reduced rates have been secured on ferry and railroad lines. Committee. The California Conference.
The fourth annual session of the California Conference will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Fairfax Station, Sept. 23–30. We hope to see a full representation by delegates from every company of Sabbath-keepers in the State. Churches that have completed their organization since the last Conference was held, should come prepared to unite with the Conference. J. N. Loughborough, Cal. Conf. Com.; John Judson; J. W. Bond. N. Y. and Pa. Camp-Meeting.
This meeting will be held September 9–14, 1875, at Wright’s Grove, two and one-half miles north of the city of Rome, N. Y., and near the Black River Canal. A steamboat, controlled by the Committee, will transfer passengers and baggage from the depot to the grounds. The Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg R. R., and all roads under their control, will issue tickets at reduced fare, which, on being signed by the secretary of the Conference, will be good for return passage. Those coming over these roads should call for camp-meeting tickets in order to secure the reduction. An effort is being made to secure a reduction of fare on other roads. All trains on the N. Y. Central R. R. stop at Rome except one from the west and two from the east. The same provision will be made for the accommodation of those who attend the meeting as has been heretofore. It is expected that Elds. Canright and Smith will attend, and that it will be a meeting of much interest. Committee. Quarterly meeting of the Wis. T. & M. Society of Dist.
