Maine Camp-Meeting

Appointments.

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Maine Camp-Meeting.

This meeting will be held at Richmond, Aug. 31 to Sept. 5, 1876, on the same ground on which it was held last year.

Half-fare has been granted us on the Maine Central railroad. Those coming by rail will stop at Richmond; also those coming on the boat, and teams will be ready to take passengers to the ground at a reasonable price. Ample provisions will be made for both man and beast. Let all who can, come with tents to take care of themselves, and let those who cannot bring tents bring bedding, and tent room will be furnished them. All tents should be erected, and things set in order, the day before the meeting; therefore all should be on time.

Let none excuse themselves and stay at home who can possibly attend.

The next annual session of the Maine State Conference will be held on the camp-ground, in Richmond, Aug. 30, 1876, at 4 P. M.

We request the officers of our several churches to immediately attend to reorganizing S. B., that the proper pledges may be made for the coming year. Also that the S. B. treasurers immediately collect and forward to the State treasurer the balance of unpaid S.

Meetings to commence with the Sabbath. The nearest station to the Victor church is Ladora, on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific R. R.

This meeting is put off a little later than the regular time to secure a large attendance and the presence of some who could not otherwise be present. We want this to be an important meeting, where we can plan for future labors during the fall and winter. We want as full an attendance of the officers of the T. & M. Society as possible, that we may consult together for the advancement of the T. & M. work. The tent season will then be over, and points for future labor will be considered. All the districts should have their reports in the hands of the State secretary in season for him to make out his report.

Come, brethren, let us go to this meeting determined to enter into the work anew, and secure a general advance throughout the Conference. Geo. I. Butler.

The Lord willing, I will meet with the church at Powder Mills, Hart Co., Ky., Tuesday, Aug. 29, to organize a T. & M. Society in this Conference; and at the Elizabethtown church on Thursday, Aug. 31. Brethren, it is very desirable that every member of the church should be present. I hope to see all at the places named. J. S. Milton, Director.
