ILLINOIS, READ THIS!

By G. W. Colcord

1. We want a very full attendance of the S. D. Adventists of Illinois, at the forthcoming camp-meeting at Waldron.

2. Why should we not see one tent, or more, from each organized church in the Conference? We can rent several in Chicago at $4.00 per tent. Order without delay. Order of the writer. Or you can make a tent of the following dimensions: 14x20 ft.; 4 ft. wall; steep roof. Put a strip of oilcloth over the ridge pole. Make the tent of heaviest sheeting. Try it and come.

3. We want a financial report, a church report, and a delegate with credentials from every church in the Conference.

4. We desire each church to re-arrange its S. S. tables for the new year beginning Oct. 1, 1876, and let as much as possible of the old pledge be paid to the State treasurer, J. R. Whitham, Aledo, Mercer Co., Ill., ten days before the meeting.

5. We want the best camp-meeting ever held in Illinois.

6. To this end, let the foregoing be duly considered by all concerned. G. W. Colcord.
