Appointments.

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

Illinois Camp-Meeting.

No providence preventing, this meeting will be held Sept. 28 to Oct. 4, 1876, on the Methodist camp-ground, situated midway between Waldron and Kankakee, Ill.

Those coming from the north or north-west, by rail, will take Illinois Central cars at Chicago, for Kankakee. Friends in Western and Southern Illinois are requested to come to their nearest point on the “Chicago Branch” of the Illinois Central R. R., and come north to Kankakee. Teams will be in waiting for passengers from northern and southern-bound trains, at K. Ample provisions will be made for both man and beast.

Let all who can, come with tents to take care of themselves; but 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, on Wednesday, Sept. 27. All be on time. Bro. and Sr. White, and Bro. Carright are expected. Let none excuse themselves and stay at home, who can possibly attend.

Camp-Meeting Committee.

Illinois State Conference.

The next annual session of the Illinois State Conference will be held on the camp-ground, near Waldron, Sept. 27, 1876, at 4 P. M.

It is especially requested that every delegate be on the ground in time to attend the first session of the Conference. Let all our churches at once take the steps necessary to represent themselves fully at this meeting. Churches that wish to join the Conference should present their requests at this time. Let every church be represented by delegate if possible, if not, by letter.

We request the officers of our several churches to immediately attend to re-organizing 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 the unpaid S. B. for the present year, and not wait until the session of Conference before sending in this balance now due.
