NEW YORK CAMP-MEETING.

By B. L. Whitney

The present prospect is that there will be a good attendance at the Western camp-meeting. Twenty-five tents are already ordered with many localities yet to hear from. We judge from present appearances that we shall have a larger number of tents on the ground than at any previous meeting held in the State.

Again we say to the brethren in western N. Y. and Pa., we hope you will make a special effort to attend this meeting. You will probably never have a more favorable opportunity, and we believe those who do not come will miss a great blessing which they might gain by coming.

We hope also that those living in the central part of the State in the localities mentioned by Bro. Carright last week will come, as it will be more convenient for them to reach this meeting than the one in the fall.

Our brethren ought to appreciate the fact that the cars land passengers and baggage on the ground, thus saving the expense, tiresomeness, and perplexity of transferring baggage two or three miles by teams, after leaving the R. R. An experience of this kind for several years will, I believe, help us to appreciate a change; and we hope all will avail themselves of the advantages to be enjoyed this year.

All mail should be directed to Aurora, Erie Co., N. Y., and marked, Filmore Park, which will insure its being delivered on the camp-ground. Ask for tickets for Filmore Park. To the brethren who will come by the Erie R. R. we say we will do all we can to secure a reduction on that road. We think that without doubt a reduction can be obtained from any station where twenty-five or more tickets are sold.

Should any decide to come at a late date, let them not hesitate to do so because they have not ordered tents, as we shall probably be prepared to furnish room for such. Be sure to be on the ground and have all preparations made Wednesday.
