Illinois Camp-Meeting.

THE Illinois State Camp-meeting will be held at Clinton, De Witt Co., Ill., commencing Wednesday evening, Aug. 22, and closing Tuesday morning, Aug. 28. This place, being a junction for the Illinois Central, Indianapolis, Bloomington, and Western; and the Gilman, Clinton, and Springfield railway lines, will be very easy of access from every part of the State. If we receive sufficient encouragement to warrant, we expect to run excursion cars from Freeport and Gilman, and return; thus saving more than one-half the regular fare. As usual, ample provision for the comfort of all will be made. We hope to see a general rally of all our churches in Illinois; we also hope that our sister churches in Southern Wisconsin will send us a good delegation to this feast of tabernacles.

Come, friends, lay aside worldly cares for a season, and labor for the Lord. Surely, you can afford to give him one week out of the year.

Illinois State Conference.

THE seventh annual meeting of the Illinois State Conference will be held in connection with the camp-meeting, Aug. 22–28, for the election of officers, and to transact any other business that may come before the meeting. Every church in the Conference, and every unorganized body of believers, should be represented at this meeting by one delegate or more, if possible; and where this is not practicable, they should send forward a letter in season, stating their numbers, condition, and wants. CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.

Illinois T. and M. Society.

THE annual State T. and M. Society meeting will be held on the camp-ground, Aug. 22–28. This branch of our work will receive particular attention. COMMITTEE.

Maine Camp-Meeting.

THE Maine Camp-meeting for 1877 will be held at Richmond, Aug. 29 to Sept. 4, on the ground occupied last year. Half-fare will be granted on the Maine Central R. R. and its branches. We hope to see a general gathering of our people this year. Let no one who can possibly attend stay at home. Let all the tents be in order on Tuesday, so that we can have things in readiness to commence the meeting on Wednesday. And let all come prepared to stay until its close. We earnestly request all of our scattered brethren and sisters to attend this meeting. CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.

Maine State Conference.

THE eleventh annual meeting of the Maine State Conference will be held on the camp-ground at Richmond, Aug. 29 to Sept. 4, 1877. Let all our churches and scattered Sabbath-keepers immediately take the necessary steps to fully represent themselves at this meeting. We request all the delegates to be present on Wednesday, so as to attend the first session of the Conference.

Ohio Camp-Meeting.

THE Ohio Conference of S. D. Adventists will hold its ninth annual camp-meeting on the fair-ground at Newark, Licking Co., Ohio, Aug. 10–20, 1877. The Baltimore and Ohio, and Pan Handle railroads run near the ground, and trains will stop for the accommodation of passengers. They have promised us a reduction of fare, but definite arrangements will be made and announced hereafter. Ample provision will be made for man and beast. We desire that all the tents be pitched on Thursday, the day before the meeting begins. The situation is a fine one, and we confidently expect the largest meeting of the kind ever held in Ohio. Efficient and experienced speakers will be in attendance. H. A. ST. JOHN.

Indiana Camp-Meeting.

THE Seventh-day Adventists of Indiana will hold their next annual camp-meeting at Kokomo, Ind., Aug. 9–14. The Indianapolis, Peru and Chicago, Pan Handle, and Frankfort and Kokomo railroads all center in Kokomo. The depots are within a mile of the camp-ground. Teams will be at the stations to convey all who come to the ground. Ample provisions will be made for man and beast. Let those who have not tents, and the lonely and scattered ones, come bringing bedding, etc., and ample room and shelter will be provided. S. H. LANE.
