Vermont Camp-Meeting.

By A. S. Hutchins

The grove selected for our camp-meeting to be held Sept. 6-11, 1877, is about half a mile north of Morrisville, and about the same distance from the grove occupied by the Methodists for camp-meetings. The ground selected for the encampment is level, dry, and pleasant. The grove is a beautiful one: it is not dense, but will afford ample shade.

Morrisville is a flourishing village, situated on the banks of the Lamoille river. Our camp-ground, with its cotton dwellings imbosomed in the gentle grove, and large canvas tents spread for worship, with ample preparations for services in the open air in fair weather, viewed from this village, will present an imposing and attractive appearance. Come to this meeting, dear brethren and sisters. Come, bringing your children, your neighbors, and friends. Sound out the invitation. Say to the professed Christian, say to the backslidden, say to the poor sinner, Come.

The meeting was put by three weeks in consequence of the first appointment falling on the time of the centennial celebration of the battle of Bennington, and to carry it by the hurry of harvesting, and for the reason that we could not earlier secure the labors of Eld. D. M. Canright. A cordial invitation is extended to Bro. and Sr. White, to meet with us in our camp-meeting. Come to the meeting, brethren and sisters, in season; come to remain till its close. Come to do good, and get good. A. S. HUTCHINS.
