Vermont Camp-Meeting.

Arrangements are made for keeping horses on hay for forty cents each, per day, during the meeting. A provision stand will be run about as last year. We shall do our best to accommodate those who come not having tents. In the line of wearing apparel, warm gloves, overshoes, etc., and bedding, be sure and bring enough. Nights and mornings may be more chilly than at any previous camp-meeting. Come prepared to resist the cold. Well furnished in this direction, there is not one-hundredth the danger of colds that many imagine. All should be on the ground Thursday morning.

Vt. Conf. Com.

Vermont State Conference.

The fifteenth annual session of the Vt. State Conference of S. D. Adventists will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Morrisville, Sept. 6–11, 1877.

We hope each church will be represented by a delegate or delegates, according to the constitution, with letters stating the numerical and financial strength, and spiritual standing of their respective churches. Let each S. B. treasurer see that all pledges are paid up to July 1, 1877. Please do not defer the payment of S. B., or means otherwise due to the Conference, on the supposition that funds are not needed. “Will a man rob God?”

We also cordially invite our brethren, sisters, and friends, from Canada, who may or may not have united with the Conference as churches, to meet with us in our annual gathering.

Northern N. Y. Camp-Meeting.

This meeting will be held at Jefferson Park, one and a half miles from Carthage, Jefferson Co., N. Y., Sept. 11–17, 1877.

Jefferson Park is located on the Utica and Black River R. R., one and one-half miles from Carthage toward Watertown. All trains stop at the ground. Those coming from the central and eastern part of the State will take this road at Utica, and reach the ground without change. Those coming from west of Syracuse can, if they prefer, take the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg R. R. (Syracuse Northern Division) at Syracuse for Watertown, where they will change for Carthage. Those coming from the north on the R., W. and O. R. R. will change for Carthage at Philadelphia. The R., W. and O. R. R. will sell camp-meeting tickets at reduced rates from stations south of Watertown, to Watertown, and return and from stations north of Philadelphia to Philadelphia, and return. The Utica and Black River R. R. will sell camp-meeting tickets from all stations to Jefferson Park, and return.

Straw and provisions will be furnished on the ground, as usual, and arrangements will be made for those who wish their teams cared for during the meeting. We invite all to come, even those who are not provided with tents, as arrangements will be made to accommodate such. Bring plenty of bedding and extra clothing, so as to be protected against the cold, damp weather we are liable to have so late in the season.

Conf. Com.

N. Y. and Pa. State Conference.

The fifteenth annual session of the N. Y. and Pa. State Conference of S. D. Adventists will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Carthage, Sept. 11–17, 1877.

Every church in the Conference should be represented, if possible by delegate, or by letter in case they cannot send delegates. Let every church clerk see that the delegate is furnished with the proper church and financial reports, the blanks for which have been furnished by the secretary of the Conference. Let all church clerks also bring or send their S. B. books and records for examination by the Conference.

There have been quite a number of new churches organized during the past year. Especially let these churches represent themselves by delegate if possible. We hope all S. B. treasurers will see that every dollar of S. B. due from their respective churches to July 1 is sent to the Conference treasurer before this session of Conference, as it will be needed.

B. L. Whitney, Asa M. Green, A. H. Hall, N. Y. & Pa. Conference Committee.
