WESTERN NEW YORK CAMP-MEETING.
It is now expected that this meeting will be held on the same ground occupied last year,—Fillmore Park, East Aurora, N. Y. This is on the Buffalo, New York, and Philadelphia R. R., eighteen miles from Buffalo, and all trains land passengers on the ground. Half fare will be given from all stations to the ground. As to the ground itself, it is all that could be desired, while the advantages it offers in the way of permanent buildings, booths, etc., are such as can rarely be found. Having the use of these will very materially lessen the expenses of the meeting. This ought to be the largest camp-meeting ever held in the State. It is convenient of access to the larger share of the brethren in the Conference, and especially well located to accommodate the friends of the cause in Pennsylvania. We shall look for a general rally of the brethren from that State. Our meeting last spring was a sort of experiment, and the abundant success and good results of that meeting should stimulate us to greater efforts this year to have all attend who ought to share the benefits of the meeting. We would call especial attention to the fact that arrangements for tents, etc., should be made in season, so as to avoid risk of being late and suffering great inconvenience therefrom. Tents can be rented as heretofore, or what is much better, can be purchased on favorable terms, thereby saving expense in the end. Those wishing to purchase tents can secure them at the lowest figures by corresponding with B. L. Whitney, Rome, N. Y. Persons not expecting to attend this meeting can, by ordering tents in season, have them rented here, and then have them shipped to them for their own use in the fall. The time of the meeting has not been fully decided upon, but will be definitely announced soon. The General Conference Committee have suggested that it be held one week earlier than the time already named, June 5-11. If the weather and other circumstances will admit, this would be well, as it would give more time for tent labor between the camp-meetings. More on this point soon. Brethren, shall we not resolve, that, with the blessing of God, this meeting shall be a great success! Its importance cannot be overestimated. We want to see a successful campaign in the tent work this season. Several young men are entering the field for the first time. We want the special help and blessing of the Lord, that we may be able to accomplish the work before us. Shall we not make this spring meeting the special time when we shall unitedly seek the Lord for his blessing to be upon the work in our Conference, and when we shall seek an individual preparation for the part we have to act in the work? We hope to see a general representation of the brethren from all parts of the Conference.
