Camp-meetings in Missouri.
APPLETON CITY, St. Clair Co., Mo., May 30 to June 4, 1878. Gallatin, Daviess Co., Mo., June 6 to 11, 1878. These meetings are designed to commence promptly Thursday morning, and continue through Monday and break up early Tuesday morning. At each of these points there is considerable interest to hear the truth among those not of our faith; and they are the most central places for our people, being convenient for those coming on the cars or with teams. The former is situated on the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas R. R., about midway between Sedalia and Ft. Scott. Those coming on the Missouri Pacific will change cars at Sedalia. Gallatin is on the Chicago South-western branch of the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific R. R. Those coming on the Hannibal and St. Joseph R. R. change cars at Cameron. These meetings are held after much consultation with the brethren in the State, and are in accordance with the wishes of nearly all with whom I have consulted. Our object in holding them is to carry on the work already begun in the State, advance the interest in the T. and M. work, kindle afresh the holy fire of love and piety, obtain a deeper hold on God, and arouse our people to a sense of the importance of the work of God for this time, as well as to bring the truth before those not of our faith. As the business meetings of the Conference will not be held till fall, these meetings will be wholly given to devotional exercises and instruction, and will therefore be of great interest to our people.
