Ohio Camp-meeting.

By H. A. St. John

The Ohio camp-meeting for 1878 will be held at Tiffin, Ohio, in the Rock Spring Grove, on the Sandusky river, about one mile north of the railroad depots.

The ground is a good one, needing but little fitting up, and is well shaded. The water privileges could hardly be better, a small stream fed by springs running through the back part of the grove, and Sandusky river near by.

Tiffin is a city of probably not less than twelve thousand inhabitants, who have never heard the “present truth.” It is a good railroad center, and is probably more central for all our people in the State than any other accessible point.

The time suggested for our meeting, by the committee on camp-meetings at the last session of the General Conference, was Aug. 7-12. We are persuaded that this date will be too early for most of our brethren, as it will be, in all probability, right in the midst of oat-harvest. We have appealed to the General Conference Committee to give us a later date in August if practicable.

At whatever time it may be held, we hope our people all over the State will begin at once to plan with reference to it. We can hardly afford to hold camp-meetings unless our people in the Conference, as a body, attend. May it prove a great blessing to the cause in Ohio. This will be sufficient notice for the present.
