The Illinois Camp-meeting.
By C. H. Bliss
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: As I am requested to say a word to you through the REVIEW concerning our anticipated camp-meeting, I will do so at this early date. It is to be held in one of the leading cities in the State. We desire therefore that all of our brethren should put forth an earnest effort to attend. Shall it be a success? We are exceedingly anxious that it should be. But this will depend upon several things, which I will now mention. 1. Let all who possibly can, come. 2. Let our brethren and sisters present as orderly an appearance as possible. “Let all things be done decently and in order.” 5. Let all our church and T. and M. treasurers send in to our State treasurer what funds they have on hand and not wait and bring it to camp meeting, thus making hard labor for the treasurer to hand in a correct report. 6. Let our ministers see to it that they report to our State secretary in time, and that a brief report be ready for the inspection of our auditing committee. 7. For the accommodation of our brethren we design running three excursion coaches, providing we have a sufficient number of applications. Each coach will carry fifty persons. We must know immediately who will go. Send in your applications. One train will leave Carbondale 2:45 A. M.; Freeport, 9:15 A. M.; Gilman, 1:00 P. M., on Aug. 27. Again I say, Let all come. C. H. Bliss.
