Ohio Camp-meeting

Appointments.

“And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”

Ohio Camp-meeting.

The tenth Ohio camp-meeting will be held at Tiffin, Ohio, Aug. 28 to Sept. 3, 1878. It is designed to begin the meetings Wednesday evening. Let all be on the ground, and in readiness for the first meeting.

The camp-ground is a pleasant grove, well watered and well shaded, on the east bank of the Sandusky River, on the first farm north, outside of the city corporation. Ample provision will be made for man and beast. Two large tents will be on the ground.

We expect Eld. J. H. Waggoner, Prof. C. W. Stone, and other speakers. Come with your small tents, brethren, from every direction. In arranging time and place of this meeting we have had in view a general rally of Ohio Sabbath-keepers. Shall we be disappointed? Let the lonely and the poor, who cannot procure tents, come any way. Come one, come all, hoping and praying for a refreshing season.

H. A. St. John.

Maine Camp-meeting.

This meeting will be held Sept. 4 to 9, 1878, in a pleasant grove, one mile from Waterville village, on the road leading to West Waterville. This grove is owned by Mrs. Gilman. This is the most central point in the State to accommodate all our people; therefore we expect all will make a special effort to attend. We expect half-fare will be granted us on the Maine C. R. R. and its branches the same as last year, as they have promised to do as well by us as they do by any other people.

J. B. Goodrich.

Maine Conference.

The twelfth annual session of the Maine State Conference will be held at Waterville, on the camp-ground, Sept. 4 to 9, 1878. Let all our churches immediately take the proper steps to represent themselves by delegate, according to the following ratio: “Each church of twenty members or under is entitled to one delegate, and one delegate for every additional fifteen members;” and let our young churches that wish to unite with the Conference send a delegate or represent themselves by letter, making their wishes known. We wish to have the delegates reach the ground as early as Tuesday, Sept. 3.
