NEBRASKA CAMP-MEETING.

Camp-meeting for southwestern Nebraska, to be held at Beaver City, Furnas Co., Sept. 19-24. We want to see all the friends in this part of the State present, and will do all we can to make the meeting a profitable one. Brethren from northern Kansas are invited, and those at North Platte and all along the line of the U. P. R. R. west of Grand Island. Let us labor personally to forward the notice to isolated brethren. Do not trust to the paper, as many do not take it. Geo. B. Starr. A. J. Cudney.

A general meeting will be held at Oronoco, Minn., commencing Sept. 11, 1879, and holding over Sabbath and Sunday. This meeting is for the special benefit of those churches in the southeast part of our Conference, and we hope to see all the brethren and sisters from these churches at this meeting. Be sure to bring your children, as the Sabbath-school work will claim a share of the time. One of our large tents will be on the ground to hold meetings in. Those attending this meeting should come prepared to take care of themselves. You who have family tents, bring them along, and come early so as to have them ready for the meeting. Harrison Grant. N. Battin. L. H. Ells.

VASSAR, MICH., CAMP-MEETING.

A T. and M. meeting will be held on Friday, Sept. 5, at 2 P. M. We hope to see all members of Districts No. 8, 9, 10, 13, and 16, at this meeting, that we may fully understand the wants of this branch of the work, and that plans may be made for the fall and winter’s labor. District secretaries and librarians should bring their books, as there will be those present who will cheerfully render any necessary assistance in regard to keeping them. J. Fargo.

The interests of the Health and Temperance Society will be considered at the Vassar camp-meeting. Opportunity will be given to all to sign the pledge. Brethren, come prepared to advance with this part of the Lord’s work. M. B. Miller.

The first annual session of the Vermont S. S. Association will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Essex Junction, Vt., Sept. 11-16. Let delegates be chosen by each school in the State. The usual business of the annual meeting will be considered. H. Peebles, Pres. E. M. Peebles, Sec.

KENTUCKY CAMP-MEETING.

The Kentucky camp-meeting and Conference will be held at Powder Mills, Hart Co., beginning Tuesday night, Sept. 30, and continuing until the next Monday night. We make an earnest appeal, first, to the Powder Mills church to commence now to get ready for this meeting, and to arrange matters so as to leave their homes for the encampment in time to have all ready before the meetings commence; secondly, to the brethren and sisters throughout the State to make a strong effort to be at the meeting in time and remain until the close. Come prepared to take care of yourselves and others. The brethren and sisters from abroad will be cared for. We expect that Eld. Canright, Eld. R. F. Andrews, and Eld. G. K. Owen and wife, will attend this meeting. Let all the members consider themselves a committee to interest the people to attend this meeting. There will be teams at Munfordsville, Tuesday, Sept. 30, to convey all who may come by railroad to the place of meeting. All who intend coming this way will please correspond with P. A. Williams, Rio, Hart Co., Ky. Teams will be at the depot only one day, Tuesday. Conference Committee.

TENNESSEE CAMP-MEETING.

As the General Conference favors us with ministerial help for two camp-meetings in our Conference, we think it best to hold a session of the State Conference at each place. The meeting for Tennessee will be held at Edgefield Junction, commencing with the Sabbath, Oct. 10, and continuing one week. Will every brother and sister in Tennessee make every reasonable effort to attend this meeting? Come prepared to care for yourselves. Those from a distance will be provided for. Use every effort to interest people to come to the meeting. Bro. G. K. Owen and Clinton Owens will arrange for this meeting in Tennessee. All who expect to go to Tennessee in wagons will come to the Kentucky meeting prepared to go right on from there. Conference Committee.

MAINE CAMP-MEETING.

This meeting will be held Sept. 4-9, at Waterville, on the same ground that was occupied last year. A reduction of one-half fare will be granted on the M. C. R. R., as usual. Ample provisions will be made for both man and beast. Eld. Geo. I. Butler and other able speakers will be present. Let every Sabbath-keeper in Maine come. All of us need the strength and encouragement which can be derived from attending this meeting. Let us come to seek God, and work for the salvation of perishing souls. We invite Bro. and Sr. White to attend if consistent with duty. Committee.

The next annual session of the Maine State Conference will be held on the camp-ground at Waterville, Sept. 3, 1879, at 4 P. M. Let all the delegates be upon the ground to attend the first meeting of the Conference. Those churches that have been organized this year, also unorganized bodies of Sabbath-keepers, should be represented in this session. J. B. Goodrich, Pres.
