NEW YORK CAMP-MEETING.

This meeting will be held at Jefferson Park, Sept. 11–16, on the Utica and Black River R. R., 1½ miles west of Carthage, N. Y., on the same ground occupied two years ago. The U. and B. R. R., and the R. W. and O. R. R., give reduced fare to persons attending the meeting. Ask for tickets for Seventh-day Adventist camp-meeting at Jefferson Park, which, on being indorsed by the secretary of the meeting, will be good for return passage. All trains stop at the ground. Provisions, straw, etc., will be furnished on the ground as usual. All should supply themselves with plenty of bedding and clothing. There will be extra tents furnished for those who may have failed from lack of time to order; so let none stay away on this account, as they will be provided for. We hope to see a general attendance.

The annual session of the N. Y. Conference of S. D. Adventists will be held at Hornellsville, N. Y., Sept. 18–23, in connection with the Pa. camp-meeting. As it was but recently decided to hold our Conference in connection with this camp-meeting, it will be necessary for the church clerks to act promptly in preparing their reports. We make a special request that each church, if possible, represent themselves by delegate at this Conference; or, in case this is not possible, that the clerk of the church will make out the proper reports and forward to the State secretary, so that every church shall be represented, either by delegate or by letter. The secretary will immediately furnish all clerks with blanks. Let these be filled out immediately, and the delegates be furnished with proper credentials. N. Y. Conf. Com.

A general convention of the N. Y. S. S. Association will be held in connection with the camp-meeting to be held at Carthage, N. Y., Sept. 11–16. We have extended an invitation to Bro. W. C. White to attend, and we trust that every one of our people will co-operate with and second the efforts of those who may labor to advance the interests of this department of the work. A general Sabbath-school exercise will be held in the large pavilion at 9 o’clock Sabbath morning, Sept. 20, and we hope that all persons on the ground will be prepared with perfect lessons for that occasion. The lessons for the Second, Third, and Fourth Divisions will be found in the Instructor that contains the lessons for the third Sabbath in September. Second Division, Bible Lessons for Children; Third Division, Bible Lessons for Youth; Fourth Division, the third lesson in September Supplement of Instructor; First, or Infant Division, Bible Lessons for Little Ones, No. 14. M. H. Brown, Pres.

The annual session of the Pa. Conference of S. D. Adventists will be held in connection with the N. Y. Conference, at Hornellsville, N. Y., Sept. 18–23. Every church in this Conference should be fully represented by delegate, and we strongly urge upon all our churches that they see that such delegates are duly elected, and that immediately, as we have no time to lose. Each church of twenty members or less is entitled to one delegate, with an additional delegate for each fifteen additional members. We particularly request that each church clerk at once see to it that the delegates are furnished with proper credentials, and that all blanks are properly and carefully filled out, so that they may be prepared to represent their respective churches at this coming Conference. The secretary of the Conference will furnish each church clerk with the necessary blanks. We look for a full report and representation of our churches at this meeting. B. L. Whitney, Pa. J. W. Raymond, Conf. D. B. Oviatt, Com.

THIRD MICHIGAN CAMP-MEETING.

It is decided that the third Michigan camp-meeting will be held at Lyons, in a grove near the depot, on the D. L. & N. R. R. This is about one and one-half miles from the depot at Muir, on the D. & M. R. R. Arrangements have been made with the ’bus men at Muir to carry passengers from the Muir depot to the camp-ground for 10 cents each, and with draymen to carry trunks for 5 cents each. All coming on the D. & M. R. R. will get off at Muir. Barn room and feed for teams will be furnished a short distance from the camp-ground at reasonable rates. It is expected our brethren and sisters will come prepared to bear their share of necessary expenses. Efforts will be made to get reduction in fare on the D. L. & N. R. R. and D. & M. R. R. Wm. Potter, F. Howe, and W. R. Slade will act as camp-meeting committee at the Lyons meeting. The date of the meeting is changed to Sept. 18–22. J. Fargo, Pres. Mich. Conf.

NEBRASKA CAMP-MEETING.

Camp-meeting for south-western 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.
