THE CAMP-MEETINGS.

By James White

Most of the State committees have sent us urgent requests to attend their several camp-meetings. We have not responded to these individually; but, in season to make suitable arrangements, we made a statement on paper for the Review, that Mrs. W. and the writer were never in better condition to labor, that our sojourn in Colorado would be brief, and that we could attend a camp-meeting each week, reaching to late autumn in more southern latitudes.

It was our impression that we should, if possible, attend one camp-meeting in each State annually, and that at the time of the annual Conference. Had we been consulted in these matters, we might have saved some confusion, by suggesting arrangements that would have better served the cause, and made our work easier. But it is never too late to do the best we can. Eld. Burrill is called to Denver, Colorado, in our absence to attend the camp-meetings. This makes it necessary that Eld. Canright should labor in Ohio, instead of being at several camp-meetings. The time of the Carthage, N. Y., meeting will be a week earlier than first appointed, and the New York and Pennsylvania Conferences will both be held at Hornellsville, N. Y., one week following the Carthage meeting. The remaining camp-meetings for the season will be left for us, Eld. Butler, and others to attend. We shall have to be in Colorado the last of October, and would like to attend the great Michigan camp-meeting before we leave, at which time the General Conference and other anniversaries could be held as usual. If those who control these matters choose to put the General Conference at a later date, to be held in the tabernacle, we shall not object unless they require us to attend. JAMES WHITE.
