PENNSYLVANIA CAMP-MEETING.

The Pa. Conference of S. D. Adventists will hold their first camp-meeting Sept. 18-23, at Belknap's Park, 1½ miles east of Hornellsville, N. Y., on the Erie R. R. This place has been chosen on account of its convenient location, not only for the brethren of this Conference, but also for the delegates to the N. Y. Conference, which is to be held in connection with this meeting. Hornellsville, a town of 6000 inhabitants, is situated on the main line of the Erie Road and at the eastern terminus of the Western Division. The Park is situated immediately on the R. R., so that passengers and baggage are landed on the grounds. Trains 6, 9, and 15 will stop at the ground each day, and special trains will be run from Hornellsville to the Park several times a day during the meeting. Those coming from the east will do best to take train 9, which stops at the ground just before noon; and from the west, train 6, which leaves Salamanca at 9:12 A. M. Special rates of fare at less than 2 cts. per mile have been made from all stations from which our people will come. Persons should call for camp-meeting tickets to Hornellsville, which will be good for passage both ways. The Buffalo, New York, and Phila. R. R. also grant ½ reduction to those coming to the meeting over their road. Buy regular tickets in coming to Olean, and the reduction will be granted on return. Application has been made for reduction on the Atlantic and Great Western R. R., which will doubtless be granted. Straw, provision, etc., will be furnished on the ground as usual. Let all be sure to bring plenty of bedding and clothing. PA. CONF. COM.

MISSOURI CAMP-MEETING.

The fall camp-meeting for Missouri, and the State Conference, will be held at Windsor, in the northeast corner of Henry Co., on the M. K. & T. R. R., twenty miles southwest of Sedalia, Oct. 9-14. Those coming on the Mo. Pacific R. R. from the east make connection with the M. K. & T. R. R. at Sedalia. Those coming with teams from the northwestern part of the State can reach Windsor as easily as they could Sedalia, where the meeting was held last year. The location is a very good one, convenient to the depot, in a nice grove near town, with plenty of water, etc. We hope to see a general rally. Provide yourselves with tents if possible. Be in good time to commence with the meeting, and stay till the close. Good help from abroad is expected. Let no ordinary matters keep you from attending this meeting. MO. CONF. COM.

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.

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. Brn. 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.
A general meeting of Seventh-day Adventists will be held at Boulder, Colorado, commencing Friday evening, Oct. 3, and holding over Sunday. The Sabbath-school and T. and M. work will be considered. There will also be opportunity for baptism. Eld. A. O. Burrill is expected to be present.
We want all the scattered brethren to attend, as we shall lay plans for future labor, and desire to know about the openings in different parts of the State. Let all come prepared to do something toward meeting expenses of the tent-meetings the past season. So far as we can, we ought to sustain the cause in our own State. If any cannot attend the meeting, but desire to help meet expenses, let them send means for the same to J. M. Green, Boulder, Col. J. O. CORLISS.
