To Camp-Meeting Workers.

THE camp-meeting season is coming on, and we are happy to do all in our power to work up an interest in the meetings, by way of publishing notices, preparing hand-bills, supplements, etc., but there are a few things that we wish our friends would bear in mind. 1. Although the time and place of your meeting, the speakers that will attend, etc., may be perfectly well understood by you, it does not follow that we are informed concerning them. Therefore in your announcements do not forget to mention these important particulars. 2. Do not write to us and say, "Please put in a notice of our Camp-meeting, Conference, Tract and Missionary Society, Sabbath-school, and Temperance meetings; also make out a hand-bill for us." Now it may seem a small matter to do these things, and so it is; but even if we had abundance of time, it is not pleasant to work in uncertainty, not knowing whether or not we are stating the exact facts. Send us your appointments, clearly written out, and we will publish them. Send us all the particulars that you want placed on your bills and posters, and we will try to do the work promptly and in good shape. And, lastly, don't forget to tell us how many bills or supplements you want, and where they are to be sent. These points carefully attended to will save our friends much time, and us much trouble.
