The New York Camp-Meeting.
By James White
FOR several reasons Mrs. W. and ourself had decided not to attend the New York Camp-meeting; but go from Maine directly to the Kansas meeting, and on to California. But brethren Whitney and Kinne met us at the New England meeting, and after a conference with them and others, we decide that it is our duty to attend the New York Camp-meeting, and pass by the brethren in Kansas this season. This change involves pain on our part, and a great disappointment to a people who are extremely anxious to hear us, and will come, some of them, hundreds of miles to that meeting to to be disappointed. It will also put younger speakers in a hard place to meet a disappointed congregation. It grieves us to disappoint numerous friends in Kansas and Missouri, whom we have never met. But we make the sacrifice, and run the risk of disappointing a very large body of brethren in that Conference, in order to meet a smaller one in New York. And under these circumstances we shall expect a general rally from all parts of New York and Pennsylvania at the camp-meeting to be held at Rome, N. Y., September 9-14. All should be on the ground the 8th without fail. The New York Conference needs help, and will have help if the brethren act promptly. We request a full meeting. Now is the time to act. JAMES WHITE, Pres't. Gen. Conf.
