Camp-Meetings.

By Isaac D. Van Horn

WE design holding two camp-meetings in the N. P. Conference this year. The first one will be held near Walla Walla, to commence about the 28th, of May. The Conference, and T. and M. Society will have their annual meeting at this time. It will be necessary for all the officers to so arrange their books, accounts, and other business as to be ready for inspection and settlement, that the true standing of the Conference and T. and M. society may be shown.

All our brethren and sisters east of the Cascade mountains will be expected to attend that meeting.

The second camp-meeting will be held near Salem, Oregon, on our beautiful camp-ground of last year. This meeting will commence about the 18th of June and continue a week. It will be expected that all our friends in Western Oregon and Washington will attend this meeting. Let all our people begin immediately to circulate the notice of these meetings that they may be known all over the Conference. Let every family prepare themselves with a tent and bring it on the ground. If any one wishes to have a tent prepared for him, let him notify me immediately that I may have time to get them made. Be in season.

A tent 10x12, 3½ ft. wall, will take 55 yards of common drilling, and when done will cost from $12 to $15, and will be a very pretty tent. Let all get ready for the camp-meetings. I. D. VAN HORN, Pres. N. P. Conf.
