Those coming from the north or north-west, by rail, will take Illinois Central cars at Chicago, for Kankakee. Friends in Western and Southern Illinois are requested to come to their nearest point on the “Chicago Branch” of the Illinois Central R. R., and come north to Kankakee. Teams will be in waiting for passengers from northern and southern-bound trains, at K. Ample provisions will be made for both man and beast.
Let all who can, come with tents to take care of themselves; but let those who cannot bring tents bring bedding, and tent-room will be furnished them. All tents should be erected, and things set in order, on Wednesday, Sept. 27. All be on time. Bro. and Sr. White, and Bro. Carright are expected. Let none excuse themselves and stay at home, who can possibly attend.

REMAINING CAMP-MEETINGS FOR 1876.
MICHIGAN, Lansing, Sept. 19-26
ILLINOIS, Waldron, Sept. 28 to Oct. 4.
VISIT TO LANSING.
By James White
The Camp-Meeting Grounds.
THE MAMMOTH TENT A GRAND PAVILION.
YESTERDAY, the 13th, we took the train for Lansing, to learn further particulars relative to the grounds, the mammoth tent, and the transportation of passengers and their baggage, and returned to-day to make the following statements for the REVIEW, to go out to its Michigan readers in advance of our regular day of publication.
1. The camp-ground is the finest one we have seen in the State of Michigan, and when fully prepared will be very inviting in appearance.
2. We found the Big Tent, 89x120 feet, pitched, and well located. It is the grandest thing of the kind we have seen. It will seat 4,000 comfortably, and will shelter at least 5,000 in case of rain. Our evening congregations will be comfortable the coolest September nights.
3. We were happy to be welcomed into their tent for the night by Brn. Carman, Fargo, King, and Potter, who superintend the preparations for the meeting. They will be ready to receive the brethren with their family tents Monday and Tuesday. They urge that a portion from each church should be on the ground with their tents Monday without fail.
4. We recommend that our brethren from Allegan County pass down on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern road to Schoolcraft, and pass to Lansing on the Chicago and Lake Huron road. Return tickets, saving fare one way, will be given on the Chicago and Lake Huron road, and efforts are being hopefully made for reduction in fare on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern. This route avoids the moving of baggage to the Michigan Central road at Kalamazoo, and from it at Battle Creek.
5. Let all remember that the season is late and cool, and that camp life at this season requires winter clothing.
6. There will be but one camp-meeting in the State the present season. This has been centrally located in expectation of a grand rally. Brethren, bring your children and friends to the meeting, praying and expecting that the Spirit of God and the Word of God will convert and reclaim. Mrs. W. and the writer labor under the conviction that we are attending our last full round of camp-meetings, and hope to greet a large delegation from all our churches and scattered ones at the Lansing Camp-meeting.
JAMES WHITE.

Advance Issue Ahead of Lansing Conference
By Editor
This number is issued a few days in advance of the regular time of publication in order to reach our readers in this State before the session of the Conference in Lansing, the 19th.
The reports we give from Kansas in this number were by some means delayed on the road, so that they were not received at this Office till after the last number of the REVIEW had gone into the mail.
No Paper Next Week.
By Editor
As our entire force of help want to attend the Michigan Camp-meeting at Lansing, Sept. 19-26, an opportunity which they should have, there will be no paper issued from this Office next week. In the week following we hope to give interesting reports of successful meetings on the Mich. Camp-ground.

Note.
The district quarterly meeting to be held in Daviess Co., Mo., Sept 30 to Oct. 1, with the Prairie Valley church, will commence with the Sabbath. We hope to see a general turnout of all our brethren and sisters in this part of the State. We also hope to have the most of our preaching brethren with us, as they return from their tent operations. Come, praying for the blessing of the Lord to attend this meeting. One of the large tents will be pitched on the “old tenting ground,” in Bro. Mallory’s grove.
