FRANKFORT (KY.) CAMP-MEETING.

By N. W. Allee

This meeting was held in a small, but very beautiful maple grove in Frankfort, the capital city of Kentucky, June 28 to July 8. The grounds were situated in the central part of the city, and were easy to be reached by those coming from a distance, as well as by residents of the city. The number of brethren encamped was small, and yet a fair representation of those living in that part of the territory for which the meeting was appointed. The attendance of the city people was good. The truths presented were well received, and quite an interest was shown to know more of the messages for this time. The preaching was of a practical nature, and was well received by the brethren. An earnest seeking after the life and power of the Word and Spirit was manifested. We are sure that victories were gained.

The different branches of our denominational work were considered, also the matter of the organization of the Cumberland Mission into a Conference. The probability is that a Conference will be organized at the time of the camp-meeting to be held at Harriman, Tenn., September 14–23. Elders G. A. Irwin, S. H. Lane, and J. E. White favored us with their presence and help for two days, which was much appreciated. During this time a meeting of the Southern Committee was held, and plans were laid for more aggressive work in this great field. The friends of the cause of present truth are responding to the calls for money to advance the work of the message in this field, and we wish to assure them that we will put forth our best efforts to carry out the instruction that the Lord has given us. Modest and inexpensive buildings for school and church work are being planned for and built; the work in new places will be begun as fast as means, and suitable persons to conduct the work, can be secured. Thoroughly consecrated families with some money can find fruitful fields for work in the Master's cause in General Conference District 2.

Small schools can be established in many places. The people are anxious to have these established among them. The Lord is blessing the work that is being done. We are expecting that he will manifest his love and care for his work and his servants in a marked manner as we draw near to him and endeavor to follow his instruction with regard to the work to be done here. This season we are to hold many more camp-meetings than ever before in this District. Brethren, remember the work and the workers here in your prayers.

ALABAMA

By W. Woodford

The work is onward in Alabama. I can not take the space here to mention the several interests; but I hope that the brethren interested in the Southern field will subscribe for the Southern Review, published at Atlanta, Ga., which comes laden with reports of the progress and needs of the Southern field. The price is thirty-five cents a year.

Since my last report, seven persons have been baptized and united with the church. Tent-meetings are in progress at Fort Payne, with meetings in two schoolhouses at Juniata, half a mile apart, both of which are well attended.

—, Cal., March 14, 1900. I have been receiving your valuable paper for one year, and I think it is the best and soundest religious paper now in circulation. I am now sixty-five years of age, and have been reading religious literature for forty-five years. Although I am not a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, I do agree with their views, and am observing the Sabbath. I wish to tender my thanks to friend Clark; for it was he who was kind enough to send me the REVIEW. J. A. CASSEY.

—, N. J., March 20, 1900. Will you be so kind as to change the address of my REVIEW from ——, N. J., to ——? I do not wish to miss one number of that precious paper now. JOSEPH E. LAYTON.

—, Neb., March 12, 1900. Inclosed please find post-office order for $1.50, to pay for two six-months’ subscriptions. I did not know how I would get the good paper, but Sister Sellers had the money to pay for one year’s subscription, and she divided it with me. I am thankful that God has people whose hearts are so knit together that they will divide with each other. MINA Q. BROWN.

—, Ohio, Feb. 5, 1900. Yes, we must have the good REVIEW; could not keep alive in the cause without it. The REVIEW has visited us for nearly thirty years, and is one of the family. The paper gets better all the time, and is spiritual food to us. MRS. JAMES ROWE.

—, Vt., March 15, 1900. I write to ask if the articles on “The Third Angel’s Message,” and the ones on “The Millennium,” by A. T. Jones, also those on “The Gospel of the Kingdom,” by W. W. Prescott, could not be published in tract form. I wish I was able to send out one hundred copies of the REVIEW. I long for others to know of the gospel. MRS. S. C. BOTSFORD.

—, Cal., Jan. 28, 1900. We could not well get along without the REVIEW. There will always be room in our home for it. It is about a year since I found our Lord Jesus. W. J. EVANS.

—, Mich., March 19, 1900. The series of editorials in the REVIEW on “Galatians” and “The Third Angel’s Message,” are daily ministering the water of life to my soul. May the Lord continue his blessings to you, and may he be your daily support in your responsible place, both now and in the fearful days before us. My prayers are with you. A. W. WASHBURN.

—, N. Y. —, 1900. Many a member of other churches gives from five to twenty-five dollars annually for the support of his minister, and he only gets one sermon each week, of from twenty to forty minutes’ duration. I get the REVIEW for $1.50 a year, and it is filled with several sermons every week, which actually feed my whole spiritual being, and then the rest of the paper is worth double the subscription price. L. KINGSLEY.

—, Mich., April 23, 1900. A friend sent several copies of the REVIEW to me, and I greatly enjoyed reading them; for in them I found so many things that I need. My brother and myself thought we would subscribe for it, so please send it as soon as possible. Inclosed find money order for $1.50. MRS. JENNIE DE YOUNG.

—, Mich., —, 1900. Inclosed find 50 cents, to apply on our REVIEW. Be sure to send this week’s paper, as we can not afford to lose one. M. C. SNOW.

—, Kan., April 28, 1900. I have been having the REVIEW the last six months through my mother, whose subscription has just expired. As she has moved away, I am desirous of not missing a single copy of the paper if I can avoid it. I inclose 50 cents for the same for four months. I enjoy and appreciate its weekly visits more and more each year. MRS. F. L. WHYTE.

—, Ill., April 29, 1900. We feel that we can not afford to do without this good paper. Inclosed find money order for $1.50, for one year’s subscription. L. BEDFORD, M. D.

—, Iowa, April 17, 1900. Inclosed find 75 cents, for the REVIEW six months. We do not feel as if we could live without it. Please send the issue of April 15, as our subscription expired with the issue of April 3. B. P. DAWSON.

—, Minn., April 16, 1900. Inclosed you will find the name of one new subscriber to your good paper, and the money to pay for the same, for four months. He is one of my neighbors. I told him that he needed the REVIEW, so he subscribed. A. G. POTTER. P. S.—Since coming to mail my letter I have secured another subscription for four months. Please find the order inclosed. A. G. P.

—, Ala., April 17, 1900. Inclosed please find money order for $1.50, to pay my renewal. I can not afford to miss a single copy of the REVIEW just now. The Bible and the REVIEW are my only comfort, and the paper comes as an old friend whom I love to greet. MRS. MARIET EMENS.

—, Mo., April 18, 1900. Inclosed find 50 cents, for the REVIEW. Please extend the time on my subscription. We need the REVIEW; in fact, we can’t do without it; and as soon as we get it read, some of our neighbors are anxious and waiting to get it. We loan it to them, so as to make the copies reach as many families as possible. A. C. MCNEELY.

—, Ala., April 15, 1900. Many thanks to you for sending the REVIEW. I was afraid you would drop my name before I could get the money. We can’t get along without it, it is so full of good things. Inclosed find $3. A. J. DEVINNEY.

—, Pa., April —, 1900. I send 75 cents for a renewal of my subscription, for six months. I can not afford to miss one copy of the REVIEW. I have read its pages for the last eleven years, and have learned to love its weekly visits. MRS. A. KELSEY.

—, Wis., April 17, 1900. Inclosed find $1.50, for which please extend my subscription one year. A word in regard to the benefit I received from the REVIEW last year. I was on the point of studying hypnotism, but, while at the camp-meeting held at Marshfield last June, a brother from somewhere in the southern part of this State, by the name of Holmes, while talking with me, found out that I was not taking any of our papers, on account of poverty, and that it was only through the kindness of the church elder that I had been able to attend camp-meeting. It was the first camp-meeting I had ever attended. This kind brother took me to the book-stand, and gave me my name, and paid for a year’s subscription to the REVIEW. About that time there was an article on hypnotism, in the paper, showing it to be of Satan. I was scared to see how near I had come to getting in Satan’s clutches. And to say that I was thankful for the REVIEW, would be putting it but mildly. I may never have the opportunity of thanking this brother, yet if he is faithful, he will receive his reward in heaven. Everyone belonging to the Seventh-day Adventist Church should take the REVIEW, and read, study, and apply its teachings. I hope to be able to continue my subscription from year to year. CLARENCE E. BAKER.

Preparing for the Annual Camp-Meeting

By J. D. Gowell

The time for our annual conference and State camp-meeting is near at hand, and no doubt many are laying their plans to attend the meeting. We believe the camp-meetings in the past have proved a great blessing to our people; and as we see the signs fulfilling around us, showing that the end is near, we believe these occasions should become more and more important. Anciently the people of God made great account of the annual gatherings; and when they were neglected a few years, the people wandered away from God, which resulted in idol worship, and always led to a condition of things that brought the displeasure of God. I am sure our people will respond to this call, and will seek God with all their hearts, from now until camp-meeting, for his rich blessing.

I wish to speak of the location, as last year there was a cry raised that there was much sickness on account of the water. We have tested the water, and find it far better than most of the water in the country. The new well we dug last year is free from vegetable matter, and the others have but very little; so the people need not stay away on that account.

The weather last year was very dry and hot, and there was sickness all over the State. This season we shall take pains to have the grounds well sprinkled, as we intend to have a sprinkler of our own, run by our team from Cedar Lake. We shall do all we can to have the camp in the best condition possible, and we hope that none will stay away for fear of sickness, for that is liable to come anywhere.

Our meeting comes a little later, which we think will be an advantage in many ways. If all will be careful, and not indulge too freely in new fruits of many varieties, I am sure all will pass off nicely, and we will have much of the blessing of God in our assembling together.

We expect to have the help of Elder and Mrs. S. N. Haskell which will be appreciated by all, as many are acquainted with him and his labor in the past. Many other able ministers will be in attendance; as the General Conference has always been very kind in providing us able help. We expect the president of the General Conference, and also the District superintendent, to be present. Come and receive the blessing the Lord has for us.

Reduced rates have been secured on all railroads in Michigan, at one fare for the round trip, giving until September 13 to return. Tickets can be procured on the following dates, August 22, 29, 30, and September 5 and 6. Order your tents early of R. E. Taylor, 271 Champion St., Battle Creek, Mich. Further instructions later. J. D. GOWELL.

SOUTHERN ILLINOIS CAMP-MEETING.

By N. W. KAUFLE

The local camp-meeting for southern Illinois will be held at Salem, September 13-23. Suitable grounds have been secured for this meeting, and no pains will be spared to make such preparations as are necessary for the success of the meeting. Elder A. T. Jones, editor of the REVIEW AND HERALD, will attend the meeting. We are also making arrangements for other efficient help.

We hope that our brethren and sisters in southern Illinois will make a special effort to attend this annual feast. We ought to know as soon as possible how many will wish tents, so that we may know how many tents to ship from our annual meeting to the Salem camp-meeting. Let our brethren be perfectly free in ordering. N. W. KAUFLE.

Virginia Camp-Meeting

By R. D. Hottel

This camp-meeting will be held in Forest Hill Park, near Richmond, Aug. 9-20, 1900. The authorities have granted us the free use of the park, with electric lights for pavilion, etc. Six running springs of water are within a hundred yards of the encampment. Thousands of persons from the city visit the park almost daily, and we believe we shall have a large attendance at the meeting. The park is about twenty minutes' ride from the union depot. The Richmond Passenger and Power Company's cars run from all parts of the city, with one fare, to the park. Those coming to the union depot will take the cars at the door. Those coming on the C. & O. R. R. will walk two squares south to Franklin street, take car, and transfer at Seventh Street. Those coming over the Southern will walk two squares north, to Main Street, take car, and transfer at Seventh Street. Those coming on the boat will take cars at the Wharf. All should inquire for Forest Hill Park cars, as the Richmond Traction Company does not transfer to the park. We hope that all our people will make special efforts to be present. The railroads have granted us a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip. Inquire of your agent, a few days before coming, about the rates. There will be a dining hall and grocery on the grounds. We expect Elders Cottrell, Ballenger, Place, and Moon, and others, at the meeting. For further information, see Virginia Messenger, or write to the undersigned, at New Market, Va.

UNION COLLEGE.

TIME OF OPENING.

The tenth year of Union College will open September 19, and all who are planning to attend during the fall term should be present at the opening. The program will be arranged, students classified, and regular class work will begin at once; hence it is much to the advantage of all to start at the beginning.

THE OUTLOOK.

While the last year was regarded one of the best in the history of the college, already the outlook for next year indicates even a better year. But this is as it should be; the school is older, is better equipped, and its sphere of work is enlarged. Its stand for thorough, practical education has attracted students from many States, and has given to it an enviable reputation. The faculty have no other aim than to keep up this high standard, offering to our young people the opportunity of securing a practical college education under Christian instructors, with associations of those of like faith.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND.

The college gladly welcomes all earnest young men and women who have a desire to learn, and are determined to succeed; who have learned to place a just valuation upon time, and are willing to improve it to the best of their ability. Those who have a high purpose in life will find Union College an ideal place to spend a few months or years in their preparation for life's work.

WHO SHOULD NOT COME.

Those who are not in harmony with the principles upon which the school is founded; who have no desire to study, and who do not wish to learn; who are addicted to evil habits, which they are not willing to break, should not come.

There are many reasons why this class should not be admitted. They will receive little or no benefit from the school. Their influence would be exerted for evil instead of good, and would tend to demoralize even those who had a desire to do right. Parents should not send to the college, boys whom they themselves are unable to control.

ADVANTAGES.

Union College offers many advantages. Buildings are large, comfortable, and well equipped. It is situated near the geographical center of our country. There is an abundance of sunshine, with a dry, pure atmosphere, giving a healthful, invigorating climate. The Nebraska Sanitarium is on the same grounds. Courses of study are arranged with reference to the needs of the students, and with a view to giving thorough preparation for the different lines of Christian work.

SPECIAL ATTENTION

Will be given to the training of young men for the ministry, and young women for church-school work. The preparatory medical course is planned for those who desire to study medicine. The commercial course is for those who desire a business education. A specialty is also made of instrumental music.
