ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

By Smith Sharp

It is expected that the Kansas camp-meeting will begin Wednesday evening, May 19, 1880, just one hundred years from the darkening of the sun and moon, hence none need forget the time.

There will be a sermon in the tent that evening, and perhaps the Conference will be organized early Thursday morning. It is therefore very important that our brethren and sisters should be there Wednesday in time to pitch their tents. We especially request the delegates to be present before the commencement of the meeting and to pass in their credentials to W. E. Dawson, the Secretary of the Conference, and thus greatly aid to facilitate the business. We also request those who attend from the General Conference to be there on Wednesday and take the oversight of the meeting from the very beginning. We hope to be favored with an address from Bro. or Sr. White or Bro. Butler.

The condition of my health is such that it is doubtful about my being able to assist in the preparations for the meeting, hence it will be necessary for all the other members of the Conference Committee, the members of the Camp-meeting Committee, the ministers of the Conference, and as many of the leading brethren as consistently can, to be on the ground Tuesday morning, so that all needed preparations can be made in good season. Let those who have the charge of our large tent see that it is on the ground Tuesday.
