MICHIGAN CAMP-MEETINGS.

By James White

IN counsel with Elders Jones, Miller, and Burrill, members of the Conference Committee, the opinion has prevailed that there should be two camp-meetings in the State of Michigan the present season, one at Alma, Gratiot County, the first of August, for the especial accommodation of those churches located in the northern part of the State, and a general or national camp-meeting to be held at Battle Creek during the first two weeks of October.

In connection with the Battle Creek camp-meeting will be held the General Conference, and the annual meetings of the Publishing Association, College, Sanitarium, Tract and Missionary Societies, and Sabbath-school and Temperance Organizations. The time of this great camp-meeting is put when the tent and camp-meeting work shall be past, in order that there may be a gathering of all our preachers, and a general meeting of our people as far as possible, from the entire State of Michigan and the surrounding States, as may be deemed practicable. This meeting is located at Battle Creek near the southern boundary of the State, with reference to the accommodation of our people in Northern Indiana and Northern Ohio. And we make this early mention of the important meeting, that the friends of the cause who may wish to attend may be apprized of it, and make their calculations and preparations in season.

It is now expected that Mrs. W. will return from the Pacific coast to attend these camp-meetings, and several others in those States where camp-meetings have not been held during the present season. Camp-meetings are very important gatherings for our people, and our interest in them, and our efforts to make them of service to the cause, should be put forth with increased energy.
