ORDERS FOR THE EARLY CAMP-MEETINGS.

By George I. Butler

We have received a number of inquiries concerning this, and will briefly reply that we expect Eld. Waggoner will attend with us all the camp-meetings in New England held during the early summer. Canright will also attend with us the Pennsylvania camp-meeting. The wish has been expressed by presidents of several western Conferences, that Canright attend their meetings. We also desire this, but it will not be consistent for him to do so. Haskell’s going to Australia was upon the condition that able help be sent to New England to take charge during his absence. Elds. Canright and Waggoner are now there laboring to carry out this arrangement. This will deprive the western camp-meetings of their labors, which we greatly regret. The importance of establishing the work in Australia makes this necessary. New England has been neglected in the past, and it must have help during Haskell’s absence. We trust this will be a sufficient explanation.

We had hoped Sr. White might be able to attend one of the early camp-meetings, and our people much desired this. But her ardent labors last year left her quite feeble, and we are not prepared to say whether she can do so or not. This is as far as we are able to speak on this subject at present. G. I. B.
