It will be noticed that the order of the camp-meetings is changed from what it has been several years in the past. This notice is published thus early so that if there are important objections to this arrangement they may be put in in season for a change to be made. It is simply impossible to arrange the camp-meetings to please everybody. There are seven of the eastern camp-meetings to be held, and as some portions of the season are preferable to others, of course all cannot be perfectly suited. But there should be equality in these things as far as possible.
Our friends in New York have complained that thus far the camp-meeting has been too early, coming before harvest is over, and therefore they cannot get a full representation. They think they should not always have it in the worst time, and that if they could have it one week later it would accommodate them much better. The Michigan harvest comes earlier than in New York, so we have ventured to put this in first this year; and unless there is serious objection, we hope it may stand. There are some reasons why it would be better to have the Michigan Camp-meeting first. If those who attend the camp-meetings could commence with that State they would be in far better condition to labor than they are as it is. After holding four camp-meetings, the ministers find themselves in Maine, and have to ride night and day in order to reach Michigan in season. They are necessarily weary and in poor condition to engage in such an important meeting.
The Michigan meeting is by far the largest one of all, and therefore is the most important. Sister White has come east to attend at least a portion of the camp-meetings and will certainly want to attend the important Michigan meeting, and may not be able to attend those held later. This is one important reason why this meeting should be held earlier. Again, the fall term of school should commence the last of August or the very first of September, which it cannot very well do if the meeting is put off as late as usual. Other reasons might be assigned, but these are all I will mention.
Now if there are valid objections to this plan, let those interested notify me at once, either at some of the western camp-meetings at the proper date as appointed in the REVIEW, or after that at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.
Our camp-meetings this season have commenced gloriously. We expect them to be more important this season than ever before. Let us all plan for them, and attend them also. It will be noticed that these meetings commence Thursday and hold through Monday. They will therefore break up early Tuesday morning. Let all make up their minds to be on the ground when they commence, and stay till the close.

M. L. M.: We see nothing improper in organizing a Sabbath-school on the Sabbath day.

“Please give us your thoughts on Eze. 13:10-15, which speaks of building a wall and daubing it with untempered mortar.” A LOVER OF TRUTH.
The language applies to the time when the day of the Lord is near. Verse 5. It refers to false teachers in the last days who prophesy peace when the final trouble of the world is coming. By this means they lead the people to disregard the warning of approaching danger. Verse 10; 1 Thess. 5:3. The cry of peace and safety here pointed out, we consider to be more emphatically fulfilled in the modern doctrine of a temporal millennium than in anything else. There is nothing so well calculated as this to lull the people into a feeling of carnal security. This is the wall behind which the multitudes who reject the truth are hiding. Daubing it with untempered mortar is making a great show of arguments in its favor which have no foundation in reason and Scripture. It looks like a strong and substantial structure to the ignorant and unthinking; but there is no strength in it. The hailstones that shall rend it are the hailstones of the seventh and last plague. Rev. 16:21. The same judgments that dispel the fatal illusion of peace and safety, destroy those who have indulged in it. Verse 15. Under the term “prophets of Israel” we think those teachers are pointed out who in these last days are advocating a vain and delusive dream of peace and safety.
“Are we to understand from the following scriptures that repentance precedes faith? Matt. 21:32; Mark 1:15; Acts 3:19.” A. WILSON.
We repent toward God, because it is his law that we have broken. Acts 20:21. But whoever comes to God must believe that he is. Heb. 11:6. This degree of faith must precede repentance. Then we have faith in Christ, because his blood is the only means that can remove our guilt. So Paul, in Acts 20:21, after saying “repentance toward God,” continues, “and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” This faith comes after repentance; for no one can believe on Christ with faith to appropriate the merits of his sacrifice to his own benefit, before repenting of his sins; because these benefits are not to be had without repentance. U. S.
Bro. J. Banks, of Montcalm Co., Mich., desires to express his gratitude for the late visit of Bro. Hutchins to the church in his place, and acknowledge the great good it has done him and others.
Notice
To the church clerks of the Missouri & Kansas Conference.
My present address is Big Springs, Douglas Co., Kan. I hope each church clerk when he makes his report the last day of this month will give his post-office address in plain hand-writing.
SMITH SHARP, Sec. Mo. & Kan. Conf.
The P. O. address of T. J. Butler and L. R. Long who are laboring with the Northern Missouri tent, is Savannah, Andrew Co., Mo.
The post-office address of W. A. Raymond is Battle Creek, Mich.
The famine in India is again on the increase, and nearly three million natives are dependent on the Government for their daily bread.
Cooks and laundresses must have an easy time in Niceros, a little island in the Grecian Archipelago. The inhabitants are suffering from a “constant supply” of boiling water, thrown from a volcanic peak and running in streams down the mountain side. The matter, however, is a very serious affair, many being obliged to leave their homes for fear of being scalded to death.
The Mexicans are as zealous in the matter of putting down witchcraft as ever our New England forefathers were. A man and his wife suspected of it have been cremated alive. Jose Maria Bonenela, and his wife Diega, being accused of having bewitched Silvester Zacarias, were tried and found guilty. Part of the evidence was that the bewitched Zacarias, having been made to swallow three swallows of holy water, vomited such indigestible things as some pieces of a blanket and several bunches of hair. The Alcalde of Jacobo, in the State of Sinaloa, is the magistrate whose zeal against witchcraft resulted in this trial and execution. It is under such specious ignorance and bigotry that unhappy country of Mexico is ruled to-day.
