And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
General Campmeeting.
Aug. 6, we received the following circular from the General Conference Committee, expecting to receive full particulars for insertion in this week’s REVIEW. But as they have not come, we can only give the circular:
It is now decided to hold a general Campmeeting in the town of Wright, Ottawa County, Michigan, August 26-31. This circular is sent out in advance of a more full notice in the REVIEW, in consequence of the limited time.
Wright may not be quite as central and easy of access as the vicinity of Battle Creek, but has advantages over Battle Creek in that it is comparatively a new field, and many members of this church are able farmers who have not been taxed with the care and expenses of large meetings.
Wright is situated on the Detroit & Milwaukee R. R., twenty miles east of Grand Haven. Those coming from the west will find evening boats at Chicago and Milwaukee to Grand Haven. Those coming from the east will take the Detroit & Milwaukee R. R. at Detroit. Particulars as to routes, and what persons should provide themselves with, who attend this meeting, will be given in the REVIEW.
We only add that a general gathering from all parts with tents is expected. Particulars how the tents, &c., should be made, will be given in REVIEW.
Those coming to this meeting on the cars from the east, will get off at Berlin Station; those from the west, at Cooperville.

A Good Assortment of Books.
By Dudley Marvin Canright
THESE I intend to have on hand all the time at South Lancaster, Mass. I can furnish them at the same prices that they do at the office. The new books and tracts I shall have as soon as they are out. Come, brethren and sisters, supply yourselves with these good books. Get them for your friends and neighbors. They have done well in this matter where I have held meetings; but here are scattered brethren and sisters all around us who seldom go to meeting anywhere, hence have taken no part in this good work. You are the very ones who need these books the most,—the very ones who can do the most in scattering them where the truth has never been preached. You spend neither time nor money in attending meetings as others do; then spend so much the more in this good work. Shall we in N. H. and Mass. be behind in this work? God forbid. Then let us hear from you.

For Sale.
By John H. Waggoner
My property in Burlington, Calhoun Co., Mich., is for sale. It consists of eight village lots, containing two acres, with a comfortable house, excellent well and cistern, small barn, and choice fruit trees. Burlington is on the St. Joseph river, 15 miles south, and 5 miles east of Battle Creek; 15 miles from Marshall, county seat of Calhoun Co., and same distance from Coldwater, county seat of Branch Co., on the M. S. R. R.; and 12 miles from Ceresco, the nearest point on the Mich. Central R. R. It is the best situation in the village, and is a desirable property for a man who can stay at home and take care of it. The church at Burlington numbers about 40 members. They have a small house, large enough for ordinary meetings, and a quantity of lumber on hand toward building a larger house of worship. I will give a good bargain, as it is an object with me to sell. J. H. WAGGONER.
General Campmeeting
By Editor
We are happy to give the call in another column for a General Campmeeting. Meetings of this kind we believe are greatly needed both for our own spiritual good, and the promulgation of our views among the people. The time is somewhat limited this year; hence the necessity of greater exertion on the part of the brethren. It will probably be necessary for most to act upon their own knowledge or judgment in the matter of getting up tents, &c. But none should hesitate on this account. Do the best you can. Let there be a general rally, and a good commencement made at this meeting.
Sabbath Reform and Sunday Laws
By Editor
The article, “Sabbath Reform and Sunday Laws,” plainly states some of the great truths of the Sabbath question. It is truly gratifying that such an article should be permitted in the Independent, to go before its scores of thousands of readers. Some of them will remember its statements in the coming contest.
The article following, “Is it a Perversion?” was called out on this wise: A book by Wm. Sheldon, was recently published at the Voice of the West office, entitled “Adventism, What is it?” A large portion of this work is occupied in a presentation of the doctrine of the unconsciousness of the dead, and the destruction of the wicked. Upon this the Advent Herald offered a severe, but just and candid criticism, showing the bigoted and partial nature of the work, inasmuch as it totally ignored other bodies of Adventists who do not hold many of the views set forth in that work as Adventism. Thus those Adventists who still adhere to the teachings of the Advent Herald, have never embraced what is called the Life and Death Question. Seventh-day Adventists, and others, have no sympathy with any present definite time &c., &c.
In a seven-column article the Voice denounced the Herald's criticism as a perversion, and this called out the present article, which speaks for itself. We need only add that it is instructive to watch the course of such determined opponents of the Sabbath movement, as the late Joseph Marsh, and the present editor of the Voice of the West.
Aid for the Needy in Michigan

King was chosen to look after those who need help. Those in Ionia, Montcalm, Kent, Clinton, and other counties near by, who are in want, can address Bro. King, at Orleans, Ionia Co., Mich.

A Rule for Talkers.—
No one who wishes that conversation should be pleasant to his neighbors as well as himself, should speak more than two or three sentences at once. However much he may have to say, it will be all the more agreeably said for giving others the opportunity of assenting, illustrating, qualifying or even contradicting. The ball needs to be returned by the opposite player to make a lively game.—Blackwood's Magazine.
