THE IOWA CAMP-MEETING.

By George I. Butler

BY ELD. GEO. I. BUTLER.
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS OF THE IOWA CONFERENCE: As the time appointed for this meeting (June 3-8) draws near, I wish to say a few words to you through the REVIEW. The appointment was made with the expectation that this would be the largest camp meeting ever held by our people in the State of Iowa. Perhaps the city of Des Moines, the capital of our State, is, all things considered, the most central point for us, of any in the State. Railroads center here from six different directions, affording excellent opportunities to come without bringing teams. The spot in the city where it will be located, the Governor's Square, is a beautiful one, in full view of the magnificent State capitol, now in process of erection. A large stream from the city water-works a few rods from the ground, will furnish an abundance of water for man and beast. Ample provision will be made, so that all can obtain needed supplies as reasonably as possible.
This will be our regular annual camp-meeting, the anniversary of all our societies. It would be a sore disgrace to us if it should be thinly attended. Our people in this State were never more in need of the help afforded by such a meeting; many of them have had but little preaching the year past, and many are backslidden, cold, and indifferent, and must be aroused to a sense of their spiritual condition, or they will be lost. Just such labor as they require will be bestowed in our camp-meeting. We have earnestly invited Bro. and Sr. White to attend, and have still some hope that they will do so, though they may not. But there will be those present who can dispense to us the words of life, and provide for the people such spiritual food as they need. The great thing that we want is the presence of God to bless his people, and the presence of his people to be blessed.
We have reached an important time in the progress of the work, and a crisis in our State. We shall feel sad, indeed, if our people fail to come up to this camp-meeting. It will probably be the only general camp-meeting of our people held in the State during the present year. We want an old-fashioned turnout, and an old-fashioned blessing, that we may all go to work anew in the cause, and see the work prosper as formerly in our Conference.
We shall have a large supply of books at the meeting,—a general assortment of all our publications. The tract and missionary society will take a new departure this year in supplying books, and make more of this branch of the work than ever before. We shall be prepared to furnish all our ministers with books for the summer tent campaign, and also to supply colporters and agents.
Come, brethren and sisters, let us make a general rally to this meeting. We want all the old hands in the cause to come up for counsel and spiritual improvement, to lay plans for future labor, for T. and M. Institutes to be held, and for every good work that needs to be done. We want all those more recently converted to come, that their faith may be strengthened, and that they may gain an experience in the work of God. We want especially to see all our church and T. and M. officers. And every church should be properly represented. We hope to commence our meeting Wednesday night, and to have our business done up as much as possible before the Sabbath. Let us be on time.

WALKING IN THE LIGHT.

By Albert Stone

BY ELD. ALBERT STONE.
In this age of darkness it is a beautiful sight to behold one walking in the light. Such a one occupies an enviable position. The incorruptible seed, which is the word of God, has taken root in his heart. Fruit unto holiness is visible in his life, and there is a most cheering prospect that the end will be everlasting life. Blessed prospect! Such a one has learned important lessons in the school of Christ. Those who walk in the light do it from choice. The Christian living in the light has the promise of God’s blessing in this world, and of a glorious home in the world to come.
But he has not come into such a state without an effort of his own will. To be delivered from the power of darkness, and to be translated into the kingdom of God’s dear Son, is indeed a great change. In this life men do not experience a greater change. Such a one has seen the lightning flashes of Sinai, and heard the rolling thunders uttered on the mount of God. The angel of justice has met him on his way, and made to him alarming discoveries. The law of God has been laid across his heart and conscience, and in the language of the publican he has prayed, “God be merciful to me a sinner.”
From the time his prayer was answered he has reckoned himself a debtor to grace. He has become a new man; old things have passed away, and all things are become new. His affections and aspirations are elevated. He enjoys religion. He loves the truth. He loves the instrumentalities that made him what he is. He consecrates himself to God, and lays all that he has upon the altar. And having by the grace of God made these attainments, he feels that his life-work is but just begun. Till now he has done everything wrong. He faces square about. Having been taught by the law the nature of sin, and his own wretched state by nature, he beholds ineffable beauty and value in the cross of Christ. He enlists at once under the blood-stained banner, and counts it his highest ambition to become a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
He enters upon the work with becoming zeal. He takes his position as a sentinel at the citadel of his own heart, knowing that out of it are the issues of life, and that to fail here is to be fatally overcome. He feels that he has a solemn charge to walk in the light and to keep himself unspotted from the world. He considers that the glory of God and his immortal interests are united in his life-work. With this two-fold motive he applies himself to the duties of the Christian life. He watches, he prays, he believes, and he works.
His religion is not of a superficial character. It is not intermittent. It is not chaffy and exposed to be blown about with every wind of excitement. He may have trials and temptations, but in all these he is a practical overcomer, because he walks in the light. He watches with vigilance, and works with his might. He runs for the prize, and fights for the victory. He does not allow slackness in his work, that would prove a failure in worldly matters. He studies the tactics of the Christian warfare, and disciplines his mind in every branch of the service of God.

IOWA CAMP-MEETING SABBATH-SCHOOL.

By Leroy T. Nicola

A CAMP-MEETING Sabbath-school will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Des Moines, Sabbath morning, June 5. All who shall attend are earnestly invited to take part in the exercises and will be expected to do so. The first division will recite Lesson 19 of “Lessons for Little Ones.” Divisions two, three, and four will learn and recite their respective lessons appearing in the Instructor and Supplement for that date. A good supply of Instructors and Supplements will be on the ground. No efforts will be spared to make this school, in all respects, a model Sabbath-school. The young people of Iowa are expected to “turn out rank and file,” and attend this general Sabbath-school. LEROY T. NICOLA, Sec.

Publishers' Department.

By Editor

“Not slothful in business.” Rom. 12:11
Notice of expiration of subscription will be given by special stamp on the margin of the paper. We should be pleased to receive your renewal at once.

BOOK NOTICE.

WE have received from the publisher, Chas. H. Marot, 814 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, a copy of a work, entitled, “Civilization: Is its cause natural or supernatural?” The author takes the “supernatural” side of this question, and supports his propositions with candor and ability. We have perused the work with great pleasure. In this age when there is manifest among men such a disposition to cut loose from the Deity, and set themselves up as gods, seeking their origin through the dreary theory of evolution, which is of the earth earthy, we should be happy to see such works as this widely circulated. The work contains 140 large pages, nicely printed on fine paper; and may be had of the publishers as above for 50 cents.
WANTED.—A home for a motherless girl nine years of age. A Sabbath-keeping family who will adopt her as their own is preferred. Address Wm. H. Bradley, Rockford, Ill., Box 1195.
NOTICE.—Business pertaining to the Wisconsin Conference and T. and M. Society should be addressed to Eld. O. A. Olsen, Fort Howard, Wis. H. W. DECKER.
THE person or persons who are sending reading matter to Mrs. Mary C. Banner, Shulls Mills, Watauga Co., N. C., are requested to discontinue it.
ANY one having old REVIEWS, Signs of the Times, or tracts and pamphlets relating to present truth, which they wish distributed, will please send them to J. D. Row, Milan, Sumner Co., Kan. The reading matter is much needed here.
