THE NEW ENGLAND CAMP-MEETING.

THIS meeting which has always been one of special interest to the friends in the New England Conference, will be held this year on the old South Lancaster, Mass., camp-ground commencing Sept. 1, and continuing to Sept. 6.

The ground is one of the pleasantest in New England, as those will testify who have previously attended the meetings held upon it; and also convenient of access from all parts of New England. Cars direct from Portland, Me., via Nashua, N. H., also Boston and Worcester, Mass., pass by, and will doubtless stop at the ground several times every day. The route from Fitchburg, Mass., and points north, is also direct via the Old Colony Road to Clinton, a station about one-half mile from the ground and on the Worcester and Nashua Road. The usual reduction of fare on these roads will be secured as heretofore, and doubtless on some of the roads leading to these large cities, over which our friends will pass. Persons coming from Danvers, Newburyport, Haverhill and that vicinity will come via Boston, and from thence, with all other passengers from Boston, over the Boston and Fitchburg road via Ayer. From Rhode Island and Connecticut via Worcester; from New Bedford, Mass., over the Old Colony road to Clinton.

Trains leave Worcester 6:30, 7:30, 11:15 A. M., 5 and 6:15 P. M. Sundays 7 A. M. Nashua 7:05, 11:55, A. M., 3:55 and 5:50 P. M. Sunday, 5:P. M. These trains all stop at Clinton, also at South Lancaster with the exception of the 7:30 train from Worcester.

This will probably be the largest camp-meeting of S. D. Adventists ever held in New England. All who are at all interested should commence at once to lay their plans to attend. A cordial invitation is extended to people of other denominations, especially such as may have become interested in our publications.

Speakers from abroad will be present. Provision will be made on or near the ground for man and beast. S. N. HASKELL.

Those wishing to rent tents for the N. E. camp-meeting can do so by immediately corresponding with Eld. S. N. Haskell, South Lancaster, Mass.

SAN FRANCISCO.

By M. C. Israel

DURING the past week, Elder I. D. Van Horn has been holding a series of meetings with the church here which closed with two meetings on the Sabbath. The text from which he preached in the morning was Rev. 12:17. The remnant church, the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. In the afternoon from Matt. 16:18, Christ the Rock.

The word spoken was sent home to the hearts of the hearers by the Spirit of God, and one of the most spirited social meetings followed that the church has enjoyed for some time. It was good to be there. At the close, Brethren H. C. Palmer and Andrew Brorson, who had been elected deacons, were ordained. The Lord is good and greatly to be praised. He comes near to us when we humble ourselves and take a step in the right direction. Brethren and sisters let us "go forward."

MAGNIFICENT PREMIUM OFFER.

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES

—WITH— ### GEIKIE'S LIFE OF CHRIST.

It is the determination of the publishers of the SIGNS to increase their list of subscribers by several thousand names during the next few months. To accomplish this, the following very liberal offer is made: To each new subscriber to the SIGNS OF THE TIMES we will give a copy of Cunningham Geikie's magnificently written and intensely interesting and instructive work, "The Life and Words of Christ, a volume of over eight hundred pages. The charge for postage and wrapping will be ten cents extra, making the cost of both Book and Paper only $2.10.

The "Life and Words of Christ," by Cunningham Geikie, D. D., is widely known as one of the most interesting and helpful books published. The author has not, like many other writers upon the Life of Christ, contented himself by giving the reader a running commentary on the four Gospels, but has by clear description of the country and people, and by a grouping of historical facts, given such an introduction as prepares the mind to better understand the acts of Jesus.

A great and noble work, rich in information, elegant and scholarly in style, earnestly devout in feeling.—London Literary World.

A work of gigantic industry, of the highest literary rank, and breathing the spirit of true faith in Christ.—Dr. Delitzsch, the Commentator.

It seems to me among books a pearl of great price, and a man might well sell a thousand others to become possessor of this one.—Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Will last when we have all passed away—is by far the best.—Rev. C. H. Spurgeon.

Geikie is more careful and accurate, and he makes clear many points which require the aid of a painstaking worker like himself.—S. S. Times.

This is a work of profound learning, and I am not surprised at the great success which it has already attained. I would not willingly be without it.—The Archbishop of York.

THE COMPARATIVE EDITION

By Editor

OF THE -

NEW TESTAMENT,

EMBRACING THE Revised and the Old or King James Versions, on Opposite and Corresponding Pages. 8 Vo. Long Primer, Price $1.50. 16 mo. Brevier. Price 75 cts. Postage Paid.

AS THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE in the revision of the New Testament are now exciting a great deal of interest, and comparison between the New and Old Versions will be constantly made, we have secured a comparative edition containing the two versions arranged on opposite pages, so that the alterations can be seen at a glance. This arrangement makes the work one of great popular value, as it does away with the necessity of using two books, and saves the time that would be occupied in seeking corresponding passages.
