ON returning from the Minnesota Conference I spent a few days with the church in Waukon, Iowa. I was very grateful for this privilege. From Waukon I came by way of Prairie du Chien, Milwaukee, Grand Haven, and Ionia, to Greenville, Mich. I have spent a few days in this vicinity in labor of various kinds. Have been profited by the season which I have spent with Bro. and Sr. White. Their labors are abundant, and untiring. The forthcoming volume of Spiritual Gifts will contain matter of the greatest interest to the people of God.
We are now busy in preparing for the campmeeting at Wright. We hope for the abundant blessing of God upon this meeting. After the meeting at Wright I hope to return directly home.

A Response.
By James White
To Elders Sanborn, Blanchard, and Andrews, of the Wisconsin and Illinois Conference, I wish to say, that at the time the appointment for the Convocation in Wisconsin appeared in the REVIEW, I supposed that was the General Convocation of that Conference for the present year. I have known nothing of the proposed Convocation at Clyde, Ills., Sept. 3, until the meeting in Wisconsin was given up. Where duty will call us after Camp-meeting is a matter of uncertainty. The season for such meetings is rapidly passing. As soon as we can decide the matter of going out of the State, and where, we will give notice.

The Camp-meeting.
By James White
EVERY church in Michigan should have a tent upon the ground. Our largest churches should have from three to six tents. We hope to see a goodly number of tents from the West and from the East. We shall expect to see a very large gathering of brethren from the different States.
There will be a good supply of all our publications, and of Bibles on the ground. Life Incidents, Bro. Smith’s work on the Visions, and Testimony to the Church, No. 16, will be on the ground in sufficient quantity to supply all present, and all who send for these works by those who attend the Camp-meeting.
A full Catalogue of Important Publications on Prophecy and other Bible subjects issued at this Office, sent free on application.

The Sabbath question in a nutshell.
By Editor
The S. D. A. Publishing Association has just issued a little tract of 4 pages, entitled, “Which day do you keep, and Why?” This tract sets forth nineteen Scripture facts in regard to the Sabbath; and thirteen facts respecting the first day of the week, accompanied with remarks forcibly setting home the force of these facts to the conscience of the reader. It presents, at a glance, the ground upon which rests the issue between the Sabbath and first day of the week. It is short but comprehensive; it is Bible and therefore immutable. The last page contains notice of the Association and its work. We should be glad to see a copy placed in every family in the United States. Price 25 cts. per hundred.
Life Incidents.
By John Nevins Andrews
This new work by Bro. White will be found worthy of attentive perusal by all our people. It treats of subjects of the most serious importance, yet in such a manner as to arrest the attention of the reader and to insure his perusal of the whole work. Those who are interested in the original Advent movement will read this work with much satisfaction. Those who desire to understand the grounds of difference between the S. D. Adventists and other classes of Adventists, can gain such information from this work. The history of the past Advent disappointment sheds great light on the present position of Adventists. To their past history an appeal is made in this work. The candid reader will see that the original Advent movement led directly to the position now occupied by the S. D. Advent people.
The book is of value as presenting the life of a faithful minister of Christ. It also gives some of the labors of Sr. White, and the character of her work. But far above the interest which attaches to the life of any individual is that which attaches to the history of that movement by which God has warned the world of its coming doom. We invite all classes of our Advent friends to give this work a candid perusal. We also recommend the work to thoughtful men everywhere.

In Battle Creek.
By James White
ON receiving Review No. 8, I was disappointed to see that the extended Camp-meeting notice sent to the Review by the General Conference Committee, had not been received in time for that paper. I immediately wrote another notice, which is given in this paper, and mailed it for the office. I also sent a telegram postponing the meeting to Sept. 1–7. Fearing still that there might be some failure in the matter of appointment, we have come across the country eighty miles by private carriage, and have just arrived in season to see that all is right before the last side of the Review goes to press. I here learn that the two notices, mailed at the same place, but one week apart, both reached the office last evening, Aug. 15th.
It being important that the brethren should have all the particulars as to tents, &c., in season to make ample preparations, the time of the meeting is changed to Sept. 1–7. This will give our brethren in the State more time to prepare for seeding, which can be done in season after the meeting. I shall have a tent of my own upon the ground, and I am gratified to know that our people in many places are taking hold of the matter in a spirited manner. Let there be a general rally from all parts of the field.
Our post office address till after Camp-meeting, will be Berlin, Ottawa Co., Mich.

The Wright Camp-Meeting Tent
By James White
I have purchased a 60-feet tent, which will be pitched on the Camp-ground at Wright. Cost of tent and transportation, about $850. The brethren who attend the meeting should take their purses along with them, that they may be able to meet this and other smaller bills.
JAMES WHITE.
Campmeeting Postponed!
THE proposed campmeeting at Wright, Mich., appointed last week for Aug. 26–31, is postponed one week, and will be held Sept. 1–7. This will give the brethren more time to prepare, and insure, we trust, a more full attendance.
Sabbath Question Dialogue in Tract Form
The dialogue on the Sabbath question, published in this paper, is issued in tract form by Bro. J. M. Mosher, Westerly, R. I. If any wish it for use in Sabbath schools, they can obtain it of him.
Answers to Correspondents
H. C. B. At what time were the lines you refer to sent? They do not now appear among our papers. We think it was decided not to use them.
J. C. G.: Yes.
J STACY: What is the given name of the Sr. Johnson, whose P. O. you inquire? or the name of the husband?

LIFE Incidents will be ready by the time of the campmeeting at Wright. I shall have a sufficient supply upon the ground to supply all present at the meeting, and for them to take home with them to their brethren, and thus save postage and express bills. If you cannot come to the campmeeting, send for the book by some one who is coming.
Price, $1,00, postage 12 cents.
