DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: You have seen Bro. Waggoner’s report of how matters stand in this State, and now what shall be done about a tent? You have appointed a committee, and expect them to make arrangements for a camp-meeting. But one essential feature in preparing for such a meeting is to get a good tent pitched upon the grounds that will afford shelter for about a thousand persons. Then let each one do his or her duty in donating means and we will soon have a tent to be used for the good of the cause in Indiana.
The brethren at North Liberty, can raise $110.00 toward a tent immediately, and I have seen a few of the friends here, and have encouragement to go ahead. Will the leaders in the different parts of the State learn immediately how much can be done in each locality, and report to Bro. Wm. R. Carpenter, North Liberty, St. Joseph Co., Ind.
The scattered ones can report for themselves. Shall we hear from Bro. Cruzan, and also our Brethren at Ft. Wayne, Sr. Johnson and Bro. Bell, of Marshall Co., and various others? Send in your pledges immediately so that we may know what to depend upon. All money should be paid by the 10th of August.
The Camp-meeting committee have thought it duty to urge the matter as there is urgent need of a tent and no one else at present to see to it.
Wm. Covert.
To Brethren in Minnesota.

ALL Conference funds should be sent to W. I. Gibson, Rochester, Olmstead Co., Minn., and all reports to H. F. Phelps, Pine Island, Goodhue Co., Minn.

Metropolitan Methodist Church: National and Sacred Construction Details
As to the manner in which the Metropolitan Methodist church in Washington was made at once national and sacred, a writer in the Christian Advocate gives full particulars; “To give it a national character, seats were set apart for the President and his Cabinet, officers of the army and navy, and pews in the name of each State for their representatives in Congress. And, to add to its sacredness as the house of God, cedar was brought from Lebanon, and olive from Mount Olivet, for the altar, pulpit, and other wood-work of the church. Also marble from the debris of Solomon’s temple, for the pavement of the vestibule or outer court,”

New York Camp-Meeting.
By J. M. Lindsay; Daniel Bowe; Delos Green; C. W. Lindsey; S. I. Abbey; B. L. Whitney
This meeting will be held on the old camp-ground at Kirkville, N. Y., Aug. 6-12, 1872.
Those coming from the northern part of the State can take the Syracuse Northern R. R. at Sandy Creek for Syracuse. Trains on the N. Y. Central R. R. going east, that stop at Kirkville, leave Syracuse at 7 A. M., 2.05 and 5 P. M. Trains going west stop at K. 10.15 A. M., 4.15 and 8.50 P. M.
Teams to convey passengers to the ground will meet all trains.
It is hoped that an earnest effort will be made by the brethren in all parts of the Conference that there may be a full attendance at this meeting.
Tents can be rented as usual. Let all who can, provide themselves with tents for their own accommodation and that of their friends. But none need hesitate to come, who are unable to provide tents, as arrangements will be made for such. Bring empty bed-ticks and plenty of bedding. Straw will be furnished on the ground. As heretofore, provisions will be furnished at reasonable rates. There will also be a good assortment of our publications on hand. Let it be remembered that the meeting is to commence at the time appointed and hold according to appointment.
Be prompt in attendance and come prepared to stay till the meeting closes. We would earnestly invite Bro. and sister White to be present if consistent for them to do so.
