CAMP-MEETING FOR EASTERN KENTUCKY.
By Smith Sharp
In order to accommodate our people in the northern part of the Cumberland Mission Field, a local camp-meeting is appointed at Frankfort, Ky., June 28 to July 8.
Elders Albee and Brunson, and other laborers that usually attend in the Southern field, will be at this meeting from the beginning to the close.
As there may not enough come by rail to secure reduced fare on the certificate plan, it is probably best for our people to come in companies of ten or more, buying one round-trip ticket for all that come from any one point, which can be done in case there are ten or more that come together which will make the rate the same as on the certificate plan. Tents will be on the grounds to rent at two dollars each, and there will be a dining tent, conducted by cooks from the Battle Creek Sanitarium, where meals will be furnished at fifteen cents each. Street cars will bring you from the depot to the grounds, at the south end of the bridge over the Kentucky River. Provision will be made to bring baggage at a low rate.
It is very desirable that our people generally attend this meeting. At the last meeting of the General Conference Committee, it was recommended that the Cumberland Mission Field be organized into a Conference, and at this meeting, and at the one to be held in Harriman, Tenn., in September, the matter will be submitted to our brethren and sisters. We certainly hope for a general attendance. Write me at Newport, Ky., for further particulars. SMITH SHARP.
PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS.
By Editor
“The teachers, the leading men among the people, must be called. To them the invitation must be given. . . . If one teacher is won to the truth, he will be able to communicate to many others the light received.”
The foregoing statement means much to Christian teachers who are not actively engaged in Christian education. Many are now teaching for the world, who desire to connect with Christian educational work as soon as there is an opportunity. We wish the names and addresses of such persons at once.
The friends of such teachers are requested to give us the names of all the Christian teachers they know. Please address E. A. Sutherland, Battle Creek, Mich.
Joint Camp-Meeting of the Pennsylvania and Atlantic Conferences.
By R. A. Underwood
Arrangements have been made with the Atlantic Conference to join us in our camp-meeting at Philadelphia. We believe that this union of the two Conferences in a camp-meeting will result in great good. Let everybody come, who can; and you who do not come, pray that a glorious victory may be gained for the cause of truth in Philadelphia, and that great good may come to those who attend. Let all take notice of the directions how to reach the camp after arriving at Broad Street station. Those who can not come, in both conferences, should have The North American to read during the two weeks of the meeting. Orders for tents, already sent in, assure us that we shall have a good attendance. Card orders for one-third railroad fare can be secured of W. M. Lee, Williamsport, Pa. The location of the camp is on a beautiful lawn, 4700 North Fifth St., Philadelphia. Street cars pass the grounds. The North American can be obtained during the two weeks of the meeting for the small sum of twelve cents. Send in your subscriptions to W. M. Lee, Box 614, Williamsport, Pa. The Pennsylvania Gleaner contained the following instructions in regard to railroad rates, etc.:—
The usual rate of two cents a mile has been granted to the conference and camp-meeting at Philadelphia, June 7 to 17, by the Trunk Line Association. This rate will be allowed, from points in Pennsylvania, on card orders, by the following roads: Delaware Lackawanna & Western, Lehigh Valley, Central Railroad of New Jersey, Philadelphia & Reading, and Pennsylvania railroads. Tickets will be good going from June 4-12; returning to June 20, inclusive.
To reach the grounds: All persons coming over the Pennsylvania lines will arrive at Broad Street station, then buy a local ticket to North Penn Junction for ten cents, rechecking baggage. The Fox Chase cars pass the depot, and run to the grounds, one mile north.
Those coming over the Reading lines, or over the Lehigh Valley and changing to the Reading at Bethlehem, must be sure to check their baggage to Columbia Avenue Station, but get off themselves at the Terminal depot, and take the cars east on Market to Fifth Street and change, taking Fox Chase car up Fifth to the grounds. Buy an exchange ticket on the Market Street car, costing eight cents.
Leave your checks at the book stand on the grounds, and your baggage will be hauled at the best possible rates.
R. A. Underwood.
SPECIAL NOTICE.
AFTER July 1 the price of the Missionary Magazine will be fifty cents a year; to foreign countries, seventy-five cents. This decision was reached at the recent meeting of the Foreign Mission Board, after carefully considering the question in all its phases.
The Missionary Magazine has been published at a loss from its first issue, this heritage having been received from the Home Missionary, out of which it emerged. The subscription-list has more than doubled, and yet the cost of the paper has been about twice the subscription-price, and it will be impossible ever to secure a list sufficiently large to make it self-supporting at twenty-five cents. Because of this, the price was raised to fifty cents, which will practically pay the cost of publication.
The Magazine has been before our people more than two years, so that they can judge of its value. It has been printed on better paper than the Home Missionary, and bound with good paper covers. And besides this, it has been materially enlarged, and made more valuable by the addition of illustrations and other important information. It is the aim of the publishers to endeavor to increase, rather than diminish, its value.
We are now offering our people, for fifty cents a year, a good forty-eight-page monthly, equal in value and size to many missionary journals which range in price from seventy-five cents to $1.50.
The Missionary Magazine and Sentinel of Liberty—formerly the American Sentinel—will be clubbed together for $1.25. Let all orders be sent as heretofore, either through the State tract society or direct to the Foreign Mission Board of Seventh-day Adventists, Room 1906, 150 Nassau St., New York, N. Y.

Why Every Adventist Should Own the Testimonies
Every Seventh-Day Adventist should possess a set of the “Testimonies for the Church” and read them. They are a message from the Lord to the ancient men, to the middle aged, to the youth, and the children.
Through the Spirit of Prophecy it is the Lord’s good pleasure to give to his remnant people counsel, instruction, and warning in matters pertaining to doctrine; points of faith; what the Christian’s home should be; marriage; relation of husband and wife; duty of parents to their children, and children to parents; child training; how to overcome wrong habits formed in early years; church officers and their duties; advice to the general conference, publishing houses, sanitariums, educational and other institutions; also concerning wills, legacies, and endowments.
Every church member should be familiar with the instruction contained in the Testimonies. In them is recounted the blessing of the Lord to the faithful of past ages, and setting forth the great loss to individuals of to-day who fail to heed his counsel, instruction, and warning which they contain. You should read them, and loan them to your neighbors and friends.
Nos. 1 to 33 are bound in five volumes, containing about 700 pages each. A copious index of subjects.

Let each church take an active part in this work and order a good supply of the tracts. A copy of the “Open Letter,” should be in the hands of every minister of the gospel and church worker.
Special price on this “Open Letter,” 20 cents per hundred. In quantities of less than one hundred the price will be one-half cent each. Send your order to your tract society, or to the—

Library for Bible Study
By Editor
Is a new quarterly publication which is now issued by the REVIEW AND HERALD PUB. CO., one in Swedish and one in Danish. It is of same size as “Bible Student’s Library” in English, and its purpose is to facilitate the spread of present truth among the Scandinavians. The yearly subscription is only 10c.
The first number of the Swedish treats on “The Seal of God and the Mark of the Beast.” It contains several striking illustrations. Number two will be the “Marshaling of the Nations,” by Prof. A. T. Jones.
The first number of the Danish is “The Reign of Righteousness.” The next number will treat on “Last-Day Tokens.”
We trust our American brethren will interest themselves for these new publications in Swedish and Danish, by helping to give them a wide circulation.
