TENT-MEETINGS
Earlier text: TO THE FRIENDS OF THE CAUSE IN IOWA AND NEBRASKA

TO THE BRETHREN AND SISTERS

By Mary A. Remley

IN KENTUCKY.
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: As my heart is drawn toward you all, I take this method of addressing you.
Some weeks have passed since the Kentucky and Tennessee Conference was held; yet my heart is full of the sweet pleasure of meeting with God's chosen people. On my arrival at Bro. Barr's, I met but one familiar face—that of dear Bro. Osborn—but just as soon as each sister or brother met me with that warm Seventh-day Adventist grasp, all embarrassment and strange feeling passed away. It seemed as if one great happy family had come together. Oh, how I do love to let my mind revert to that happy meeting! I often find myself wishing I was back there.
It is a sad thought that we may never all meet again in this life or in the next. Let every one of us pray earnestly and work unceasingly for a happy meeting and a, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” I would say to those dear sisters who solicited an interest in my prayers that I have each day offered up earnest supplications for their safe landing on the happy shore. And to those who have not come out fully on the Lord's side, let me say, Do not put it off too long. Indifference is not pleasing to Christ. He did not thus enter upon his work; honor, riches and life were willingly sacrificed, that we might have an inheritance with him.
Our little church is striving hard; each member seems determined to renew his efforts to gain a place in Christ's kingdom. The cause in Kentucky is earnestly remembered by each one. While we pray fervently that a tent may come to this State, we plead that the minds of the people may be prepared to receive the truth when preached here again.
God is good, and his promises are true. I have great faith while praying to him. Last Sabbath we had a good meeting. The Spirit of God was with us. We are few, and often come short in our duties, yet I believe the Lord loves us and meets with us each Sabbath.
My health is still very poor. I trust you will remember me in your prayers.

Obituary Notices.

By A. S. Hutchins

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
DIED, of putrid erysipelas, in Stowe, Vt., April 15, 1876, Bro. Lewis Harlow, aged sixty-five years, Bro. Harlow and his companion, embraced the Sabbath of the Bible about twenty years ago. As a citizen he was highly esteemed as a man of integrity. In his sudden death the little company of Sabbath-keepers in Stowe sustain a heavy loss.
He expressed no wish to recover from his sickness, feeling a willingness to sleep till the Life-giver shall come. A companion and eight children mourn their loss. I visited this family in their affliction last week, and preached a funeral sermon in the meeting-house on the West Branch, in Stowe. A. S. HUTCHINS.

The Minnesota Camp-Meeting.

By Uriah Smith

WE are now, June 21, in the midst of the cotton village, on the Minnesota camp-ground. One of two things is evident, either our brethren are becoming more interested in camp-meeting occasions, or our cause is very perceptibly growing in all the States. We said one of these is true. We should say both; for we believe this is the case.
Meeting commenced at the appointed time, yesterday. And at this early point in the meeting fifty tents are up, and more expected. The campers exhibit the same good hope, courage, and confidence in the work, that we have seen in other places. The weather is fine. The meeting has started in well in every particular.

Fall of Sultan Abdul Aziz

The Christian Statesman says of the fall of Sultan Abdul Aziz, “His fall is no guaranty for religious or civil liberty, and the new ruler succeeds to a throne which rests on a heaving sea of trouble.”

Revolution and Assassinations in Constantinople

London, June 16.—A dispatch from Constantinople says another revolution has broken out. During a riot, Hassin Arni Pacha, minister of war and a leader of the young Turkish party, and the new minister of foreign affairs were both assassinated, and Achmed Pacha, minister of marine, was dangerously wounded. Further violence is feared from the mob.—Det. Evening News.

What We may Expect.

By M. K. W.

From an able article by Rev. James Wallace in the Christian Statesman, setting forth the reasons for the Christian Amendment of the Constitution, we take the following as clearly indicating the power which will soon be brought to bear, not only upon the Post-office Department but upon all those who do not keep the so-called Christian Sabbath:—
“There are at the present time some 30,000 post-offices in the United States, and except in some small and remote places the mails are received on the Christian Sabbath. And there are some 200,000 men employed and paid by the Federal government in the transportation of the United States mails. And on account of the desecration of the Lord’s holy day, Christians are excluded from carrying the mails, and from most of the post-offices in the United States, as really as if Congress had passed a law for that purpose.”
“When the Constitution is amended, Congress will have power to stop the transportation of the mails on the holy Sabbath, and the post-offices will be closed on that day. Then postmasters and those engaged in carrying the mails will have a right to rest from their labors on that day, and to enjoy the blessings of the worship of God. Then Christians will have the same rights in the Post-office Department of the government and in transporting the mails that infidels and wicked men have now. Then the profanation of the Lord’s day will not be a condition of mail service, and a man’s being a Christian will be no disqualification for a postmaster.”
If it be asked, “Would not the Jew be denied equality of rights by legislation protecting the Christian Sabbath and ignoring the rights of the Jews?” the answer is, “We are not a Jewish, but a Christian nation; therefore our legislation must be conformed to the institutions and spirit of Christianity.”
On the 28th, 29th, and 30th days of this month an annual meeting of the National Reform Convention is held in Philadelphia. At this time it will probably be seen how long before this power will be exercised by the government.—M. K. W. in SIGNS.

God Is Measuring Me

We need to live very close to the thought, “God is measuring me.” He cannot bear sin. Deficiency is the destruction of the soul. The holiness and justice of God will bring out the feeling of sin. There will come up in the heart the feeling, “I am lost.” Thus are we driven out of ourselves to take refuge in Christ. In him we are complete.

Severest Trials Expected Soon

A RELIGIOUS, writing from Rome to the editor of the Rosier de Marie, says, “The Sovereign Pontiff expects the severest trials for the church to come about in a very short time (the words avenir très prochain, and that in a very short time, were underlined in the letter), so he exhorts us to redouble our prayers.”

Vermont, Attention!

By H. Barrows; M. E. Kellogg; E. R. Bancroft

The Vermont Camp-Meeting will be held in a beautiful grove three-fourths of a mile north of Milton Station, on the Vermont Central R. R. Mail and accommodation trains will stop at the ground. Free return tickets will be furnished on the ground to all who pay full fare one way on the Vermont Central. Expect the same on the South-Eastern R. R. It will be necessary for those bringing tents to bring tent poles, as none can be obtained on the ground.
