Wisconsin Camp-Meeting.
As we understand that there will not be a camp-meeting in Illinois this year, it is thought best by the President of the General Conference and also by the Wisconsin Conference Committee to hold our camp-meeting this year at Clear Lake, where we held it two years ago. This is about one mile from Milton Junction, in Rock Co., Wis. The time of the meeting is June 19–23, 1873. We cordially invite all Sabbath-keepers in the vicinity to freely participate with us in the exercises of the meeting. We also cordially invite all our brethren and sisters from the Illinois Conference to join us in this meeting. Bring on your tents and let us all try in the fear of God to make it the best and most profitable meeting we have ever had.
We hope all who come to the camp-meeting will come in time to have their tents pitched Wednesday, without fail, and come to stay till the meeting is closed. Bring your interested friends with you. Let all bring empty ticks with plenty of bedding. Let none stay away because they have no tents, but come along and you will be provided for. Provisions, and feed for teams, can be had on the ground at reasonable rates.

Raymond, Wis. Dear brethren: I am glad to hear from you through Advent Tidende. I am also very thankful for the light and exhortations which we obtain through our dear paper. The work in this place is onward, and we realize that the Spirit of God is at work among us. We are building a meeting-house which we hope to finish this summer. Some have lately embraced the truth, and there is some prospect of spiritual prosperity. We are trying to fight the good fight, that we at last may obtain the crown.

Minister's Funeral Discourse for a Famous Skater
Nordisk Folkeblad says: A minister in Minnesota preached a funeral discourse over a very renowned skater. “He is now gone” said he, “where there is neither ice nor snow.” The friends of the deceased looked inquiringly on each other. They could not understand what the minister meant. Probably he himself did not understand it.
News Items.
KANSAS and Iowa have lately been visited with storms of terrible severity. In Kansas, the rivers have overflowed their banks and great damage has resulted to the farmers. And so also in Iowa, with the addition of a tornado in Keokuk and Washington Counties, May 22. By many it is thought to be the severest that has ever visited the Western country,—but this is probably not the case. More damage results from such storms now than years ago, as the country is more thickly settled.
The Chicago Tribune of May 25 contains a lengthy account of its ravages, referring to which the Detroit Post says:
“Unlike many first reports of disaster, that of the tornado in Iowa does not diminish on investigation. A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, who has been over the ground, more than confirms the destruction which it caused and the terror it created. The amount of damage in money is estimated at seventy-five thousand dollars; but the loss of life cannot yet be accurately ascertained. So far as is known, fifteen were killed and thirty-three wounded, some of whom may yet die.”
It arose near Lancaster, Keokuk County, nearly destroying the town, and passed in a north-east course about five miles north of Washington. It was accompanied with a deluge of water and large hail.

A Heavy Fire in Boston!
A fire broke out on Washington St., on Friday, May 30, destroying both sides of the street from Essex St. northward. Loss estimated at a million and a quarter of dollars.
Answers to Correspondents.
By J. H. W.
Question. A seventh-day Sabbath-keeper sells fifty cords of wood to a man who does not keep the Sabbath, who opens the gates of the Sabbath-keeper and hauls wood from his premises on the Sabbath-day. Is the man who sold the wood responsible for violation of the Sabbath in such a case?
Ans. This is a practical question and demands an answer, and it appears that the answer is plain.
1. The terms of the fourth commandment make a person responsible for that which is done on his premises, provided he has power to control it. This must be the interpretation of the command that “thy stranger that is within thy gates” shall rest upon the Sabbath.
2. Although the wood belonged to another man that fact does not give the buyer the right to abuse the premises of the seller in taking away his property. If no reserve is made, however, and the buyer does not know that it is an infringement to labor on the premises on the seventh day, then the whole responsibility of the wrong rests on the professed Sabbath-keeper. The only safe course is to always have a clear understanding that the Sabbath shall not be violated in fulfilling contracts.
Question. We are solicited to unite with a society known as Farmer’s Grange. Can you inform us what is its object and is it right for us to join it?
Ans. The avowed object of these societies is opposition to railroad monopoly, especially as regards the high prices of freight transportation. They are increasing very fast, and it is impossible to judge in what they will result. Whether they will be able to accomplish their purpose, is by many considered very doubtful. It seems to be prudent to avoid connection with secular “societies,” especially if their object is not fully understood. J. H. W.
