st. Adams District Camp Meetings,

~---H
BY vote of the association last year, the
Morrisville meetings this year was to
commence Wednesday, August 18th, and
continue until the next week, no particular
day being mentioned for the closing. But
by mutual agreement it has been subse-
quently arranged that the state temper
ance meetings shall be held on the Morris
vile ground, August 18th 18th and 10th.
This arrangement 1t will be seen runs the
temperance meeting two days on to the
camp meetings time; but it is believed
that this will be no disadvantage to the
meeting. especially If all parties intending
to have tents, will have them up in time
for the temp france meeting, and thus add
interest and derive profit from that meet.
ing. First class speakers have been
engaged to occupy the three days devoted
to temperance work; after which the camp
meeting proper will be carried forward
according to the usual methods.
The Mssisquoi valley camp meeting in
the town of Sheldon will commence Aug.
ust 22d, and continue one week.
Both of these grounds will have been
greatly improved from last year having
new seats with backs, enlarged boarding
house capacity, etc., all having reference
to the convenience and comfort OF the
public
issincerely desired that all the churhes
in the vicinity of these meetings will
make special effort to be present and
participate in the labor and profit of the
same.

of suffrage in Vermont, al d to further the
work there, is arranging for a series oil
meetings in that state for the months OF
September and October nexl, Mrs. M. l..
I. Hidden of Craftsbury has undertaken
the necessary correspondence. She can be
much aided in the work if the friends in
all parts of the state, who wish to hear the
question presented candidly and clearly,
will communicate with her at once, stating
particulars of halls, railroad, o." other
conveyance, entertainment, etc. There
will be no expense for the speaker, but it
is very desirable that the local expense
should be assumed by those who have the
benefit of the meetings.

friend of the cause from the first. She
