Some of the canvassers have started out whose
reports do not appear this week but will in our next
issue.
Bro. D. A. Deedon started last week and had
quite good success for which he is thankful and of
good courage.
Bro. J. M. Little starts next week for his field of
labor.
Julia Johnson says that although she has not
taken very many orders the past week, it has been a
week of rejoicing for her, as she has had so many
opportunities to talk of the love of God, and cheer
some down-hearted soul every day,

Bro. Hiliard was crowded out, or left out because it
would keep better than other ‘articles that were
necessary to appear in relation to the Camp-meeting.

Bro. C. M. Teachout who was helping to prepare
the Camp-ground Tuesday, received word from home
in south Minneapolis that his son, Millious, had been
kicked by a vicious horse; hurrying home he found
his son badly hurt about the face, and one limb
bruised and cut.

We have a few copies of the Special number of
the Sentinel that we will sell at one-half cent each,
post-paid, as long as they last. They are just as
good to circulate now as two weeks ago as the princi-
ples it contains are never old. Order at once of Min-
nesota Tract Society.

Preliminary work on the Camp-ground has al-
ready begun, and several of our ministering breth-
ren have already come in from their fields of labor to
assist in preparing the Camp; among the latest ar-
rivals we notice Eld. J. H. Behrens, C. H. Parker;
Bro. Moon and family of Eagle Lake arrived Monday
evening and will take charge of the dining tent.

As we go to press a gentle rain is falling, and
all nature is drinking in the life-giving water, mak-
ing old earth look young and fresh again with green
leaves, grass, and fragrant flowers; reminding one of
the earth made new, exceptingas the blighting curse
of sin is seen in the dead and withered leaves and fad-
ing flowers, and the memory of the funeral trains
that pass our office window nearly every day, telling
the sad story that sin and death is not yet abolished.

Orders for the Minneapolis Times are coming in
very slowly and we fear many are waiting till they
come to Camp-meeting before giving in their orders,
and will be disappointed with the result as the re-
ports will begin to be printed the week of the Work-
ers’ Meeting; and by the time your order would be in
to the publishers (if you wait till you come to the reg-
ular Camp-meeting) three-fourths of the reports will
have been published and you are liable to miss them.
Order at once.

Our Camp-meeting will be quite thorougly ad-
vertised throughout the State this year before it be-
gins, as we have made arrangements with the pub-
lishers of the Signs of the Times "to print a special
Camp-meeting edition of May 20, advertising the
meeting in Minnesota on the covers of the Signs.
Besides the 1,260 copies coming to the regular sub-
scribers in Minnesota we have ordered 1,500 extra
copies of this issue to be distributed in St. Paul and
Minneapolis, just before the meeting begins,
The money expended in the purchase of these
papers will not be lost if no (ne is induced to attend
the meeting from reading the advertisement; for the
people will have a good missionary paper placed in
their hands, and the seeds of truth will be sown.
The Husbandman will see to the watering thereof.
