STATE CONFERENCE IN MAINE.

By John Nevins Andrews; L. L. Howard

It is the judgment of the preaching brethren in Maine, and that of the different churches of the State, that a Maine Conference should be organized this fall. In their judgment the General Conference Committee concur. It is therefore requested that all the churches in the State send delegates to meet at Norridgewock, Nov. 1st, for the purpose of organizing a State Conference, and for the transaction of business that may properly come before the body. We request not only organized but unorganized bodies of brethren, if such there are, to send a representation; and we also invite scattered brethren who live remote from others to attend and participate in this meeting. Those who come to take part in the transaction of business should reach N. on Thursday evening October 31st, and they should bring credentials attesting their election by the churches of which they are members. They are requested also to bring a report of the condition of the church which they represent. The various church treasurers should be prepared to settle their accounts up to Nov. 1st, as the money will all be needed at that time.

Our meeting will be at a season of the year when quilts and buffalo robes will be in good demand. Those therefore, who can bring these are requested to do so. We hope the churches in the vicinity of Norridgewock will do what they can to share the burden with the brethren in N. Finally brethren let us seek the blessing of God upon our meeting, that it may give a new impetus to the cause of truth in Maine.
