THE CONFERENCE.

By Editor

The time for our annual gatherings, General Conference, Publishing Association, &c., is approaching. These meetings will probably be held about the middle of May. Who is preparing to come? It is desired that there should be a general representation of the genuine whole-hearted lovers of truth, from all parts of the field. And not only do we inquire, Who are arranging their temporal matters so as to be here; but we raise the more important inquiry, Who are seeking the requisite heart work? How many are getting ready to help as well as to be helped, in the meetings? The occasion will be one of great importance; never more so. And we would that every individual who comes, might come with that love to God and man, that interest in the great cause of truth, and that living zeal to help on the work, which is found only in the enjoyment of a near communion with God. In addition to our usual amount of business, there will be the organization of the Association to hold the Health Institute. Meetings will have to commence as early in the week as Tuesday; and hence delegates to Gen. Conference, should reach here the week before. It is proposed to spend the Sabbath before the Conference as a day of general fasting and prayer. More particulars hereafter.
