THE Vermont State Conference of S. D. Adventists will hold its next annual session at West Enosburg, Franklin Co., Vt., Friday, Sept. 13, 1867, at 9 o'clock A. M.

CONVOCATION MEETING IN VERMONT.

As there has been no Conference held in this State for more than two years, and the brethren and sisters in Vermont and Canada East greatly desire that a general meeting of several days be held for the Sabbath-keepers and friends within the limits of the Vermont State Conference; therefore I take the liberty of appointing a General Convocation Meeting to be held at West Enosburgh, Vt., commencing on Wednesday, Sept. 11, at 9 o'clock, A. M. and continuing till the Sunday evening following, excepting the 13th when the Vermont Conference will be held. It is expected that there will be a general attendance of brethren and sisters in this State. Those also that can come from adjoining States are cordially invited to attend. The church of Enosburgh are favorably situated to entertain a large gathering, and they are willing to do their part in this direction; yet in order that they may enjoy the benefit of the meeting with others, it is expected that the brethren will come prepared to take care of themselves as far as possible. Those coming by rail-road will come to St. Albans, and at 1 P. M. take the stage to Bakersfield where teams will meet them the 10th. The object of this meeting will be our mutual religious interest, and advancement in holiness. Let us be much in prayer that God's blessing may rest upon this Convocation Meeting. It is expected that Elder J. N. Andrews will be present. A. C. BOURDEAU.

PROVIDENCE permitting, I will meet with the brethren and sisters of Brodtville and Tafton, at Tafton, Wis., as Bro. Lewis may arrange, August 3 and 4. Will have prayer-meeting Sabbath morning at nine, preaching at 10 A. M., and at 3 P. M. Also, preaching first-day morning at half past ten, and at three. We hope all the Sabbath-keepers in that section of the country will be there both days if possible, especially Bro. Thompson from Cassville. Let all come hungering and thirsting for righteousness, and we shall be blessed. ISAAC SANBORN.

Stone is invited to be present. A. C. BOURDEAU.
