To the Brethren of the Illinois and Wisconsin State Conference.

By ISAAC SANBORN

As Brn. R. F. Andrews and H. C. Blanchard have urgently called our attention to the importance of making proper preparation to attend the Convocation Meeting that is to be held at Johnstown Center, Rock Co., Wis., ten miles east of Janesville, and eight miles south of Milton Junction, I hope no pains will be spared in preparing to attend this feast of Tabernacles. We expect to pitch the large tent in a beautiful grove within fifteen rods of my house; and we would like to see forty tents around it. Eighty yards of factory will make a tent fifteen feet long, and nine feet wide, with a wall six feet high, and a fly, that is a double top, which makes it perfectly dry in time of rain. Such a tent will not cost more than $16.00, and they should be made and kept to attend these large meetings. We hope to see the largest gathering of Sabbath-keepers at this meeting—that has ever met in this Conference. The Johnstown church especially invites the lonely and scattered ones to come and bring all their interested friends. Those who come by railroad should be at Janesville the day before the meeting, where teams will meet them. Should they reach there on Monday night, they will please go to the American Hotel. May the Lord grant a general interest in this meeting, is my prayer.
