New Jersey Conference

By B. F. Kneeland

THE ninth annual session of the New Jersey Conference will be held Jan. 17-22, 1911, in the Masonic Hall, Irvington Center, Newark, N. J. This meeting will deeply concern the interests of every Seventh-day Adventist in the State, and we trust that each church will see that a full delegation is sent to represent it at this gathering. The constitution provides that each church is entitled to one delegate without regard to numbers, and an additional representative for every ten members.

It has been planned to conduct convention work in connection with the conference business meetings, so as to make the session as helpful as possible to the members of our churches who may be able to attend. The first meeting of the conference will be held Tuesday, January 17, at 7:45 P. M. On Wednesday afternoon there will be a Sabbath-school convention; Thursday afternoon will be devoted to the Missionary Volunteer and educational work; Friday the special topic will be missionary work; and on Sunday afternoon there will be held a convention for church officers. We feel very anxious that these meetings shall be beneficial to our churches, and hope to see representatives from every church.

All who expect to attend should write at once to Elder W. H. Smith, 24 Myrtle Ave., Irvington, N. J., so that arrangements may be made for accommodations. Meals will be served in the same building in which the conference is held. The charge for board and room for the entire session will be $3 each.

Delegates' credentials should be sent at once by the clerk of the church to the conference secretary, C. Lawry, 1635 S. Broad St., Trenton, N. J.

Those coming by train should take either the Springfield Avenue or Broad Street car at the station in Newark, and go to Irvington Center, where the car stops in front of the hall. Those coming by trolley can transfer to Springfield and Broad cars at the corner of Broad and Market streets, Newark, without extra charge.

Excellent help has been promised by the General and union conferences for this meeting. We believe also that the Spirit of God will be present to bless us abundantly. Let us make the most of this opportunity, and pray that this conference may be very helpful to the work of God in this State.

B. F. KNEELAND, President.
