Eastern Pennsylvania Conference

The first annual session of the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, for the election of officers and the transaction of such other business as necessary, will be held in the Adventist chapel at Williamsport, Pa., April 14-20. The first meeting will be held Thursday evening, and the first business meeting of the delegates will be held Friday, April 15, at 10:30 A. M. Each church is entitled to one delegate for its organization, and one additional delegate for each ten members.
In the judgment of the conference committee there are reasons sufficient for calling a meeting of the conference at this early date. Doubtless there will be no camp-meeting held in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference the present season, and a division is soon to take place in the tract society work and management between the Eastern and Western Pennsylvania Conferences. Other important matters will also require a meeting of the delegates and laborers for counsel at this time.
Each church should be represented by one or more delegates. The conference will be held in the chapel connected with the tract society building. Delegates should come prepared to care for themselves, the same as at a regular camp-meeting. A dining-table will be conducted, and tickets can be secured at the rate of six for one dollar. Rooms can be rented for lodging in the city. Those desirous of doing so can bring bedding. Cots and beds can be arranged for in the tract society building, so that lodging will not be very expensive for those willing to take up with such arrangements.
We hope to secure a reduction of one third on railroad fare on round-trip tickets. Write to V. H. Cook for rates and card orders. All churches should elect delegates to the conference at once. As soon as possible notify V. H. Cook, at Williamsport, Pa., of the number who will come from your church, and of what they will need in the way of rooms, etc.
Good help will be present from the union conference, and it is hoped the meeting will be a great blessing to the cause in this conference. Let all come praying for the outpouring of the Spirit as the all-conquering power in this work.
In behalf of Conference Committee.
R. A. UNDERWOOD, President.
