Appointment for the Maine Conference.
THE next session of the S. D. A. Maine Conference will be held with the church at Norridgewock, commencing Thursday, Oct. 7, 1869, at ten o'clock A. M., and continuing over Sabbath and first-day. It is important that each church treasurer should have his reports sent in to the secretary, H. C. Winslow, Topsham, immediately, so that he can have his report ready at the session of Conference. Also, we hope that all our brethren and sisters will see to it, that their S. B. pledges are all paid up before that time, so that we can have a clean record. Dear brethren and sisters, let nothing hinder you from coming to this meeting if you are in the enjoyment of health. It is an important meeting. Pray that the blessing of God may rest upon it. Come, and have your faith increased. Come, and get ready for the last trial. It is the earnest request of the Committee that Bro. and Sr. White, or some of the General Conference Committee be present with us. L. L. HOWARD, } Conf.

CHAS. STRATTON, The Illinois and Wisconsin Camp-meeting and State Conference.
THESE meetings will be held at Clinton Junction, Rock Co., on the Chicago and Northwestern, and Racine and Rock Island Railroads, commencing Sept. 23, and continuing to the 27th. The change of place for holding this meeting is for two reasons: First, Hundred Mile Grove is twenty miles from the railroad. Second, Bro. A. B. Williams writes, that in council with brethren of several churches, it was decided that Clinton was the place most convenient and central. It will be remembered that there is but one family of Sabbath-keepers at Clinton; therefore, all should come with tents, and preparation to take care of themselves. Hay and grain can be had at reasonable rates. The churches will please remember to send their delegates or letters to represent them in Conference. And may the Lord make this meeting a blessing to all.

R. F. ANDREWS. } P. S. Let those that can, come prepared to care for as many others as they can, and let our lonely and isolated brethren and sisters not stay away from this meeting because they cannot bring tents, as there can doubtless be lodging for such obtained in the tents that the brethren will bring on the ground.
