WISCONSIN CONVOCATION NOTICE.

By John Harvey Waggoner; J. M. Aldrich; G. W. Amadon; W. C. Gage

ON receiving the article from Bro. White, entitled “Future Labors,” there was a consultation held in the Office, and the following points were considered:

1. Bro. White’s opinion is that it is appointed at the wrong time.

2. It is also his opinion that Bro. J. N. Andrews will not be present at that meeting, if held at the time appointed.

3. It seems to be necessary that one of the General Conference Committee should be present at such meetings; and if no one should be, we heartily concur in Bro. White’s opinion, that it will fail to accomplish the end desired.

4. We have no time to correspond with the Wisconsin Committee in regard to the matter, and to give them opportunity to examine the reasons for a reconsideration of their action.

Therefore, we take the liberty to say that the Convocation Meeting of Wisconsin is postponed for the present, and would suggest that the labors of one of the Gen. Conf. Committee be secured for the meeting.

We trust the brethren in Wisconsin will not be tried with us for our action. We do not take the responsibility of this step without careful consideration; and we think time will convince all that this is the most prudent course for us to pursue.

We expect immediate correspondence will be held between the Gen. Conf. Com. and the Wis. Conf. Com.

J. H. WAGGONER, J. M. ALDRICH, G. W. AMADON, W. C. GAGE.
