Important Meetings

By R. A. Underwood

AT the recent good camp-meeting held at Corry, Pa., it was arranged to hold eighteen or twenty general meetings in the West Pennsylvania Conference, in October and the early part of November. But a small portion of the membership in our conference was present at the camp-meeting, not more than one hundred and fifty adults being in attendance from the churches. It was felt that the blessings of the camp-meeting should be shared by all the brethren and sisters not present at the meeting; besides, our neighbors and friends in every community

would greatly enjoy these general meetings, and we hope that they will prove a great blessing and encouragement to the work in this conference.

Those representing the churches expressed a strong desire that meetings should be held as follows, ranging from two to four days in length:—

Millport, October 1, 2; Shinglehouse, October 3-5; Sunderlinville, October 7, 8; Jimtown, October 9-12; Coudersport, October 15-19; Ridgway, October 23-26; Lock Haven, October 28, 29; Clearfield, October 30 to November 2. These meetings are to be attended by Elders B. F. Kneeland, I. N. Williams, and G. L. West.

Bradford, October 2-5; North Warren, October 9-12; Erie, October 16-19; Corry, October 23-26; to be attended by Elders W. F. Swartz and W. A. Westworth.

Huntingdon, October 1, 2; Six Mile Run, October 3-6; Altoona, October 7-12; Johnstown, October 16-19; to be attended by Elders J. W. Watt and C. F. Ulrich.

Brother V. O. Punches will attend such of these meetings as he thinks will best advance the book work in the conference.

A large meeting will be held in Pittsburgh a little later, at the dedication of the church now undergoing repairs. Also a general meeting will be held with the German brethren in that city and its locality, and another with the colored brethren, besides one at Washington. The dates of these latter meetings in Pittsburgh and Washington will be announced later, but our brethren in the conference should plan to attend them on the first day. The meetings will begin on the evenings of the first day named, and both day and evening services will be held until the close. Let there be earnest prayers for great blessings at each of these meetings. Invite your friends and neighbors to attend. Where there is a paper published in the place, see that public notice is given of the meetings in advance, and also during the time of the meetings. We should pray for and expect great blessings. I shall attend as many of these meetings as consistent with other duties.

We shall make an effort to follow up the meetings with longer efforts wherever the interest among those not of our faith demands it. Therefore, brethren, do all you can to make these meetings a great blessing to yourselves and the community. R. A. UNDERWOOD.
