Southern Illinois Conference
By J. M. Rees
THE second annual conference of the Southern Illinois Conference will convene in connection with the camp-meeting at Decatur, August 17-28. We are expecting a large gathering of our people at this meeting. All members in good standing in the churches in the Southern Illinois Conference will be delegates, and will have part in the deliberations of the conference. This is the year for our people to attend the camp-meeting by families. Also bring your friends with you. You need not be afraid that your business will suffer at home if you leave it all in the care of the Lord. Among the good help which will be present, will be Elder S. N. Haskell, one of the Lord's tried servants. This may be the last time we shall be privileged to hear words of comfort and instruction from him; so let all begin now to make preparations to attend. The camp-ground is located one square east and three south of the union depot.
