Some of the brethren do not seem as yet to understand the arrangement for quarterly meetings, and forward appointments for their church quarterly meetings, inviting others to unite with them. Appointments for church quarterly meetings need not be given; for it is understood that every church is to hold its quarterly meeting the first Sabbath and first-day in the quarter, which is, for the next quarter, July 5 and 6 days. Invitations to other churches to unite are not in order; as each church is to hold its meeting by itself. In no other way can the object of these meetings be accomplished, and all the matters of the church be attended to. Such appointments we therefore withhold.
