ATTENTION, ALL!

By General Conference Committee

Special Session of General Conference, March 31—April 3.

In view of the many subjects demanding consideration at the opening of the campaign of 1876, the rapidly extending field for the spread of our message, the calls for help at home and abroad, arrangements for this year's camp-meetings, the interests of the different institutions, so providentially established and so remarkably prospered thus far,—it has been thought best to call a special session of the S. D. Adventist General Conference, to meet in Battle Creek, Mich., March 31 to April 3, 1876.

The time has fully come for broader and more extensive operations, and prompt and decisive action. Let all arise to new interest in the work. We wish every State Conference to be represented at this meeting, by delegates where it is practicable and convenient, and where it is not, by letter without fail, stating your situation, wants, plans, and wishes. The more distant and feebler Conferences can, if they prefer, represent themselves fully by letter, without incurring the expense of sending delegates. Scattered brethren, in fields where no organization exists, can represent themselves and their wants in the same way.

The time. We expect this paper will reach all especially concerned in this call, by the 14th of March. Then you will have ten days to March 24, to prepare your letters, appoint delegates, and get matters in readiness to bring before the Conference. One week will then remain in which to get your letters and delegates to this place. Thus it will be seen that while there is ample time, there is not a moment to be lost. Be in season.

GENERAL CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
