Iowa State Conference.

Notice is hereby given that the Iowa State Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will hold its next annual session in connection with the Southern Iowa camp-meeting, to be held near Knoxville, Marion Co., Iowa, June 1–5, 1871. It is expected that all our churches in the State, so far as practicable, shall elect delegates to represent them according to the following ratio: Twenty members or under, one delegate; and one delegate for every additional fifteen members. It is expected that every church shall send to the Conference a written report of their standing, their losses and additions during the year, and the yearly amount of their Systematic Benevolence fund. Geo. I. Butler, Iowa State; J. T. Mitchell, Conference; H. Nicola, Committee.

No preventing providence, I will meet with the brethren at Rockton, Ill., Sabbath and first-day, April 22 and 23, and where Bro. Brown may arrange, Sabbath and first-day, the 29th and 30th. Hope to see all the friends of the cause from Nora, Greenvale, Winslow, and McConnell’s Grove. Will Bro. B. meet me at Lena the 26th? I expect to meet with the friends at the Marsh school-house, west of Aledo, May 10, and stay over the 14th. Will Bro. Dungan see that the appointment is made public? Brethren, pray that we may have the blessing of God at these meetings. R. F. Andrews.

Monthly meeting for the churches of Oakland, Little Prairie, and Johnstown, Wis., at Johnstown, May 6 and 7, 1871. Will not one of the ministers who may be near us come over and help us? Let every member of the Johnstown church be present if possible. And brethren and sisters, let us come together in the fear of the Lord. Come with our hearts overflowing with love and good works. Come determined to make this meeting a profitable season. Come prepared to stay until the close. Beseech often the throne of grace, and importune the Lord to meet with us, and pour out a blessing. Let us come together with a spirit of confession and humiliation. Let us pray for wisdom to direct, and a sanctified judgment, and hearts that shall beat in unison in the transaction of such business as may come up before the meeting. If we come in the right spirit, the Lord will certainly bless us. D. B. Staples, Clerk.

Monthly meeting for Oswego County, at Roosevelt, the 2d Sabbath in May.

Meeting at Happy Valley, the 3d Sabbath in May. The ordinance of baptism will be administered. Come all. C. O. Taylor.
