Special Notice.

To ALL Seventh-day Adventists in the Wisconsin State Conference, You remember that about four months ago the State Committee made a call for means to buy a new tent; and that money raised for that purpose should be sent to the State Treasurer, William Kerr, Monroe, Green Co., Wis. Up to this date there have not been $100 sent. We shall need about $400. It is probably all pledged, if not payed to the proper persons in the churches. Now we recommend that it be sent to William Kerr, Monroe, Green Co., Wis., in drafts or Post-Office orders, payable to him. And do so as soon as possible, that the tent may be purchased in due season and put in operation as soon as the weather will permit.

God is fitting up men in this Conference to work in his vineyard, while there are many excellent openings in the Conference for tent labor. Shall we all be co-laborers with God in this good work. See what God has done in this Conference through one tent meeting. There was not a Sabbath-keeper when the tent was pitched at Mount Hope, in Grant Co., last August. There is now an organized church of forty members, with a good meeting-house, and S. B. pledges for the year for over $200. Brethren, let us take courage and put two tents into the field. With the blessing of God, we may raise up four such churches next year. Who will help to do this? Ye men of Israel, help. Will not the elders and leaders of all the churches in the Conference report to me by letter immediately and let me know how much the churches have or will pledge and pay as above directed on or before the first day of June. Direct your letters to Eld. I. Sanborn, Johnstown Center, Rock Co., Wis., but send your money to Wm Kerr, Monroe, Green Co., Wis.
