To the Brethren of the Iowa and Nebraska Conference.

By Iowa and Neb. Conf. Com.

OUR annual gathering will soon take place; and it is quite time that we should make the necessary preparations for it. If each one feels that the success of this meeting depends upon him individually, and shall set his heart in order, seek to be imbued with the spirit of the third angel's message, and shall come to meet with God, such shall not go away disappointed.

Let all the friends of the cause make an especial effort to attend this meeting. Come up to this feast of the Lord the day previous, prepared to spend the entire time in seeking God. Come bringing your families and friends that you wish converted. Come, both rich and poor, and do not appear before the Lord empty. Deut. 16: 16.

Systematic Benevolence should be reorganized by each church and delegates elected, that there may be uniformity throughout the Conference. We would designate first-day, May 17, as the day for each church to meet and attend to this work.

S. B. treasurers and church clerks will bear in mind that it is very important that their quarterly and annual reports be made before or at this meeting, and that each church send reports whether represented by delegates or not. Be prompt.
