General Quarterly Meeting in Iowa
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand ** Services in Chicago, every Sabbath (seventh day), at 269 West Erie St. All Sabbath-keepers spending a Sabbath in Chicago are invited to attend. General Quarterly Meeting in Iowa.
After counseling with the President of the General Conference and the President of the Iowa State Conference, it is thought best to have a General Quarterly Meeting of the T. & M. Society of the Iowa and Nebraska Conference at Sandyville, Warren Co., Iowa, Sabbath and Sunday, Dec. 4 and 5. There are important local reasons why this meeting should be held at the above place. The meeting appointed in last week's Review at Marion, Iowa, is therefore taken up. We hope there will be a special effort made in each district to have the reports in season. We want to see a large attendance of the brethren and sisters from all the surrounding country. This will be the only meeting I shall be able to hold in Iowa for the present. And I want to see many of the old friends of the cause there, as well as those who have recently embraced the truth. Meetings will commence Sabbath evening, and hold over Sunday. Turn out, brethren, there are important things to be done. Let the friends bring with them bedding, &c., to make the burden light as possible upon the church. Turn out, and come to seek the Lord and to labor in his vineyard.
