Our Next State Quarterly Meeting.
By H. A. St. John
It has been decided to hold this meeting at Belleville, Richmond county, April 11 to 16. In some respects this will be an important meeting. Here we should lay our plans, and make arrangements for the summer campaign with tents, etc., as far as possible. The Belleville society is small, but cordially invite all who love the cause in sincerity to come, and share in welcome their hospitality. Grumblers, fault-finders, and tale-bearers are not invited. Those who do come should come to do good and receive good. The good cause of the Lord is onward,—steadily and more rapidly onward throughout the earth, and Ohio will furnish its quota of soldiers of Jesus to labor and look for his soon coming. The meeting is appointed to begin on Tuesday night, but of course we do not expect our brethren generally to come before Friday. Ministers, Conference Committee, treasurer, and secretary, and other State officers (of T. and M. society, etc.), are earnestly invited to be on hand by Tuesday, so that all business may be attended to before the Sabbath, and besides the business, we should have some seasons of seeking the Lord together at this meeting. Bro. King will perhaps be at this meeting, and those who wish to engage in canvassing, and can not begin sooner than this, would do well to report, personally at this meeting. We can employ but three or four tent-masters in Ohio the coming summer, and all of our young brethren must not expect positions of this kind. Let all seek a field of usefulness in the cause. H. A. ST. JOHN.
