THE MAINE CONFERENCE.

By J. B. GOODRICH

We have called for the first session of the Maine State Conference to be held Aug. 30, at 4 P. M. for the purpose of organizing, and appointing the necessary committees, that we may have more time for devotional exercises on our camp-ground. We hope our churches will not fail to appoint delegates who can attend the camp-meeting, and that each delegate will be on the ground in time to attend the first session of the Conference without fail.

We expect the best camp-meeting this fall that we have ever had, and we shall not be disappointed if all do their duty. God has blessed the efforts of his people the past year by giving us some additions to our numbers. His hand is distinctly seen in the work of the third angel's message. Courage, brethren and sisters in Maine. Let us go up to the camp-meeting this fall with Joshua's decision: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” And with the mind of Nehemiah's men: “The people had a mind to work.” We only have the tried servants of the Lord with us once a year, let none of us fail to be present to hear their instruction, and be benefited by it.
