State Conference for N. Y. and Pa.

By John Nevins Andrews; J. M. Lindsay; E. D. Gaskill

The New York and Pennsylvania State Conference will hold its ninth annual meeting on the Camp-ground at Oneida, N. Y., Aug. 3 and 4. We hold the Conference in advance of the camp-meeting, which begins the evening of the fourth. Our object is to have the business of the Conference transacted before we enter upon the duties of the camp-meeting, that we may be wholly free to enter upon the business of seeking God. All the preachers and delegates should reach the ground by the evening of the second, that we may begin our business meeting on the morning of the third.

The churches of this Conference, and those wishing to unite with it, are earnestly requested to represent themselves by delegates. In case any cannot do this, they must not fail to report by letter. Delegates will bring letters showing their appointment. Churches will send written reports of their standing, their additions and losses through the year, and the amount of their S. S. funds. Delegates will come prepared to settle up the pledges of their respective churches for the Conference year; and ministers will report as required by the Constitution.

We request every person who has quarterly reports to make to the Secretary of the Conference to have those all finished, and in his hands in due season. The address of the Secretary is, R. F. Cottrell, Ridgeway, Orleans Co., N. Y.

Let all concerned in the business be prompt in coming to the Conference in advance of the camp-meeting, and let us be faithful in the sacred work committed to our trust. J. N. ANDREWS, J. M. LINDSAY, } Conference E. D. GASKILL. } Committee.
