The Conference.

By James White

On this page may be seen the appointments of our Conferences and Associations. It is hoped that our people in the several States, and elsewhere, will be represented at this gathering, either by delegate or by letter. We are always glad to see our brethren from distant States; but we very much question the propriety of several ministers coming from a small, distant State conference, at the expense of the conference. It may be better sometimes to let lay brethren come at their own expense. In some cases, distant States and territories can be represented by letter, or by leading ministers who know the especial wants of those parts of the field. But let those who do attend our annual meetings, come with a mind to work. If you send us delegates, please send working men. If not, send us letters. J. W.
