REPORT OF THE OHIO CONFERENCE.

By John Nevins Andrews; J. Clarke

Seventh Annual Session.

The Seventh Annual Session of the Ohio Conference was held at Clyde, Aug. 15, 1869. Eld. J. N. Andrews was chosen President, pro tem. Appropriate remarks by Bro. White.

Notice of the holding of the Conference at this time (of the Camp-meeting) not having been sufficiently definite, delegates had not been generally sent by the churches. It was therefore thought best to choose delegates from the brethren present at the camp-meeting, who should represent their several churches; all of which were thus represented, except the church of Wayne.

The officers chosen for the present year, were an Executive Committee of three: Oliver Mears, Geo. Smith, and O. F. Guilford; of which, O. Mears was chosen President. John Mears was chosen State Treasurer, and Joseph Clarke was chosen Secretary.

RESOLUTIONS.

1. That this Conference request the churches composing it, to re-arrange their s. b. books, and pledge themselves to be prompt in making out their quarterly and annual reports.

2. That this Conference tender to the General Conference, its thanks for sending Brn. James White, and J. N. Andrews to our assistance at this time; also we would express our gratitude to Elders White and Andrews, for their arduous labors in behalf of the churches in Ohio. Adjourned to the call of the Committee.

J. N. ANDREWS, President.

J. CLARKE, Sec'y.
