Our Quarterly Meetings.

By Stephen Nelson Haskell

It will be noticed by appointment in this paper, that the State quarterly meeting is to be held in Healdsburg, in connection with a ten days' meeting for Bible-readings, January 3 to January 13, 1884. This will interfere with the district and church quarterly meetings, and we therefore recommend that each church in our Conference hold its quarterly meeting December 22 and 23, and that the Librarians at once forward their reports to the District Secretaries. Then the District Secretaries can at once send their reports to the State Secretary at Healdsburg. Thus we can have the reports at the State meeting, without holding the district meetings first.

We are very anxious that there be a large attendance of our people at this meeting. The church and tract society officers especially should be present if possible. The cause is rising in all parts of the world, and now is the time to make special moves, if we would secure God's blessing and walk in his opening providence. The meetings of this character just held in Battle Creek and South Lancaster, have been especial seasons of blessing, and we hope our people will make the most of this opportunity.
