Southern Union Conference.
By R. M. Kilgore
THE meeting of the Southern Union Conference will be held at Graysville, Tenn., Jan. 1-12, 1902. At this time we can have the presence of Sister E. G. White and Elders A. G. Daniells, W. C. White, and probably W. W. Prescott. These persons are now in the East, and we could not have them with us at a later date. Graysville has been selected as the place for this meeting on account of the school, and a cordial invitation is extended by the Cumberland Conference. Tents will be erected for the accommodation of those who attend. It will be necessary for those coming, to bring sufficient bedding and supplies to make themselves comfortable, as the houses at this season of the year at Graysville are well filled. The various Conferences should select and send delegates to this meeting for the transaction of important business that will be brought before us. Delegate credentials should be sent as soon as possible to the secretary, C. L. Kilgore, Graysville, Tenn. As the time is so short, it will be necessary for the Conferences to act promptly, and we should receive notice from all who are coming, that ample provision may be made. Reduced rates may be had on the certificate plan. It will therefore be necessary for all who come to secure certificates from every agent of whom tickets are purchased. We make this statement on account of the previous custom of railroads to grant special rates for such gatherings. More definite instruction will be given. It is understood that at that time all clergy permits will be void, and no time will be afforded for their renewal; hence, ministers, as well as all others coming, should purchase full-fare tickets, and secure the required certificate for one-third fare return. R. M. KILGORE, Pres. S. U. C.
