Michigan and Indiana State Conference
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Michigan and Indiana State Conference.
The Michigan and Indiana State Conference will hold its twelfth annual session in connection with the General Camp-meeting to be held in Battle Creek, June 6–11, 1872. Let all the churches at once take the steps necessary to represent themselves fully at this meeting. The question of dividing the Conference, so that the States of Michigan and Indiana may each have a Conference of its own, according to the recommendation of the last General Conference, will come up at this meeting. Churches who wish to join the Conference should present their requests at this time. Let all ministers, licentiates, and delegates, come prepared to make the various reports which the constitution of the Conference requires, that the business may be dispatched in a prompt and satisfactory manner. U. Smith, J. F. Carman, D. H. Lamson, Mich. Conf. Com. Osceola, Iowa, May 4 and 5. This is designed for a general meeting of the friends from Decatur City, Leon, Afton, Peru, Winterset, Woodburn, &c. Preaching, Friday evening at 7. Those wishing baptism, in any of these places, come prepared to attend to it on Sunday. Let there be an earnest effort for all to attend, as this will be our last meeting. D. M. Canright. Greenwood Prairie, Minn., May 11 and 12. I make this appointment on the recommendation of the Minnesota Conference Committee. It may not be thought best to have another meeting before camp-meeting, but rather go immediately into new fields; hence all should attend this one. D. M. Canright.
