IN harmony with an article in this REVIEW, we hereby appoint a general meeting at Osceola, Iowa, Oct. 9-13, at which the general quarterly meeting for the Iowa Tract and Missionary Society will be held, instead of at Knoxville, the appointment for that place being hereby taken up. We want to have a general rally of all of the friends of the cause who can come to this meeting. See note inside this paper. Geo. I. Butler, S. N. Haskell. MONTHLY meeting for Cattaraugus Co., N. Y., will be held at Randolph, the third Sabbath and first-day in September. We hope to see a general attendance, as it is expected there will be something done about organizing.

We would hereby request all members of the Waukon church who have moved away and have not yet joined other churches, to report to this church by letter, quarterly, in compliance with a resolution passed by the Iowa State Conference. We must consider a total neglect of this duty on their part a sufficient reason for the church to take action in their cases. Quarterly Meetings in Minnesota.

IT is thought best to hold this meeting near Martinsville, Clark Co., on the National Wagon Road; camp to be on or near the premises of Bro. John Davison. Martinsville is on the St. Louis, Vandalia, Terre Haute, and Indianapolis R. R. Through express trains do not stop. Friends from the south by cars change at Edgewood and Effingham; from the North, at Vandalia or Terre Haute, according to route; from the West, at Pana and Vandalia. The time is Oct. 2-6. Bro. Butler expects to be there. Now, brethren, you need the help that you can obtain at this meeting, and your loss you cannot compute in dollars and cents if you stay away. Come, brethren, in the name of the Lord, arise as one man, and shake off the shackles that bind you to earth, and come to this convocation of the people of God. Come, praying that God may meet with and bless his people. Come prepared to care for yourselves as much as possible. Be there at the commencement of the meeting, and remain until its close. THE Indiana Camp-Meeting will be held Sept. 18-22, in Rails Grove, four and one-half miles west of Kokomo, on the New London and Kokomo dirt Road. Teams to convey passengers to the ground will meet trains at Kokomo on the 17th and 18th. We entreat all who propose to attend, that they come on Wednesday, Sept. 17, in time to complete their preparation on that day, as much will be lost by not being on the ground at the commencement of the meeting. Provisions and straw will be furnished on the ground. As our Conference is small, we hope that an earnest effort will be made by the brethren in all parts of the Conference, that there be a full attendance at this meeting. J. M. Rees, George White, W. T. Seward, Camp-Meeting Com. THE Indiana Conference will hold its first annual meeting in connection with the camp-meeting, Sept. 18-22. Let all the churches in this Conference choose delegates immediately, and make all other necessary arrangements to attend the meeting. All tents should be erected on the 16th, and all the friends should be on the ground and preparations completed the 17th, so that the entire time can be used for the good of the cause. Wm. Covert, Wm. R. Carpenter, N. Carahoof, Ind. Conf. Com. THE California State Camp-meeting will be held from September 17 to 23, one mile east of Yountville Station, on the Napa Valley Railroad, nine miles north of Napa, and nine miles south of St. Helena. It is desired that all the tents be on the ground Monday evening, the 15th, and those designing, as far as possible, to arrive Tuesday evening, the 16th, as suggested in the Review. We expect Bro. and sister White, and Bro. D. M. Canright, to join us in the camp-meeting. Come, brethren and sisters, to this camp-meeting. Bring your friends with you that you think may be benefited. Come, praying that the meeting may be a signal blessing to the cause in our midst. Teams will meet trains each way to convey passengers to and from the camp ground free of charge. J. N. Loughborough, Jackson Ferguson, John Hudson, Cal. Conf. Com. THE first session of the California State Conference will be held in connection with the camp-meeting Sept. 17 to 23, at Yountville. At the session of our State meeting, we, by vote, resolved ourselves into a State Conference. According to the State Constitution circulated among you, you will see that each church of twenty members or less is entitled to one delegate, and one delegate for every additional fifteen members. Thus, twenty members, or less, will entitle you to one delegate; thirty-five members, to two delegates; fifty members, to three, &c. Blanks will be sent to each church clerk in due time, with proper instructions how to fill them for the Conference. Let each church immediately elect their delegates, that all may be ready in due season. Illinois T. & M. Society Meeting.
THIS Society will hold its annual meeting in connection with the camp-meeting at Pontiac, Sept. 25-29. It is very desirable to have all the friends of this branch of the work present; especially the Directors, District Secretaries, State Secretary, and Vice-President. In behalf of the Society, we extend to Eld. S. N. Haskell an urgent invitation to attend this meeting. THE third annual meeting of the Illinois State Conference will be held at Pontiac, Livingston Co., Ill., Sept. 25-29, in connection with the camp-meeting. Let all the churches in the Conference be represented, if possible, by delegates, if not, by letters. As the notice is short it will be necessary to be prompt in making the needful preparations to be rightly represented. Seth Newton, J. R. Whitman, R. F. Andrews, Ill. Conf. Com. THIS meeting will be held Sept. 25-29, at Pontiac, Livingston Co., Ill. Pontiac is the county seat, and is situated on the Chicago, Alton, and St. Louis, and Fairbury and Streator, Railroads. Those coming by rail from the north-western part of the State should come to Ottawa, on the C., R. I., and P. R. R., thence to Streator and Pontiac. Those from the West, South, and East, will pass through Bloomington and Chenoa, thence to Pontiac. To say that we are anxious that there should be a general attendance does not express our mind. We are intensely desirous to see a general assembling from all parts of the State, and we can see no good reason why we may not. Come in time to be all ready at the commencement of the meeting, and prepared to stay till it is entirely over. It will be necessary to bring a good supply of bed clothes, as the nights may be cool. Straw will be furnished free, and there will be opportunity to get provisions at reasonable rates. Bring your unconverted children, friends, and neighbors, with you, and come to labor for your and their salvation. You will sustain a great loss if you suffer worldly interests to keep you away. Remember, the day of God's wrath is drawing “near, and hasteth greatly,” and if you are wise you will avail yourselves of all the means within your reach, that you may be prepared to stand. Bro. Butler is expected. For the Com.,
