General Meeting for Southern Ill.
At the earnest request of the friends of the cause in Southern Illinois, there will be a general meeting held under the tent in Greenup, Cumberland Co., Oct. 1-5, 1874. This meeting is appointed for the benefit of the scattered friends of the truth in the southern part of the State. We hope to see a general rally from this part of the field. Come, dear brethren and sisters, let us now commence the work of humbling ourselves, and drawing near to God, that we may obtain his blessing. All should come as far as possible prepared to care for themselves. As the meeting in Indiana will be held a week before, could we not have some ministerial help sent us? The presence of Bro. and sister White would be hailed with joy, or any other help the General Conference may send. R. F. Andrews. No providence preventing, there will be a grove meeting, commencing Oct. 8th and continuing to the 12th, at Cook's Landing, Monona Co., Iowa, in the vicinity of the Onowa church, three miles from Blanchard Station on the Sioux City R. R. There will be teams at the station to convey passengers to the ground. Brethren from Decatur will provide a boat for crossing the river from the Nebraska side. Brethren, let us come up to this meeting expecting the blessing of God. All that can will come with provisions and bedding to take care of themselves. All are invited. We will pitch the tent on the ground for persons to lodge in. Brethren Boyd and Hart are invited to be with us. J. Bartlett, F. McWilliams. Quarterly Meetings in Minnesota.

We want to lay plans and open the way at this meeting for the tract and missionary work to go forward the coming winter. The winter months are the best time to work in the cause in Minnesota. The new meeting-house at Mankato will be dedicated at that time. Let all the directors appoint and hold their district quarterly meetings two weeks previous to our general quarterly meetings, and be ready to report all that has been done in each district. Elds.
