A convention of the friends of the religious amendment is to be held at Tremont Temple, Boston, commencing Wednesday evening Dec. 16, at 7½ o’clock. The Christian Statesman of Nov. 21, 1874, gives the following additional announcements:— “Arrangements are in progress for three conventions in the West, one for Illinois and adjacent States, on the 27th and 28th of January; another for Kansas and adjacent States, on the 10th and 11th of February; and still another for Ohio and adjoining States, early in March. It is intended to work up each convention with the same care, in regard to all matters of details, as if it were a national convention. Let the friends everywhere do their utmost for the success of these meetings.” The Biblical Messenger, a large eight-page, ably-conducted Advent monthly, published by A. A. Hoyt, is to be removed from Plainfield, Vt., and published hereafter in Waterbury, Vt.
