The S. D. Baptists.

At the late General Conference of the Seventh-day Baptists, Eld. D. M. Canright, as delegate from the Seventh-day Adventists, was received by the following generous resolution which was adopted without opposition:—

“Resolved, That this Conference recognize gratefully the action of the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference in appointing Eld. James White as a delegate to our present meeting, and Eld. D. M. Canright as alternate; that we welcome the alternate, and accept the explanations of the non-attendance of the principal; that we are glad to receive also, as the friend and companion of the alternate, Eld. Uriah Smith, editor of the ADVENT REVIEW AND SABBATH HERALD, and that we cordially invite these brethren to participate in our deliberations.”

The S. D. Baptist delegate to our last General Conference, Eld. N. V. Hull, presented to his Conference the following report:—

“Your delegate to the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference begs leave to offer the following report: Your delegate attended, as he was able, to the duties of his appointment, and was received in the most cordial manner, and during his stay was treated with every mark of kindness and respect. He found them gathered in a beautiful grove some two miles from Battle Creek, to the number of perhaps fifteen hundred. Their meetings were conducted in an orderly manner, and were characterized by a spirit of great religiousness and fervor. They are in a hopeful and prosperous condition. Their missions, the one on the Pacific Coast and the one in Europe, although but recently formed, are in a healthy state. In San Francisco they are erecting a house of worship, and at Oakland they have just put in operation one of Cottrell & Babcock’s large printing presses, and will soon have a press in operation in Europe. They are evincing great zeal and perseverance, and everything seems to promise well with them.”
