SECOND SESSION.

Meeting called Nov. 14. Prayer by Bro. Jordan. The subject of camp-meetings coming up, several persons spoke with reference to them. All were agreed that there should be two held next summer. It was voted that Sparta and Ripon be recommended to the Camp-meeting Committee as suitable places for said meetings.
Voted, That our brethren throughout the States be urged to procure family tents.
The distribution of labor for the coming winter was considered, and it was recommended, owing to the backwardness of some of the districts in coming up to the work as fully as the cause demands, that Bro. Olsen visit the several districts as soon as possible. Bro. Decker will go to Green Bay.
The attendance was small, but all were encouraged to engage more heartily in the tract and missionary work. Much good, no doubt, will result from this meeting.
A supply of almanacs being on hand, the members availed themselves of the opportunity to obtain a quantity.
The time and place for the next meeting were left for the president to choose.
With much good cheer, the meeting adjourned, sine die.
