To Churches in Ohio.

By H. A. St. John

The Ohio Conference, to be held in connection with the camp-meeting, is soon to come. There are certain matters of business that you should attend to without fail before that Conference convenes. Please listen to a reminder:—

1. Elect your delegates, one for twenty members or under, and one for every additional fifteen members.

2. See that each delegate has proper credentials, furnished by the clerk.

3. Make, and bring, a Church Report.

4. Make, and bring, a Financial Report and Pledge.

5. Organized churches not connected with the Conference should bring a written appeal for admission into the Conference.

6. Unorganized companies of Sabbath-keepers should elect a delegate to present their condition and needs.

7. Appeals for change of church name, or anything else, should be in writing.

8. All reports, and documents of whatever nature, should be put into the hands of the Conference secretary, E. H. Gates, as soon as brought upon the ground.

9. If no one can come from your place, send reports, appeals, etc., by mail, in good season, to E. H. Gates, Tiffin, Ohio.

10. If any lack the proper blank credentials or reports, write me immediately, at Clyde, Sandusky Co., Ohio, stating what is wanted, and how many.

11. Let all endeavor to pay up s. b., and let the treasurer bring the money to camp-meeting.

12. All who have pledged for tents are expected to pay at this meeting.

13. Church clerks, bring your church books to the Conference.

14. S. B. treasurers, bring your s. b. books to the Conference.

If Prof. C. W. Stone is with us, he will probably act as inspector of church records, and instructor of church officers.

Now that duty is plain before you, where will the failures be? H. A. St. John.
