To the Church Clerks of the Michigan Conference.
By A. B. Oyen
THE annual session of our Conference is to be held this year in connection with the camp-meeting at Battle Creek, beginning Oct. 2. This time is fast approaching, and brings with it certain duties for the church clerks to perform. It is the duty of each clerk in the Conference to send to the Conference secretary, a church report, giving number of members at the commencement of the Conference year, additions during the year by letter or baptism, losses by death or apostasy, present number of members, and number of S. S. scholars; also a financial report and pledge of the church for the coming year. I would earnestly request that each clerk in the Conference attend to this in season, so that I can make a report of the standing of the Conference, to the General Conference. In past years less than half of our churches have reported their standing to the State Conference. Shall it be so this year? Shall we not hear from every church clerk this time? Send your reports to me at the REVIEW Office, Battle Creek, Mich. A. B. OYEN, Conf. Sec.
