TO OUR BRETHREN IN IOWA.
By E. W. Farnsworth
It is thought best that the camp-meeting commence Wednesday morning, Sept. 18, and continue till the next Wednesday. This will give us about three days more time than we usually have. All our brethren and sisters should be on the ground Tuesday night, so that we may be able to commence Wednesday morning; and we hope they will come with the intention of staying till the meeting closes. This extension of time in our meeting this year is made because it is absolutely needed; and we hope our people will not frustrate our object by coming late, or by going away before the close. We request that all churches in the Conference be represented, either by delegate or by letter. Be sure to send in your church reports in time. Our Conference will have most all the expenses of two years to meet at this meeting. It will therefore be seen at a glance that we shall need all the S. B. funds we can raise. We feel anxious to meet every account that may be presented, and to do this it will be necessary for our brethren to bring in all the S. B. they have, and we hope they will pay up what may be due up to the time of the Conference. Bro. Johnson will have the pledges for the European mission, and will be ready to take any money on them that may be paid. We notice that there are a great many unpaid pledges on our College, and we shall be prepared to look after these also. Some of the tent pledges in Nebraska; they will be needed at the camp-meeting in that State. Our brethren in Western Iowa and Western Nebraska must make a great exertion to attend this meeting. It will be a feast to you. Eld. Haskell, president of the Gen. T. and M. Society, will be there; and Sr. White will attend the Iowa and Nebraska meetings, if health permits. E. W. FARNSWORTH.
