Special Session of General Conference.

The special session of General Conference announced in Review of March 6, is postponed from the date there given to April 17-21. This change is made because Bro. and Sister White cannot well be present before that time, and more time is needed to prepare some matters for the action of the Conference.
As this is not the regular annual meeting, statistical reports from the different State Conferences will not be expected. But every Conference should be represented, either by delegates or letter. A general invitation is extended to all who can come.
Make this a feast, if not of tabernacles, at least of The Tabernacle. We can now make all comfortable so far as a place of worship is concerned; and the Battle Creek church will do all in their power to make you comfortable at their homes.
The Tabernacle is now finished, and will be dedicated on this occasion. It is a building plain, substantial, commodious, convenient, and every way worthy of the cause it represents. Come and see it, and judge for yourselves.
Aside from this, the occasion will be one of great importance and interest. Bro. Andrews, who has not yet returned to Europe, will be present. At no previous period in our history could we point to so many marked evidences of the strength and progress of this cause. And the help of all is needed who have hearts to feel, and wisdom to plan, that the accumulating forces of this work may be properly directed.
Above all, we need, and expect to receive, the blessing of God upon this gathering of his people. Let us come seeking him, and he will be found of us. Let us come to pledge ourselves anew to this sacred work.
