HELD at the "House of Prayer," at Battle Creek, Nov. 16th-19th, was a Meeting of importance, and deep interest. Brn. Hart of Vt., Bates of Mass, Belden of Conn., and Waggoner, lately from Wis., and a goodly number from different parts of this State, were present. Nov. 16th was spent in transacting business expressed in the call for the Conference. Sabbath, 17th, in a most thorough examination and discussion of the time to commence the Sabbath; 18th, three discourses were given by Brn. Waggoner and Bates; 19th, in prayer, and remarks, and confessions relative to the evident departure of the remnant from the spirit of the message, and the humble, straight-forward course taken by those who first embraced it. Strong desires were expressed, and fervent prayers were offered to Heaven, for the return of the Spirit of consecration, sacrifice and holiness once enjoyed by the remnant. Our long-suffering, and tender Father in heaven smiled upon his waiting children, and manifested his power to their joy. The brethren separated greatly refreshed and encouraged.
It is proper here to state that the most perfect union prevails with the friends of the cause in regard to the manner of conducting the REVIEW. No one present at the Conference, or by letter, objected to the plan suggested in the REVIEW, and adopted by the Conference. We will here give short extracts of letters from different Churches, read before the Conference.
