New England Conferences,
By E. L. Barr.
I wish to add a few thoughts to what has already been said about general Conferences. 1. Is it not the duty of the few scattered saints located far from the seat of the State Conference, who find it impossible to be represented by delegation to do it faithfully by letter. 2. Will it not be the privilege of those dear isolated saints that have never enjoyed an interview with those of like precious faith, and are not able to attend the Conference, to, when they learn the time and place of holding the same, represent their own case also by letter and thereby throw their influence into the scale of truth and secure the sympathies and prayers of the church. 3. In view of the imminent danger to which all are exposed, shall there not be an effort made and that speedily, to arise and stand on high and holy ground, where we have the favor of God and are kept by his power through faith unto salvation. New Ipswich, N. H. Sept. 13th, 1857.
