CONFERENCE IN WIS. AND ILLS.

By John Norton Loughborough; Isaac Sanborn

A CONFERENCE for Illinois and Wisconsin will be held at the new meeting-house in Avon, Rock Co., Wis., commencing Friday evening, Sept. 13, and holding over Sunday, the 15th. We hope to see a general gathering of the brethren and sisters of Northern Ills. and Southern Wis., and delegates from churches in Northern Wis.

As this meeting will close up the tent season, we hope all who have pledged on the support of the tent will come to this conference prepared to pay, or else send their pledges. It will also be necessary to raise some $50 more than was pledged at the last spring conference to meet the expense of the tent. Let the treasurers of the different S. B. funds come prepared to act in this matter.

Let the brethren and sisters, as far as convenient, bring blankets, buffalo-robes and provisions. The houses of the brethren will be open and their tables free to all who come. We expect and hope that this will be the largest gathering of Sabbath-keepers ever known in Wis. Come, brethren, praying that the Lord may meet with us, and then our gathering together will not be in vain.

In behalf of the church. J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH. ISAAC SANBORN.
