GENERAL CONFERENCES.

By John Nevins Andrews

THE remarks of Bro. Waggoner in a recent number of the Review concerning general conferences, meets my hearty approval. I trust that the work of organization will be completed by establishing State conferences, where they do not now exist, and general conferences that shall represent the whole body of the brethren. In this way we can act with efficiency; but otherwise we shall be thrown into confusion every time that concert of action is especially necessary. The work of organization, wherever it has been entered into in a proper manner, has borne good fruit; and hence I desire to see it completed in such a manner as shall secure its full benefit, not only to each church, but to the whole body of the brethren and to the cause of truth, so dear to all. The work is the Lord's, and yet each of us may do something to advance it. The commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus will be the watchword and standard of the remnant through the time of trouble before us, and onward to the gates of the holy city. A people thus united in the bonds of truth and of Christian fellowship, should be prepared to act together as one body for the advancement of the cause of Christ. J. N. ANDREWS.
