Report of Ohio Conference.
THE Ohio State Conference met according to appointment, May 31, and organized by calling Bro. H. J. Kittle to the chair, and choosing Bro. H. Baker Secretary. Prayer by Bro. Brinkerhoof. The permanent organization of the Conference being a matter of chief importance, the Constitution recommended by the General Conference was read, considered, and adopted, without a dissenting voice. A committee was then selected to nominate the officers called for by the Constitution, who reported as follows, viz. : President, Oliver Mears, Secretary, H. F. Baker, Treasurer, P. Ferciot. Ex. Com., Jos. Clarke, and I. N. Van Gorder. The report was accepted, and the individuals severally elected. The balance of the session was employed in matters of no general interest, which all passed off harmoniously and agreeably. We are a few people here, and have suffered much from the wiles of the enemy, scattering and dividing us; but we separated, convinced more than ever, I think, of the necessity of unity, of closing up our ranks against the enemy, and of becoming one people, thus convincing the world that God hath sent our Master, that he may be thus glorified in us, in the day of visitation close upon us.
