To Brethren in N. Y.

By William Treadwell

I AM requested to extend an invitation to the N. Y. Conference Committee to appoint the next New York Conference at Roosevelt. There are some good reasons why we think it should be held here: First, it is central; and, second, we think we are as well prepared to accommodate a large gathering as any other church we know of.

There may be some things that may appear to be objections: There is no very direct public conveyance to this place; but we will endeavor to be prompt in meeting our Brn. with a sufficient number of teams at Central Square, so that all may be accommodated.

I would state, for the encouragement of the Brn. abroad that through the faithful, judicious labors of Bro. Andrews the church in this place are arising and striving for the unity of the faith and spirit as never before. We can assure our brethren, should they see fit to appoint the Conference here, of our hearty cooperation in the work of striving to advance the cause of present truth.

We would likewise invite Bro. and Sister White to attend this meeting. We think we should highly appreciate their labors.

In behalf of the church.

WILLIAM TREADWELL. Church Clerk.
