Vermont State Conference.

THE Vermont State Conference will hold its next annual session at West Enosburg, Vt. on Friday June 3, 1864, at 9 o'clock A. M.

All the churches belonging to this Conference, and those who wish to unite with it, are requested to represent themselves by delegates; both from Vermont and Canada East.

According to the ratio of choosing delegates, there will be but one or two churches in the conference entitled to more than one delegate. Any church however few its members is entitled to one, if fully organized.

It is the constitutional duty of each of the churches to send a written report to the annual meeting of the conference of their standing, their losses, and additions of membership, during the year, also the amount of their s. b. fund.

Churches will also notify the Executive Committee, at or before the time of the conference, of the amount they will give each month from their s. b. fund during the conference year into the State Treasury for the support of ministers, tent operations &c.

It is hereby ardently yet humbly requested by the Committee and Ministering brethren that the Gen. Conference Committee make such arrangements as will permit Bro. Loughborough on returning to his Eastern mission to attend our conference; and that Bro. Loughborough will gratify us by being present to assist us.

To the Churches of the Different Quarterly Meetings in Iowa.

DEAR BRETHREN: You have no doubt been disappointed in seeing nothing ere this on the subject of quarterly meetings. Owing to the very bad state of the roads and weather, the matter has been waived for the present, and we now recommend that the present series be omitted, and that the next quarterly meetings begin just three months from the time they ought to have been. Of which we will give definite appointments in good time.

B. F. SNOOK, D. ANDRE, J. T. MITCHELL. } Conf. Com.

THE next meeting of the church at McConnel's Grove, Ill., will commence Friday evening, May 6th, and hold over Sabbath and Sunday. It will be held in the school house, at the village of Oneco, one mile east of my residence. A general turn out is expected from our sister churches. Come, brethren, we love to enjoy each other's presence, and should do so at least as often as once in three months. Bro. Ingraham is expected. J. F. BALLENGER.

I will, the Lord willing, hold meetings where the brethren at Fairfield may appoint, beginning April 29, 1864, at half-past 7 o'clock, and continue over first-day. I will also hold meetings with the brethren at Vernon, beginning May 5, at half-past 7 o'clock, and will continue over first-day. B. F. SNOOK.

Providence permitting, I will meet with the church in Convis, Mich., at the house of Bro. Smith, May 7, 1864, at 11 o'clock. Meeting on first-day at the school-house near Bro. Sellers', if he thinks best, and will give notice.
