Change of Arrangements.
By Gen. Conf. Com.
THE three appointments for Minnesota are changed to a later date. Elder White and wife, providence permitting, will hold meetings at Princeville, Peoria Co., Ill., June 24 and 25. The scattered friends of the cause are invited to make a general rally at this meeting. Elder Loughborough, and Elder White and wife, will meet a delegation of the friends of the cause in Iowa, at Pilot Grove, Ia., June 30th, and a general assembly of Sabbath-keepers in the State, July 1 and 2. As it is decided that one or more of the General Conference Committee should attend the State Conferences, and as two of that Committee are now in the West, and as it is thought that the western Conferences can be held the first of July to accommodate farmers as to their work quite as well as at the usual time, and as there are matters in the Iowa Conference which need immediate attention, and as there is not time to submit the appointment to the Iowa Conference Committee, therefore, the Gen. Conf. Com. take the responsibility of appointing the above named assembly at Pilot Grove. The churches of Iowa are invited to choose their proper number of delegates immediately of such brethren as can and will attend this great gathering of the people of God. And when assembled, with the ministers of the Conference present, they can accept this general gathering as the annual State Conference if this should be the voice of the people. In consequence of the shortness of the time, vigilance will be necessary in appointing delegates, and preparing reports of loss or gain of numbers, amount of s. b. funds, and present condition. In locating this assembly with the Pilot Grove church, the committee feel that they are taking a liberty warranted only by the extreme urgencies of the case. We invite a great and general gathering of those who can take along with them four days' rations, and a soldier's blanket. Let there be a general rally—not of idlers,—not of invalids and children—not of careless professors who come only to see and to hear—but let there be a general turnout of those who have the cause at heart, and who will come seeking the presence of God, and a knowledge of his will. Business meeting will commence June 30th at 9 A. M. A general assortment of publications and Bibles will be on the ground. GEN. CONF. COM.
