Preparing for the Coming Conferences
By Editor
Brethren are you remembering the coming Conferences and Association meeting, which are to commence in Battle Creek, the 17th inst.? And you who are thinking of attending these meetings, are you preparing to come ready to work for the Lord? preparing to bring and receive a blessing? State Conferences east and west, are your delegates chosen and authorised? Churches in Michigan, are you ready with your pledges for the coming year, and reports of your present spiritual standing in this blessed cause? Churches that wish to unite with the Conference, are your petitions prepared? Ministers, are you ready with your reports of labor, and prepared to state the wants and prospects of the cause in your different fields of labor? And you who want help, have you embodied your wants in a definite form to lay before these meetings? The holding of the winds, in the suppression of the rebellion, outstripping even our faith in the suddenness of its execution, is opening a wide door before us. Let the thousands of Sabbath-keepers whose prayers ascended two months since for the speedy accomplishment of this work, now so signally answered, again ascend that the great Captain of the Lord's host will meet with his people at these meetings.
