The Annual Meetings.

By Editor

By invitation of the Battle Creek church, at a meeting, April 10, it has been decided to hold the annual sessions of the General Conference, Mich. State Conference, and Publishing Association, at Battle Creek, Mich., May 17–21, 1865, as elsewhere appointed. These annual meetings are important gatherings, and are becoming more and more so every year. We ask the brethren and sisters everywhere, to offer up to God the fervent prayer of faith, that he will work in power for his people, at these meetings, and guide them in wisdom to carry out his will, and advance his cause. If we mistake not, the coming year is destined to be a momentous one for the cause of present truth. We believe the time has come when the last merciful message is about to go forth in its might, to wake the world with its last loud warning, and search out the thousands of honest ones who have not yet bowed the knee to Baal. We want the illuminating spirit of the message with us, that we may comprehend the magnitude of the work before us, and take action with that zeal and energy which these critical times demand. We hope to have a feast of tabernacles at this gathering, and to see many of the true friends of the cause from all parts of the field. Let all who contemplate coming, seek a previous work of thorough consecration to God, and come with the heavenly armor on, prepared to work in earnest for the cause of truth.
