General Conference.

PROVIDENCE favoring, we shall attend the General Conference at Battle Creek, May 12–17. And we wish to say,
1. To correspondents. Please address us at Battle Creek till further notice be given.
2. Life Incidents will not be ready by Conference time, yet those who wish the book can send pay for it, if they choose, by those coming. Large churches had better send for a quantity and receive it by express. Price $1.00. By mail, post-paid, $1.12.
3. Those wishing to donate clothing or money to the family of Bro. Mead, can send it by those coming to Conference.
4. Our friends are aware that we were from home at the time of last fruit harvest. If they have dried fruit to spare, and will bring or send to us at the time of the Conference, we will receive it with gratitude.
5. Every sister wearing the reformed dress should obtain 100 copies of the tract upon this subject. The people have a right to know why this change in style of dress, and it is our duty to let them know. We have ordered 25,000 copies printed before Conference. Price only $1.00 for 100.
6. Now is the time to strike for a general circulation of such works as Spiritual Gifts, Appeal to Mothers, Appeal to Youth, Sabbath Readings, How to live, and the Charts. Only think! The Large Ten Commandment Chart, and large Prophetic Chart, on fine bleached cloth, with key of explanation of the prophecies, for only $1.50. Send for these books by those coming to Conference. Are you poor, send for them and get them free without even paying postage.

BLASPHEMOUS ARROGANCE.
By J. H. W.
A WRITER in the Banner of Light says:
“If consciously I have lived so long superior to death, I surely am a life-principle, immortal as all other principles are in the universe, and as such in essence, species, and conscious identity, without beginning; for no principle is creatable. If superior to material change, I am an immortal future; I am an immortal past. If I am one, I am both; for eternity is all around, an inseparable unit. A future immortality only is not immortality; for what begins must end! As I live in the living present, essentially the same through all changes, I am past and I am future, ‘without beginning or ending of days.’”
This is the legitimate tendency of the doctrine of the inherent immortality of man. Claiming the eternity that belongs to God alone, they most emphatically endorse the Serpent’s falsehood, “Ye shall not surely die—ye shall be as gods.” J. H. W.
Note From Bro. Fuller.
By N. Fuller
OUR meeting at Nile Settlement has just closed, and I think with good results.
The next Monthly Meeting for the Allegany church will be at Wellsville, at the Proctor school-house, the third Sabbath in May. Come up to that meeting, one and all, prepared to work for the Lord, and we shall receive the blessing. Those who wish to be baptized, can have the privilege at that time, if they come prepared. N. FULLER.
Meetings in Hartland, Me.
By L. L. Howard
IN accordance with appointment, I attended the last Quarterly Meeting with this church. The weather was extremely cold, and traveling bad; but most of the members were present, and others reported by letter. The season of conference was excellent; we also enjoyed a precious season in attending the ordinances.
This church has thirty-five members. Six were added at this meeting, four were baptized, good union prevails and the Lord is working for them. They are taking hold of the health reform. I believe all the sisters present but one, had on the reform dress. Bro. Goodrich is a member of this church, and resides in the place. His faithful labors have been a help to them. They seem to have a good report of those that are without. I confidently look for accessions to their numbers.

Renew Your Paper Subscription
By Editor
Our present issue is No. 20, of Vol. 31. Six papers more will complete the volume. Now is the time to look at the direction labels, or pasters, on your papers and see how your account stands. Many are still in arrears on this volume from whom we have not yet heard. Many will have a good opportunity to bring to the Conference, or send by those coming, payments on the paper, for the past and future, of which we trust they will not be slow to avail themselves. If all will comply with the terms as far as possible, this, in connection with the donations of those who are prompt to remember the cause in their liberalities, will keep the paper free from embarrassment.
Some one has sent us $4.14 from Whitewater, Wis., for books and neglected to give his name.
