State Quarterly Meetings.

At Wolf Lake, Ind., Jan. 24, 25, 1880. Let all the districts report to the State Secretary, S. S. Shrock, Ligonier, Noble Co., Ind., immediately after the district meetings. We hope to have a full report of labor done in the State; also to see a large turnout at this meeting, as some important matters will be considered. S. H. Lane.
At Valparaiso, Saunders Co., on Sec. 8, Tp. 13, Range 6, Neb., Jan. 24 and 25. The State Secretary will attend, and a special effort will be made to impart instruction in book-keeping. The district secretaries and librarians are requested to be present with their official books. Let all bring a bundle of bedding. Chas. L. Boyd.
At Edgefield Junction, Tenn., Jan. 17, 18, first meeting to commence Friday, at 6:30 P. M. Let all who can possibly do so, come at the first.
Come prepared to cancel all your small debts and to pay what you can on our T. and M. fund. Our President will be absent, but we can have a good meeting, if we come imbued with the Holy Spirit.
Those who cannot come will send in a report, stating the cause of absence. Clinton Owens, Director.
At State Center, Iowa, Sabbath and Sunday, Jan. 24 and 25. We put this meeting one week later than usual, because we find it impossible for the Secretary to get in all the reports of the districts in time for a full report, if it is a week earlier. We hope all the district secretaries will make a special effort to have their reports sent to the State Secretary as early as possible. We want a general rally at this meeting of all the directors, State officers, ministers, and members who can consistently attend. It will be a most important meeting for the cause in our State. Geo. I. Butler, Pres. Iowa T. and M. S.
At the request of Eld. Grant, I announce a general meeting for Dist. No. 5, to be held at Lake City, Minn., beginning on the evening of the 16th of January, 1880, and continuing over Sabbath and Sunday. Also one at Lucas, Dunn. Co., Wis., to begin on the evening of Jan. 23, and hold over Sabbath and Sunday. Two or more of our speakers are expected to be present. It is earnestly desired that all our brethren who possibly can will be present at one or the other of these meetings; important matters will be considered.
Brethren, if we believe that we are living in the last days, and that God is leading us, we should be intensely anxious to know what he says, and to do what he requires. Let us come together, praying for his blessing. Let us make a covenant with him by sacrifice, and if we humble ourselves before him, he will surely bless our efforts.
Bring provisions and bedding, as there are but few brethren in each place. John Olive, Director.
At Noblesville, Ind., Jan. 3, 4. Hope to meet friends from Arcadia. S. H. Lane.
I expect to maintain the following appointments until the tent season opens: Nora, the first Sabbath and Sunday in the month; Belvidere, the fourth Sabbath and Sunday; and Rockford, the first Tuesday evening following the last appointment. C. H. Bliss.
Quarterly meeting at Nora, Ill., Jan. 3, 4. Let us have a good representation from Apple River, Greenville, and Winslow. Bring feed, provisions, and bedding, and come prepared to stay over Sunday. C. H. Bliss.
Nothing preventing, I will meet with the church at Avon, Wis., Jan. 17, 18. Meeting Friday evening. G. C. Tenney.

We will hold a general meeting at North Bloomfield, Jan. 2–5, also a similar one for the Sabbath-keepers of Cleveland, Peninsula, Bedford, and the surrounding locality, at North Solon, Ohio, Jan. 9–11. These meetings will commence on Friday evening. All should attend one or both of them, as important instructions relative to the cause will be given. Those coming from a distance should come on Friday. Let none stay away. D. M. Canright. R. A. Underwood.
