GENERAL MEETING FOR DAKOTA.

There will be a general meeting held at Bridgewater, Dakota, Jan. 9–15, 1885. We expect this gathering will be a very important one, and we hope to see a general attendance from all parts of the Conference. As time passes, each of these general meetings becomes more important than the last. We expect the presence and labors of Eld. O. A. Olsen, which we are sure will be appreciated by all. We especially desire our T. and M. directors, secretaries, librarians, and all our workers to be present. Secretaries and librarians should bring their books. The church at Bridgewater have cheerfully undertaken the work of caring for those who may attend the meeting. They have also recently built a commodious house of worship. Let all who can do so come prepared to take care of themselves as far as possible by bringing bedding and provisions. All will see the necessity of this; but none should stay away because they cannot care for themselves. All such will be cheerfully provided for. Many important questions will be considered at this meeting, and we hope you will come, brethren, praying for and expecting the blessing of God; and from this time let it be a subject of prayer that God may meet with us and bless his people. A. D. OLSEN, for Com.

I will meet with the church at Weston, Iowa, Dec. 27, 28. Will be glad to see at that meeting the scattered brethren in that vicinity. O. A. OLSEN.

The next quarterly meeting for Dist. No. 2, Iowa, will be held at Lisbon, Jan. 10–12, 1885. J. T. MITCHELL, Director.

Quarterly meeting for Dist. No. 11, Kan., will be held with the Centerville church the second Sabbath and Sunday in January, 1885. J. W. BAGBY, Director.

Otsego, Mich., Dec. 26 to Jan. 4. We invite all the scattered members of the church to meet with us in these meetings on both Sabbaths, and in the week between if they can. D. M. CANRIGHT.

The quarterly meeting for Dist. No. 2, Dakota, will be held at Swan Lake, Jan. 3, 4. Would like to see the workers present, as we have important things to tell them. Would also be thankful if some minister could be present. E. O. BURGESS, Director.

I will hold quarterly meeting with the Charlotte church Dec. 26–28; and with the church at Eaton Rapids, Jan. 2–5, 1885. I. D. VAN HORN.

The church quarterly meetings for Dakota will be held the last Sabbath and Sunday in December, and the district quarterly meetings the first Sabbath and Sunday in January. We hope all will be prompt in sending in their reports. A. D. OLSEN.

No hindering providence, I will hold meetings at Thorntown, Boone Co., Ind., Dec. 27, 28; at Farmersburg, Sullivan Co., Jan. 2–7, 1885; Coal City, Jan. 9–12; Patricksburg, Jan. 13–18. I would like to see a general attendance at all these places. It may be the last time I shall visit you, as I expect to labor in another field. S. H. LANE.

The quarterly meeting of Dist. No. 3, Mich., will be held with the church at Mendon, Jan. 10, 11. Those coming from the northern part of the State on the Grand Rapids and Ind. R. R. will stop at Portage Lake; those from the southern part will stop at Mendon, where teams will be waiting for them. All thus coming are requested to be at Portage Lake on the 3:20 P.M. train, and at Mendon on the noon train, Jan. 9. Hope each church will be represented, that the standing of each in the missionary work may be learned, and plans laid for successful work the coming year. It is hoped that Eld. M. B. Miller will be with us, and others of our ministering brethren. Let us come with one heart, seeking for the blessing of the Lord. CALVIN GREEN, Director.

Quarterly meeting for Dist. No. 1, Kan., will be held with the Bull City church, Jan. 3, 4. It being one week earlier than the usual time, it will be necessary that the local Societies hold their church and business meetings one week earlier so as to be able to make reports. Bro. C. Flaiz will be in attendance, and wishes a general attendance of all the brethren and sisters. WM. EVERINGTON, Director.

The quarterly meeting of Dist. No. 2, Ind., will be held at Walkerton, Jan. 10, 11, 1885. It is greatly desired that some one of our ministers attend that meeting. WM. R. CARPENTER, Director.

There will be a two days’ meeting at Wright, beginning Jan. 10. It is hoped that there will be a large gathering of our brethren from all the churches throughout the district. This will probably be my last opportunity of seeing the members of Dist. No. 5, as it is now expected that I go to the Pacific coast next month. Will Eld. Fargo meet with us at this time? I would be greatly pleased to see at this meeting Bro. J. D. Gowel. E. P. DANIELS.

Providence permitting, I will meet with the friends near Albany, Wis., Jan. 3, 4. W. W. SHARP.

There will be a Sabbath-school Convention held in connection with the general meeting at Bridgewater, Jan. 9–15, 1885.

The quarterly meeting for Dist. No. 8, Mich., will be held at Vassar, Jan. 10, 11, 1885. All Tract Society officers and workers are requested to be present. E. S. GRIGGS, Director.

I will meet with the church at Rome, N. Y., in their regular quarterly meeting, Jan. 3, 4. I feel exceedingly anxious (1) that every member of that church who can attend shall be present; and (2) that every one who is not able to attend in person shall report by letter. Please read carefully the article from Sr. White in the REVIEW of Dec. 16; and may the principles therein set forth be pondered well by every one of us, and be so acted upon by each as to fit all for the best quarterly occasion we have ever enjoyed. E. W. WHITNEY.
