MICHIGAN STATE MEETING.

The Michigan State quarterly meeting will be held at Greenville, and will continue as long as the interest may demand. First meeting, Jan. 16, 1885, at 7 P. M. This will, or should be, a very important meeting. Therefore we expect a very large representation of our people from all parts of the State. The importance of the times in which we live and the work in which we are engaged, demands a large attendance of brethren and sisters and friends of the cause. Being held at Greenville a large number of our people in the northern part of the State will have the privilege of attending, who did not have the opportunity of attending the camp-meeting at Jackson or the General Conference at Battle Creek, and we hope such will make a special effort to be present. The house of worship in this city will be dedicated on Sunday, the 18th. Those coming should bring buffalo robes, trunks of bedding, etc., to aid in caring for themselves as far as is consistent. Efforts will be made to get reduction of fare on the D. L. and N. R. R. Elds. Butler and Van Horn, and other speakers, will be present.

J. Fargo, Pres.

The district meeting of Dist. No. 8, Ill., will be held Jan. 9–11 inclusive, at Bluford. All the workers in the canvassing and temperance work are requested to be present, as far as possible, as matters of importance will be considered at the meeting. Eld. Steward and others will be here to instruct us in the way more perfectly.

L. A. Logan, Director.

SABBATH-SCHOOL CONVENTION.

A Sabbath-school convention will be held at Eagle Lake, Minn., commencing Jan. 16, 1885. This will be one of the most important meetings ever held in the State, in the interests of this important branch of our work. Nothing will be left undone to make it both interesting and instructive. Great care will be taken in arranging the exercises and securing the best help possible. We hope to see representatives from every school in the Conference; if not, let such as cannot send delegates report by letter. It is our earnest desire that at this meeting such plans may be laid as will better enable us to reach the grand object of the Sabbath-school. All who can, bring bedding.

J. Fulton.

GENERAL MEETING FOR DIST. NO. 5, INDIANA.

This meeting will be held at Noblesville, Jan. 13–20, 1885. The tract and missionary meeting is appointed Jan. 18, at 9 A. M. Desiring to make this occasion one of profit to all, we have decided to make a new departure in our manner of labor. The cardinal points of our faith will be taken up, beginning with the prophecies. We request all, brethren and sisters and friends, to bring their Bibles, also notebooks and pencils, to take notes; and each evening after the first, before commencing the discourse, there will be a review on the subject of the previous evening. Services to begin at 7 P. M., standard time. Each day except Sabbath and first day, we desire to spend from 9:30 to 11 A. M. in Bible-readings and social meetings.

In view of the perils just before us, we must avail ourselves of every opportunity to store our minds with the solid truth which will be necessary to rivet us to the Rock of Ages when the Lord arises to shake terribly the earth. We earnestly request all who possibly can do so to arrange to attend these meetings, and have all your neighbors that can be induced to be present get the benefit of them. We owe a duty to our fellow-men; and it is high time we were earnestly engaged in its discharge. Let all come praying that God may bless. Wm. Covert.

MICHIGAN SABBATH-SCHOOL WORKERS, ATTENTION.

In connection with the State T. and M. meeting to be held at Greenville, Mich., commencing Jan. 6, there will be an effort made to advance the Sabbath-school interests. Will Sabbath-school officers and teachers within reach of this meeting be present? As this will be the first meeting of the kind that we have had for some time, in the State, we trust all will come prepared to take hold and make the meeting a success.

M. B. Miller, Pres. Mich. S. S. Assoc.

APPOINTMENTS FOR OHIO.
