MINNESOTA AND IOWA STATE MEETINGS.

By O. A. Olsen

We wish to call the special attention of our people to these meetings. The one for Minnesota will be held at Minneapolis, Dec. 12-17. Minneapolis is the most accessible by railroad of any place in the State, thus affording the best opportunity for all to attend. The presence and help of Bro. Butler and Canright cannot be overestimated. Plans of labor for the coming year, and measures adopted by the late session of the General Conference, will be taken up, and measures taken to advance the work in the State. We therefore request that all our ministers, licentiates, and colporters, also directors and all who intend to take a special part in the work, and all others as far as possible, attend this meeting. Every meeting of this kind becomes more and more important, and should be appreciated accordingly.

In behalf of the church at Minneapolis, I would say that we extend a cheerful welcome to all. But I would further say that in view of the season of the year it would be well to bring bedding, straw-ticks, and other necessary things, as we expect a very large gathering. Later we shall give directions as to what part of the city the meeting will be held, etc.

The Iowa meeting will be held at State Center, Dec. 19-24. What we have said of the importance of the meeting in Minnesota applies also to the meeting in Iowa. And we hope to meet all the ministers and workers, and a very large attendance of our people.

We most earnestly desire that these meetings may be seasons of great blessing and profit to the cause in these States. The message is onward, and truly there never was a time when we should be more in deep earnest than now.

O. A. OLSEN.
