T. AND M. INSTITUTE AT OAKLAND, WIS.

By Wisconsin Conference Committee

THIS meeting will commence Tuesday evening, March 16, instead of the 18th, as announced last week, and will continue until Tuesday evening, March 23. Teams will meet trains at Edgerton, C. M. & St. P. R. R. and at Ft. Atkinson C. & N. W. R. R. on Tuesday, the 16th.

We hope to be favored at this Institute with the presence and counsel of Bro. White. This should secure the attendance of every one of our leading brethren and the T. and M. officers and workers generally.

Eld. B. L. Whitney, of New York, who is to conduct the Institute, is eminently qualified for the work. Bro. Decker will be present, and from there will go to Colorado, his temporary field of labor. This will be an interesting and important meeting, and we hope for a large attendance of all our people in whose behalf it is held. Each local society should at least be represented by its librarian.

Let us pray that the Spirit of God may attend in large measure, to quicken our zeal and understanding, and give us better views of the great work we are engaged in and the relations we should sustain to it.

WISCONSIN CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.

THE LIBERTY CENTER MEETING.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

The time for this important meeting is drawing near; viz., March 23 to April 5. We wish to see a large attendance from each church in the district. There is not a Sabbath-keeper who does not need the benefit of this meeting. Some have not been out to a general meeting or to a camp-meeting for years, and consequently they have lost much of their interest in the general cause. Come, brethren, attend this meeting, and arouse to the work. We expect to have a profitable occasion. The regular work of the Institute will begin on Tuesday afternoon. As far as possible, all should be there then; but especially must every librarian in the district attend all through. We are anxious and determined to see the T. and M. work in Ohio in perfect running order. To accomplish this, we must attend these general gatherings. D. M. CANRIGHT.

NOTICE

ON account of the General Conference to convene in Battle Creek this week, there will be no paper next week. The week following there will probably be issued a double number, containing the doings of the Conference, and much other interesting matter.

Blanks for Ministers' Quarterly Reports Now Ready

Blanks for ministers' quarterly reports are now ready, in accordance with the instructions of the General Conference at its last session. Each State Secretary should immediately order a supply for the ministers in his State. We send specimens to each Secretary.

THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

By James White

The political campaign for 1880 will probably absorb the public mind to a greater degree than any preceding presidential election. We do not call the attention of our people to this subject in order to enlist their special interest in it; for however great may be the influence of the coming campaign upon the destiny of the nation, we as a people, as Adventists, have before us an all-absorbing subject, and a work of the greatest importance, from which our minds should not be diverted.

As a people, we should waive all feelings of prejudice in favor of or against the North or the South. It should be our study to adapt ourselves, as far as possible without compromising truth, to all who come within the reach of our influence, and at the same time stand free from the strife and corruptions of the parties that are striving for the mastery.

The revelations of the changing administrations of our day have been fully sufficient to shake confidence in political partisans. Let us keep about our work, trusting in that overruling Hand that has hitherto guided the affairs of nations. J. W.
