THE OHIO STATE CONFERENCE.

This Conference will be held, Providence permitting, at Lovett’s Grove, commencing on Thursday, August 1, at 6 o’clock, P. M., when the Conference will be organized.

As the churches in Ohio were only partially represented last year, it is very necessary and desirable that all the S. D. A. churches in this State be represented by delegates, at the coming Conference. A cordial invitation is extended to all who can come, to attend with us at this meeting.

Delegates will please not forget to bring full reports from the churches they represent; also their credentials.

Teams will be at Tontogany, on the Dayton and Mich. R. R., on Thursday, August 1, from 12 M. till 5 P. M., to bring all who may come to the meeting.

A cordial invitation is extended to Bro. Longhborough, or some one of the General Conference Committee to attend this Conference. Brn. Waggoner and Van Horn will be present.

By order of the Committee. JOS. CLARK. Secretary.

The Lord helping us, we will hold meetings as follows: Canaan, beginning Sabbath, July 13, and holding over the following Sabbath and Sunday.

Eddington, Sabbath and Sunday, July 27 and 28. Eld. Goodrich will be at Hartland, Sabbath and Sunday, Aug. 3 and 4. Eld. Canright will be at Norridgewock at the same time.

Athens, beginning Sabbath, Aug. 10, and holding over the following Sabbath and Sunday. D. M. CANRIGHT. J. B. GOODRICH.

Providence permitting, I will meet with the church of Poy Sippi, Wis., for Quarterly Meeting, Sabbath, July 27. The Meetings will begin Sabbath morning at 9 o’clock, and continue over first-day. We cordially invite the scattered brethren and neighboring churches to meet with us. Come in the fear of God, and he will bless us. JOHN MATTESON.

A GOOD CHANCE TO ECONOMIZE.

By J. HIERLAND

I HAVE frequently noticed in the Review something about tea money or tobacco money, and the persons giving an explanation of it, stated that they had used those articles, and now had quit using them and thereby saved money to give to the cause of present truth.

So in a similar manner I will mention another point. We kept a dog or two and supposed they were useful animals around the house; but after reading “Health, or How to Live,” I became satisfied that animal food was injurious to health, and dispensed with its use, and removed all hogs dead or alive from off my farm, and consequently had no more flesh for the dog. But the dog being a carnivorous animal, became poor or lean and expensive; so I removed him also as well as the hog; and we are satisfied that in two years we have saved five dollars by so doing which I will now donate to the fund to enlarge the Review a second time.

A hint to a Seventh-day Adventist is usually sufficient. J. HIERLAND.

TO THE CHURCHES OF THE N. Y. & PA. CONFERENCE.

By R. F. Cottrell

Dear Brethren:—You will see by the published appointments that you have no promise of ministerial labor at your Quarterly Meetings for the present quarter, which closes the Conference year. The demand for labor in new fields, and in places which promise most good as missionary fields, has induced your ministers, in conference assembled, to make this arrangement, feeling that the cause in which we are engaged demands that the message shall be carried out into the “highways and hedges.” Time is short, and the last call is urgent; and the church is, and always should be, a missionary society. It is our duty as a people to send out the message which God has called us to publish abroad.

Now brethren, do not think that your Quarterly Meetings will not be very interesting, because you are not to have ministerial labor; but come together to labor for the Lord, and make them interesting; and unitedly pray the Lord of the harvest to bless the labors of his servants in the salvation of souls. Let every one feel a share of the responsibility of the momentous work which God has entrusted to our care; and not forget that success depends on our standing in the place where we may share largely of his Holy Spirit; for it is not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit of God, that the work is to be effected.

R. F. COTTRELL.

HOW TO SPOIL YOUR MINISTERS.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

MINISTERS are men with like passions as other men. They are subject to pride and vanity as are others. They cannot always withstand temptation better than other men. People who love their ministers should remember this. By the way some of our good brethren and sisters talk to their ministers, it would seem, as though they had entirely forgotten this. Often we hear them saying to them, “What an excellent sermon you preached this morning, it was so plain that it seems as though any body might understand it. I never heard that subject made so plain before. You are just the person that is needed here; no one else could do so well,” &c., &c. If those good brethren and sisters would stop to think a moment, they might know that they were feeding the pride of their minister, and thus taking his strength and power from him. Such remarks are very wrong, and should be very carefully uttered. If you appreciate what your minister says, the best way to show it is by doing what he tells you. It is right to speak words of encouragement, but you should be careful that they are not words of flattery. See on this point, Testimony, No. 11.

D. M. CANRIGHT. Cornville, Me.

A Thought for the Discontented.

IN the days of the Old Brewery, at the five points, New York, a woman and her only daughter, a child five years of age, occupied a loathsome corner on the first floor. It was the custom of the mother, after having covered the child with rags which had been collected during the day, to place a few broken boards, dignified by the title of “door,” in such a position as probably kept the horrible place half a degree warmer than it would have been without such a shelter. On one occasion, after the mother had adjusted the boards for the night, the child, probably experiencing some sensation of comfort, said: “Mother, what does poor people do, that’s got no door to cover them?”
