Michigan State Conference.

By I. D. Van Horn

THE Michigan State Conference of S. D. Adventists will hold its seventh annual session at Battle Creek, Mich., Wednesday, May 15, 1867, at 9 o'clock, A. M. Let there be a faithful representation by delegates or letters from all the churches. Churches who wish to join the Conference should also make their wishes known at this meeting. Let all delegates and ministers come prepared to make the various reports to the Conference that the Constitution requires.

By order of the Committee, I. D. VAN HORN, Secretary.

Appointments.

By Uriah Smith

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

General Conference.

WITH a growing assurance that we understand our position on the prophetic chart; that the third angel's message is the leading truth for this time; and that the warning should immediately be heralded more fully through the land, as the evidences of the shortness of time, and the Lord's soon coming are accumulating on every side, the General Conference Committee call the fifth annual session of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, to take into consideration the interests of the cause, and devise such means as may be in our power for its further and speedy advancement.

The meeting will convene in Battle Creek Mich., Tuesday, May 14, commencing at 9 o'clock, A. M. It is very desirable that every section of the field should be represented, by delegate, if possible, if not, by letter. The cause is one; and it is the province of the General Conference to consult for the best interest of the whole; hence it will be necessary to know, as far as possible, the situation and wants of all. Delegates should be chosen in season by the different State Committees, and duly provided with credentials. In those localities where there is no State Conference yet organized, brethren can represent themselves by delegate, or letter, at their discretion.

Delegates will please be particular to act on the resolution passed at the General Conference of May 16, 1866, which reads as follows:

“Resolved, That the delegates from each State Conference should be prepared to furnish to the General Conference the statistics of their respective Conferences; and it is hereby requested of the Secretaries of the several Conferences that they furnish the delegates of their own Conferences, such statistics, specifying the number of ministers and licentiates, the number of churches, the number of the membership, and the total amount of their S. B. funds, &c.”

PROPOSED CHANGE OF THE CONSTITUTION. It is proposed to change Art. IX of the Constitution by striking out the proviso contained therein, and changing the words “two-thirds vote,” to “three-fourths vote.” The Article now reads as follows:

“Art. IX. This Constitution may be altered or amended by a two-thirds vote of the delegates present at any regular meeting: Provided, That any proposed amendment shall be communicated to the Executive Committee, and notice thereof given by them in their call for the meeting of the Conference.”

If amended as proposed, it will read as follows:

“Art. IX. This Constitution may be altered or amended by a three-fourths vote of the delegates present at any meeting.”

The reason for this proposed change is this: As brethren are consulting together in General Conference, it frequently happens that matters come up involving a change of the Constitution, upon which it would be expedient to take immediate action; but the change in the Constitution not having been announced with the call for the meeting, no action can be taken till the following year.

For the Committee. U. SMITH, Secretary.

Part of a Paper.

By Editor

If a piece of the Review, accidentally falling into the hands of an honest inquirer, is sufficient to raise the interest indicated below, what good may not be done by circulating whole papers freely in all parts of the land? Such instances as the following are calculated to encourage us to liberal efforts in this direction. And let there be united prayer that the truth may find its way to the honest in heart, multitudes of whom, like the seven thousand reserved unto God in Elijah's time, have not yet bowed the knee to Baal. A friend writes:—

“TO THE EDITOR OF THE ADVENT REVIEW AND SABBATH HERALD, Sir: I have obtained one of your papers, or part of one, and have become so much interested in it, that I write for the purpose of finding your office. I know not your name; but if this reaches you, please send me a copy of your paper that I may know your address. Also please send me a catalogue of your books. I was much pleased with the truth I found in the part of the paper I saw.”

As it is decided to enlarge the Review again at the commencement of the next volume, all money hereafter received on subscriptions for the same, will be credited thereafter at the rate of $3.00 a year, as that will be the regular rate from that time.

Our subscribers therefore will please bear this fact in mind and make their remittances accordingly.

Packages of Tracts

By J. M. A.

We call particular attention to the Packages of Tracts, a list of which was given in the Review of April 2. These are very convenient for our brethren to order and for us to mail, and just the thing to distribute among our friends.

We shall be glad to fill a great many orders for these packages. J. M. A.

To Our Friends.

By James White

We are very thankful for the assistance of brethren at Washington and Pilot Grove, Iowa, and other places, in the form of lent money, which was much needed. And yet, until we can sell, we need to borrow a few hundred more for a few months. We have bought a cheap place, and a cheap house is in process of building. In order to meet debts, and proceed with the work, we need, just now, five hundred dollars. If our friends, who would esteem it a pleasure to help us, will send us one or more hundreds, we will give them the security they wish, and will be much obliged to them, and will pay them on ten day's notice. Please respond immediately, as we leave for the North in less than two weeks.

Certificate.

By G. W. COLCORD

This is to certify that, at a meeting held at Bro. Wick's in Clyde, Ill., on the eve of March 13, 1867, by the Bro. and sisters convened, it was

Voted, That we, the church of S. D. Adventists of Clyde, Illinois, do pledge ourselves to favor, and help to sustain, a second enlargement of the Review and Herald.

Judging by the past, and considering the difference which the previous enlargement has made in the Review's usefulness, we declare ourselves to be in favor of a second increase of size.

By order of the church, G. W. COLCORD, Clerk.

Notice.

By JOHN E. DAY

I WOULD like to obtain the services of several Sabbath-keepers for the coming summer. My business is brick-making. I live within twenty rods of the S. D. Advent meeting-house in Lapeer. I will give the highest wages. Any of the brethren, single or married, can obtain steady employment, and also further information by addressing me at this place.
