SECOND MEETING, JUNE 8, 8:30 A. M. Prayer by Eld. S. N. Haskell.
Reports of committees were called for. The committee on nominations reported as follows: For president, Eld. I. D. Van Horn; secretary, Eld. Alonzo T. Jones; treasurer, John Donaldson; executive committee, I. D. Van Horn, T. H. Starbuck, and S. Maxon. The report was adopted, and the nominees declared elected for the ensuing year.
The committee on resolutions submitted the following:—
Resolved, That we render a tribute of thanksgiving to God for his great goodness and mercy in affording us the opportunity of attending this camp-meeting, and for his rich blessing upon us in our worship.
Resolved, That we tender our grateful thanks to the General Conference for the help, and good counsel, and instruction they have furnished us in the person and labors of Eld. S. N. Haskell.
Whereas, The gift of prophecy has been inseparably connected with the great work of the third angel’s message from its earliest beginning, therefore
Resolved, That we consider this subject of great importance to all of our brethren and sisters; and
Whereas, We consider the reading of the “Testimonies” and the “Spirit of Prophecy” one of the best means of removing the prejudice that exists against this phase of our faith, therefore
Resolved, That we deem it duty for all of our churches to possess a circulating library of these works.
Whereas, Knowing as we do, by the word of the Lord, the important events that are just before us, in the perilous times upon the earth, and the coming of the Son of man from Heaven, and that to meet these things requires a preparation in body, as well as in spirit, therefore
Resolved, That we deem essential, and that we will make daily, a more thorough application of the principles of hygiene, or, in other words, the health reform.
After the reading of these resolutions, they were taken up separately, and the third, fourth, and fifth, particularly, were spoken upon quite freely by a number of the brethren, and passed unanimously.
Whereas, Licenses were granted to persons in this Conference the past year, none of which have been used, and
Whereas, This sets us in a false light before the General Conference, in that it represents a strength that we by no means possess, therefore
Resolved, That henceforth no licenses shall be granted, except to persons who will use them, and not to these until they shall signify their purpose to give themselves to the work, for at least a portion of the time; provided that nothing in this resolution shall be so construed as to prohibit the freedom of any person in the exercise of whatever gift he may possess.
After considerable discussion the resolution was referred to the committee on credentials and licenses.
Whereas, The expense for traveling is so very great for the necessary delegates to pass from one part of the Conference to the other, at the annual sessions, therefore
Resolved, That we deem a division of the Conference on the line of the Cascade Mountains for the best interests of the cause, and therefore
Resolved, That we request the General Conference to grant us permission to make such division, and that all east of the Cascade Mountains be called the Walla Walla Conference.
After quite an animated discussion the Conference adjourned.
THIRD MEETING, JUNE 9, 5:45 P. M. Prayer by Eld. Raymond. Minutes of last meeting read and accepted.
A consideration of the two last-named resolutions was resumed, and after mature deliberation, it was moved that these resolutions be laid on the table. Carried.
Resolved, That we are grateful to God that Eld. I. D. Van Horn has been permitted to labor among us so long; that we appreciate his work as being earnest, faithful, and true under all circumstances, and that we desire that he shall remain in this Conference.
The committee on credentials and licenses recommended the renewal of the credentials of Elders I. D. Van Horn, Alonzo T. Jones, and Wm. L. Raymond. Adopted and so ordered. For licenses: J. C. Bunch, S. Maxon, Wm. Russell, T. H. Starbuck, J. F. Wood, J. N. Bunch, J. A. Smith, and S. S. Caston. Adopted and so ordered. The names of Brn. S. A. DeVaney, Wm. Leavitt, and A. G. Roberts were referred to the Conference Committee.
Voted, That this Conference adopt the tithing system.
Voted, That this Conference pay a tithe of its tithes to the General Conference.
Voted, That we have a camp-meeting in the Walla Walla Valley next year.
Voted, That a copy of these proceedings be sent to the Signs and Review for publication.
Adjourned.

MORMON MARRIAGES.

REYNOLDS, THE FIRST MORMON CONVICTED OF POLYGAMY, ON HIS WAY TO THE NEBRASKA PENITENTIARY.—MILES' CASE TO BE CARRIED TO THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
Omaha, Neb., June 18.—George Reynolds, formerly private secretary of the late Brigham, and the first Mormon convicted of bigamy under the United States laws of 1862, arrived here this afternoon from Salt Lake City in charge of George A. Black, formerly Secretary of State of Utah, and Shaughnessy, brother of the United States Marshal. He will be taken to the Nebraska Penitentiary, at Lincoln, to-morrow. The sentence was two years' imprisonment and $500 fine. The case has been pending since October, 1874, and has been made a test case of the constitutionality of the anti-polygamy laws. It was finally settled by the Supreme Court of the United States on the 6th day of January last, the judgment of the lower court being affirmed, where he was first sentenced to imprisonment, and hard labor ordered. In re-sentencing, the hard labor portion was omitted. Reynolds was selected for a test case, as he had been previously married, and could not plead statute limitation. The case was fought very hard, every step bringing out every legal point possible.
Miles, another Mormon recently found guilty, was sentenced to five years' imprisonment. These two are the only convictions obtained thus far. Miles' case will be carried to the United States Supreme Court on several points not developed in the previous case. Reynolds is reticent as to the effect of the convictions on the policy of the Mormon Church, and says he is not authorized to express any opinion. The officers say the prosecutions will continue.
The leaders of the church will not be interfered with, as they can plead statute limitation. Any new cases of polygamy, where the difficulty surrounding secret marriages according to the forms of the Mormon Church can be overcome, will be prosecuted to conviction and punishment according to the rules. In the Nebraska Penitentiary, Reynolds will wear the prison costume and be put to work immediately.—Inter-Ocean.

OHIO

By Wm. Beebe

Norwalk.—June 14, 15, met with the little band of Sabbath-keepers in Republic. I found them firm in the truth, with an excellent Sabbath-school, taking five copies of the weekly Instructor. Held four meetings, with the best of attention. In the social meeting all took part. There is considerable interest outside, but no suitable place for meetings can be procured at present. Hope to see them all members of the T. and M. society soon. Wm. BEEBE.

New Antioch

By Dudley Marvin Canright

New Antioch.—Have just closed meetings here, which have been attended with good results. Three years ago, Eld. T. J. Butler was here with a tent, and raised one of the largest interests that we have ever had in Ohio. Thousands attended, and the whole country was mightily moved; but unfortunately the work was not followed up as it should have been, and only about thirty-five came out decidedly for the truth. These were left without being fully instructed, and for three years they had but very little help. Consequently the little company here was much discouraged, and not fully united with us. Yet they have continued to observe the Sabbath, and have kept up meetings.
June 19, Bro. Gates pitched his tent here, and we spent two weeks laboring wholly for the brethren. All attended promptly, and took a deep interest in the meetings. Having formerly been Campbellites, few of them were accustomed to praying in the family or speaking in meeting. As we spoke upon our duty in these things, all were moved to tears, several spoke for the first time, and a number of young people made a start. We then held a meeting for the youth, in which a dozen participated. It was a happy season. Then we had one for the older people, in which all spoke and prayed, with one exception. All seemed humble and willing to learn.
Last Sabbath we organized a church of twenty-four members, after which nine were baptized. It was as sweet and solemn a meeting as I have attended of late. Sunday we spoke on the tithing system, after which all signed the tithing pledge. We also raised $27.50 for the Sabbath-school, blank books, and Sr. White’s books.
Sunday evening we closed with the Lord’s supper. We left the friends here greatly encouraged. We hope to return next fall, and see many others gathered in. D. M. CANRIGHT.

ONTARIO

By John W. Moore; F. T. Wales

Chatham, July 1.—Our tent meetings are creating great excitement in this city at present. Elder Battisby, D. D., Presbyterian minister, advertised to speak on the Christian Sabbath a week ago last Sunday. Our congregation all attended. We took notes, and announced a review for last Sunday at 3 P. M. He took several positions, in which he contradicted himself, and presented a very weak argument to sustain the Sunday Sabbath. The people turned out en masse to hear the review. The capacity of our tent was altogether insufficient for the accommodation of the crowd. The evening following the review, we spoke on the change of the Sabbath. Since then, we have been speaking on the prophecies. Some have accepted the truth. One of these is a lady whose mother was a sister of Dr. Adam Clarke, she herself having been a missionary and public speaker for many years; and now in her old age she rejoices in the light of present truth. She is an accomplished scholar in the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin languages.
I will also mention another case, that of a young colored man, a fine classical scholar, who has been for two years a teacher in a university in Demerara, South America, and who has first-class letters of recommendation from men high in authority there. He left his home in South America to go to Toronto to take a medical course of study. While in Baltimore, Maryland, he was robbed of his money, and left destitute of means in a strange land. He had only his clothing and about $150 worth of books left. He came to this place, where he had some friends who were favorable to our views; he attended our lectures, and has accepted the truth. He is now anxious to attend our college at Battle Creek for a year, and learn more of the truth and the workings of the cause, and then return to South America and preach the third angel’s message. He reads and speaks the French language, as well as all the dead languages. Have we not some brethren who will aid this young man in preparing himself for usefulness in the Master’s cause? We request the prayers of God’s people for the work in Ontario.

WISCONSIN TEMPERANCE MEETING.

By G. O. Tenney

This meeting, held at Madison, June 16, 1879, was called for the purpose of organizing a State temperance society. The meeting opened with singing, and prayer by Eld. H. W. Decker.
On motion, H. W. Decker was elected chairman, and S. S. Smith secretary pro tem. After the reading of the constitution recommended by the National Health and Temperance Association, in the organization of State societies, remarks were made by Elder Jas. White and W. C. White, explaining the object and privileges of such society.
On motion, the Chair appointed the following nominating committee: M. E. Crandall, T. B. Snow, C. K. Ackley.
Seven persons were appointed as solicitors to canvass for pledges. While the solicitations were being made, Elder White gave the origin of the teetotal pledge as sustained by the National Health and Temperance Association.
On motion, the constitution was adopted. The society was permanently organized by the election of the following officers: President, Eld. G. C. Tenney; vice-president, O. A. Olsen; secretary, Mrs. M. A. Kerr; assistant secretary, O. A. Johnson.
The solicitors reported as follows:— No. pledged, 138; No. paid, 95; money received, $23.85.
G. O. TENNEY, Pres.
M. A. KERR, Sec.

REMARKS.

Though but few of our people were present to participate in the organization of the society as above reported, we trust it will receive the sanction and co-operation of all. Its object is the promotion of Bible temperance, and the dissemination of practical knowledge of the laws of health. The work should interest all believers in present truth, and should be extended to all who can be reached by our influence.
The president of our Conference, Bro. Decker, will act as a general agent for the organization as he visits different sections. Officers of the T. and M. society and church elders should consider themselves agents. Signers of the pledges should be solicited, and the names and money sent to the secretary, Mattie Kerr, Monroe, Wis. Upon application to sister Kerr, all who wish to engage in this work will be supplied with blank pledges and certificates, and with instructions how to proceed. The locality of members and whence the money comes will be carefully kept, and when local clubs are formed these may be transferred from the general to the local society. Any one may become a member by signing one of the pledges; but only those who pay the fee, twenty-five cents, will be entitled to the engraved certificates. And only those signing the teetotal pledge and paying the initiation fee will be eligible to office.
A general movement upon this subject is being made all along the line. We want to see Wisconsin moving. Let us act out the light we have. Next fall at our general meeting we hope to have plans matured for the winter campaign, when we expect to see a grand work accomplished.
G. O. TENNEY, Pres.

Episcopalians and Tobacco.

The Detroit Evening News of a recent date rescues the following item from a report to a religious convention, and thus saves from comparative oblivion a powerful sermon on the subject of tobacco, exposing the fearful waste by professed Christians, on this dirty indulgence, of means which should be devoted to better uses. Forty thousand dollars a year in only one diocese of one denomination in a portion of a single State, sacrificed to this miserable Moloch, is a frightful picture.
“One shudders to think of the amount of tobacco which must be used by the Episcopalians of Michigan. In a report of what was done at the Western Michigan diocesan convention at Grand Rapids, Rev. J. S. Large, of Big Rapids, is quoted as saying that if the church members of the diocese would give up tobacco for three months, and apply the amount of money thus saved to missionary work, they would be able to raise $10,000.”

NO USE.

By Editor

We frequently receive letters from church clerks asking us to publish notices to the absent members of their churches to attend such a meeting or report at such a time, etc. But experience has shown that it is impossible to reach such persons through the REVIEW, for in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, persons who go off and do not keep their church informed of their whereabouts are altogether too careless and have too little interest to take the REVIEW. If the clerk knows their address, the proper way is for him to address them by letter.

THE COTTON CHURCH.

Under this heading, the Denison (Texas) Daily Herald, of May 29, 1879, publishes the following generous and noble tribute from the citizens of Denison to the character of Eld. R. M. Kilgore, and his Christian labors in that place. While we know that Bro. Kilgore is laboring with a sincere desire to do men good, we are glad to know that he is finding many friends in Texas who appreciate his motives and recognize the character of his labors, though they may not agree with his arguments. We quote the article of the Herald, which reads as follows:—
At the meeting in the park last night, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted by the assemblage.
Fifty-three names were appended to the resolution. It is due to Elder Kilgore to state that these resolutions were drawn up and signed without any effort or knowledge of his:—
It is, unquestionably, the duty of Christians to uphold and support, under all circumstances, those who are laboring for the welfare of mankind; and to show in some appropriate manner their appreciation for such services, notwithstanding their religious faiths may not be in harmony.
We rely upon the axiom: “By their works (fruits) ye shall know them.” Therefore, be it Resolved, That in the person of Elder R. M. Kilgore we recognize an embodiment of the true gentleman, and an earnest and faithful Christian.
2. That our unfeigned thanks are tendered him for the fearless manner in which he has expounded his views of the Bible, and for the gentlemanly bearing he has maintained while in this place toward those who have seen fit to denounce his religious faith as a delusion and a fraud.
3. That, as Christians, our prayers shall go with him to every field of labor; as non-professors, we tender our best wishes and support; as fellow-citizens, we bid him God speed in all his efforts to arouse mankind to a more healthful reflection on the truths of the Bible.

BLOOMING GROVE SABBATH-SCHOOL.

By D. W. Reavis

We found this school in the best condition of any we have visited. They conduct the exercises in a manner well calculated to awaken an interest in Bible study. Their singing is splendid. All the exercises are full of life and interest. They see and feel the importance of good Sabbath-schools, and are determined to make theirs one of that class.
They have a branch school about two miles from the church, to accommodate some who cannot go so far, and to have the privilege of teaching nineteen little children, most of whom are children of parents that are almost persuaded to keep the Sabbath. Of course the parents come with the children, and are very much interested. Secure the children, and, with but few exceptions, you will get the parents. These schools are taking hold of the work just right; and if they continue in well doing, their membership, which is now sixty-six, will be increased.
D. W. REAVIS.

V. M. SOCIETIES, ATTENTION.

By John W. Moore

The first of June we appealed to our V. M. societies through the columns of the REVIEW for help for Ontario. As yet only two societies have responded. Some are doing nobly; but others in our strongest Conferences have not yet been heard from. The State of Minnesota, the home of the writer, has not as yet sent a single response. This is one of the best fields for missionary labor in the world. It costs no more to send the papers here than to the States. Here are 4,000,000 souls to be warned by the third angel's message, and only one tent company in the field. We have two men spending all their time in canvassing for our publications, obtaining paying subscribers, and getting the names of interested readers, for the use of V. M. societies, and we are now prepared to furnish the names and post-office addresses of two thousand persons in Ontario who are willing to investigate. Every week we are hearing of some who have embraced the truth by reading. Let every V. M. society in the land respond to this appeal, by informing us at once how many numbers of the Signs or REVIEW you will furnish.
Address, JOHN W. MOORE. Chatham, Ontario, Canada.

QUESTIONS FOR ILLINOIS.

By G. W. Colcord

1. Do all our church-members pay a tithe of their earnings to the cause of the Lord?
2. Do all our scattered and lonely friends prove that they love the cause of truth by paying the tithe for its support?
3. Do all the friends of truth in Illinois know that we are trying to pay for, and support, the sixth tent in our Conference, this season?
4. Can they not see, therefore, that every cent of the Lord’s tithe is wanted to give our laborers even a limited support?
5. Can they not see that all our tent-pledges should be redeemed, and as early as practicable?
6. Who of my brethren or sisters are so blinded as to think that they can withhold the Lord’s tithe, yet have his blessing to rest upon them and their earthly interests?
7. Come, friends, is not this a union effort? And should we not all have sufficient love for God to obey him? and enough love for our ministers to support them? G. W. Colcord.

TO THE BRETHREN IN MAINE.

By J. B. Goodrich

We now have two tents running in this State, and it will take means to support the laborers and pay running expenses. Nearly all in our churches where we have visited the past winter have voted to carry out the tithing principle and give one-tenth of all their income to support the cause. We invite all of our scattered brethren and sisters to adopt the same system, and send in their tithes to the State treasurer, Samuel F. Grant, Hartland, Maine.
“Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase; so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” Prov. 3:9, 10. Let all the Sabbath-keepers in the State take hold and lift together, and the work will move forward; but if some are inclined to murmur and find fault, and do not come up to the work, the Lord will excuse them, and raise up others to take their places. The message must and will go forward, because the work is of God. The commandments of God and faith of Jesus will triumph without me, but I cannot triumph without them. May the Lord help us to realize the sacredness of this work, and never yield to the temptations of Satan. The Lord says, Go forward.
J. B. GOODRICH. Burnham, Me., July 2.
