Lincoln, July 6th, 1850.
The Elders and Messengers met on Saturday at 8 o,clock, A.M. Meeting
opened by prayer, after which Elder Abner Mersereau was appointed
Moderator.
The Messengers and Clerks of the District meetings, read the records
of said meetings, embracing the reports of churches, local business,
and recommendations to General Conference. The reports show an
important increase in some churches, and some new churches have been
received into union. The result of District Meetings on the St. John
River, especially above Fredericton, has been very blessed in several
instances, and we hope for increasing showers of divine favour.
Resolved—That Elders E. Wayman, W.E. Pennington, E. McLeod, and
brethren B.J. Underhill, and E.M. Truesdale, be a Committee to draft
certain additional rules relating to the General Conference and
District Meetings, and submit the same on Monday.
A public Conference being appointed for the afternoon, the business
meeting adjourned by prayer, to meet on Monday, at 8 o’clock, A.M.
MONDAY, 8 o’clock, A.M.
Met pursuant to adjournment. Prayer by Brother Benjamin Noble.
