THE SECRETARY AND

NOTE.-The Journal, and answers to Disciplinary Questions, and adopted resolutions in committee reports, constitute the "Journal" proper. Neither the Publishing Committee, nor the Secretary, personally, is responsible for inaccuracies in documents reported by committees. The remark is not intended to imply, however, that the documents are incorrect.

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CONFERENCE OF 1883.

1. Report statistics and collections as early as possible-on the first day, if possible.

2. Report even dollars and no cents, if possible, to the Conference Treasurer. 3. Write proper names and figures with extreme care.

4. Presiding Elders should report at the next session a complete list of local preachers in their districts. Let the report state whether they are merely licensed, or Deacons or Elders. Give post office address of local preachers.

5. Superannuate and Supernumerary members should send their post office addresses to Secretary immediately.

TO EVERY MEMBER-PERSONAL.

The Secretary, JOHN MCELDOWNEY, Bay City, should receive immediately, by mail, material to complete the Register.

5. When?

6. If not originally admitted into Detroit Conference, from what Conference, or other Church, transferred to Detroit Conference?

8. Examine the Register.

N. B.-I have carefully prepared a special blank designed to embrace such biographical data as are of general interest, which I will send to any member of the Conference upon application. These blanks are not for publication, but will be placed on file for future reference. About one hundred and fifty of the brethren in the two Conferences have already responded. A similar blank for the wives of our preachers will be forwarded to all those who desire, and who will fill and return it. When ordering please enclose stamp. J. M. ARNOLD.
