MARION, Ind., Aug. 21.-At noon to-day there were 111 family tents pitched in the grove where the Adventists of the State of Indiana are holding their annual conference. Over eight hundred people are in attendance. Three regular services are held each day. There are also services in the young peoples' societies and kindergarten department. The Indiana State Sabbath School Association held its first meeting to-day at 9 a. m., presided over by the president of the association, Elder J. W. Covert, of Frankton. The secretary, Mrs. Moore, stated that there were now seventy-nine schools in the State, with a membership of 1,560. Yesterday afternoon Elder Morrison preached on "Love and Obedience to God." About one thousand people listened to Prof. Wakeham last night, when he talked of Jesus Christ, the Same Yesterday, To-day and Forever." Elder E. H. Lane, of Chicago, president of the Illinois State Conference, arrived this morning and to-night talked to fully 1,500 people on the "Surety of God's Word." The Indiana Conference of Seventh-day Adventists was organized at a camp meeting of Advent believers near Peru in September, 1872. Camp meetings have been held annually in this State since that time. These meetings are not money-making affairs, but for spiritual profit only.
