Invited to a Four-Day September Convocation in Wisconsin

The church leaders in Wisconsin called for a convocation in September of several days’ duration, which they invited James and Ellen White to attend (The Review and Herald, August 13, 1867). The Whites responded in the affirmative and planned a stop at Battle Creek en route. They would travel by carriage to Battle Creek and then go to Wisconsin by train. They dreaded what they saw before them in Battle Creek in dealing with the situation of the Health Institute; they knew they were already under considerable criticism there, although they did not know just why. 2BIO 194.3
