The Summary

By E. R. P.

It looks good, doesn't it? even though it does contain a few blanks, reversals, and disappointments. The report is complete, however, from seven union conferences, and from all the foreign fields. Nearly all the blank spaces represent snow-bound territory. We confidently expect, however, that next winter the enthusiasm of our boys and girls will either melt the snowy obstructions in the far North, or their perseverance will climb over them.

The Southwestern Union Conference stands well in the lead, with a total of nearly six times what it was last year. Isn't that good for the month of March? Elder W. W. Eastman held his institutes early, and was doing good field work last month; and now he is looking forward to a strong re-enforcement from Keene Academy.

There are other substantial gains also, as indicated in the summary.

Do not overlook the little comparative summary at the close. It gets more and more interesting, doesn't it? How beautiful it would appear in print if we could give a summary of the heart-to-heart experiences of our agents with the people, as they go about doing good!
