Quarterly Reports.

THESE are continually falling due from the ministers of the several Conferences, and from the officers of the various churches. Will these brethren look after this matter, and see if they have been prompt in the fulfilment of this duty? Our State Conferences will, no doubt, be convened in connection with our proposed camp-meetings. They will, therefore, very soon begin to be held. How many of those who have accepted responsibilities in the business of their Conference, will be found faithful when the Conference shall assemble? One very important matter, is that of quarterly reports. These should be made by the ministers and by the church clerks or treasurers to the Conference secretary. If he has all your reports, it will be an easy thing to transact the financial business of the Conference. Those who are on the background can at least partially redeem the past by now making out their reports. Brethren, will you not attend to this thing at once? You can save many hours of valuable time in the Conference if you will discharge this simple duty. You have been honored with a place in the Lord's work. Will you not show at least one excellent qualification for the place, viz., promptness?
