Note to the Churches of Iowa.
By Geo. I. Butler
As it has been thought best to dispense with our State Conference this spring, I wish to say a word in reference to our financial condition. It has been customary for the delegates to bring quite a portion of the yearly funds to the yearly meeting. As there is no such meeting this spring, we hope each church treasurer in the State will make some effort to collect the S. B. funds for the past Conference year, if they have not yet been paid, and forward them at once to the State treasurer, Bro. R. M. Kilgore, Washington, Iowa. As the tent is expected to start very soon, some funds will be needed at once. In reference to the subscription for the new tent, I would say that nearly all that has not been paid, say from one-half to two-thirds of the entire subscription, was to be paid at the Conference. We hope the officers in each church will make some effort to collect this, and send it at once to Bro. Kilgore, as the Conference Committee will be under the necessity of borrowing funds to pay for the new tent on its delivery. If the brethren will be prompt in reference to these suggestions, they will save us from some embarrassment.
