Note to the S. B. Treasurers in Iowa.
By George I. Butler
OUR Conference Secretary, Bro. A. A. Fairfield, of the Mt. Pleasant church, has told me from time to time that some of our church treasurers do not report to him as the constitution requires. Of course, there is no use in having a system of order unless we follow it. Sec. 4 says, “The churches will be expected to make a report to the Secretary, at the end of each quarter, of the amount they have sent to the Treasurer, or paid to preachers during such quarter.” Some have sent their reports to the Treasurer. This is wrong, of course. Make your report regularly, whether you have sent off any money to the Treasurer or not. It is necessary to have these accounts in order to settle at the close of the year. The last quarter closed Dec. 10. The duty of making the report for the church falls upon the church treasurer. The duty is an easy one. Brethren, let us all be punctual. GEO. I. BUTLER, Pres. of Iowa Conf.
