To the Elder or Missionary Leader

By A. J. S. B.

(Not to be read publicly)

Monthly Report

The church missionary secretary should faithfully report the work of the church to the conference tract society secretary, who will gladly supply blanks for that purpose. The statistics gathered from the slips passed to the church-members, November 26, should also accompany this report.

How to Buy Tracts

The most economical way to secure tracts for envelope distribution is to buy them from your tract society in large packages, selling for 50 cents, $1, and $5. A liberal discount from the retail price is allowed on these packages. They are also accompanied by a sufficient number of large printed envelopes for use in house-to-house package work. Let the members work the territory thoroughly as far as they go.

The "Review" in Every Home

The best foundation that can be laid for a working missionary society is to secure each family's subscription for the REVIEW. As a rule, the REVIEW readers constitute the working force of the missionary society. They are intelligent in regard to the plans of the denomination, and in sympathy with every forward movement. Help to place your church upon the Roll of Honor containing the names of all the churches in your conference in which every family takes the REVIEW.

Church Library

Plans should be laid for the purchase of a library of our standard books, to be loaned to the members, and by them to those not of our faith. A good assortment of tracts should also be on hand. Your town library should be presented with some of our large books, such as “Great Controversy,” “Daniel and the Revelation,” “Bible Readings,” etc., also with our leading magazines regularly. The fourth Sabbath donation will assist in providing for this library.
