THE WISCONSIN CONFERENCE TREASURER'S REPORT.
By WM. KERN
Under the heading, “Conference Statistics,” in Review of June 13, some remarks were made that would seem to call for an explanation on my part. At the time when my report for last year was made, a number of orders on the treasury had not been presented. These orders, amounting in the aggregate to $374.57, I paid, leaving the Conference in debt to me $17.52. This $374.57 should have been reported this year as paid out on last year's orders, but by an oversight it was not reported at all. This year's report was called for before any of our ministers had presented their orders for the past year's balances due them; so that after paying all claims on the treasury, it will perhaps be in no better condition than it was last summer, when we were so short of means to pay our tent companies. We hope all our brothers and sisters in this Conference will see the importance of paying their S. B. pledges promptly at our next quarterly meetings in July, so that our ministers in the field may be properly sustained.
