MICHIGAN T. AND M. SOCIETY.

By J. Fargo; Mrs. S. H. Lane

The State quarterly meeting of this society was held at Barker Creek, Dec. 29, 1878.
Report of last meeting, held April 21, called for and read.
On account of the meeting being held earlier than usual, the report of labor is very incomplete, the secretary of nearly every district from which a report was received stating that he was not prepared to make a full report. The following is obtained from the reports of twelve districts:—
No. of families visited, ................................ 664 Letters written, ........................................ 1,148 Pages tracts and pamphlets distributed, ..... 132,173 Periodicals distributed, ............................... 9,827 Annuals distributed, .................................. 2,371 New subscribers obtained, .............................. 73

CASH RECEIVED.

For membership, .................................... $ 9 65 Donations, .............................................. 102 93 Sales, .................................................. 142 12 Periodicals, ........................................... 136 57
Total, ................................................ $391 27
As several ministers were present who had recently visited different districts in the State, having in view the interests of the society, verbal reports were made, which showed, in most cases, a good degree of interest by the members in different places.
The importance of having a reserve fund was spoken of at some length by Eld. Haskell and other ministers, all agreeing that such a fund is highly essential for the prosperity of a tract society.
Adjourned to call of Chair.
J. FARGO, Pres.
