FLORIDA TRACT SOCIETY PROCEEDINGS.

By L. H. Crisler; Josephine Grannis

THE sixth annual session of the Florida Tract Society was held in connection with the Conference and camp-meeting at Lakeland, Nov. 3-12, 1899, Elder L. H. Crisler presiding. We greatly appreciated the presence and counsel of Elder Allee.

The financial condition of the society was carefully considered, and plans were suggested and discussed whereby the work might be placed upon a cash basis, which would be much more satisfactory than the present credit system. This means a change of policy concerning the canvassing work; and several resolutions were adopted regulating this, that the relation of the society and the canvassers may be satisfactory. Different branches of missionary work were discussed, and the brethren were encouraged to take up the work committed to them, and to labor earnestly and faithfully. “Every one to the work, each one to do his best.” It was voted to reorganize the correspondence class, in order that the blessings that attended this work in its beginning in 1873 may be enjoyed in our Conference. Each week these volunteer laborers will mail the Signs of the Times to interested readers, with whom they will maintain correspondence. The Berean Reading Circle work was discussed and approved. The necessity of placing the REVIEW in the hands of all our people was again brought before the representatives of the societies, and we hope to see this accomplished the coming year. The blessedness of giving to the Lord and his work, as well as the privileges of service, was emphasized.

The officers elected were as follows: President, Irving Keck; Secretary and Treasurer, Josephine Grannis.
