Ill. T. & M. Society, Dist. No. 3.
By JAS. M. BUTE
This district will hold its next quarterly meeting at Pontiac, Livingston Co., Ill., June 24 and 25. Let each member report promptly, that your librarian may be able to report to the secretary, George A. Hobbs, Sheridan, La Salle Co., Ill., on or before June 20. We hope each member will feel it not only a duty but a privilege to accompany his report with a donation, that our district may be relieved from debt. We have, during the past year, given away a great deal of reading matter, and have done but little toward paying for it. We must remember that these tracts cost money, and it is expected that we will pay for them. Let each one who possibly can, donate one dollar, and those who have more of the Lord's money give more; and we hope our brethren still more favorably circumstanced will feel that five, ten, or fifteen dollars will not be too much to give to this important branch of the work. Some there may be who have nothing to report (though we hope they are few), having been so situated as to have no opportunity for distributing tracts. Such may feel it a privilege to give of their means to pay for those that have been distributed by others. So “he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together.” We hope to have a goodly number of the friends of the cause present at this meeting. We want to see if it will be as it should be, and we shall have a report from each member, each report accompanied with a donation.
