To the churches in the Vermont Conference.
By D. T. Bourdeau
I AM requested by the Executive Committee to remind the churches of this Conference of the importance of their being prompt in seeing that their dues on S. B. up to October 1, 1870, are paid to the Conference Treasurer, W. J. Cross, Bordoville, Vt. The arrearages should be squared up. Our Conference being small, with heavy expenses, any backwardness here will be sensibly felt. This will also apply to the future. Let the churches be punctual in meeting their pledges for the coming year, and the Treasurers in forwarding the means to the Conference Treasurer and in making their reports to the Conference Secretary, at the close of each quarter, viz., January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1, that order may be carried out. It will be borne in mind that this year, by virtue of an action of our late Conference, the means are to be paid to the Conference Treasurer and appropriated from the treasury by order of the committee, instead of being paid to preachers or to the Treasurer. It is also the duty of the preachers laboring with the churches to help them on these points. D. T. BOURDEAU, Conference Secretary. Bordoville, Vt., Sept. 9, 1870.
