MRS. A. P. VAN HORN, Secretary.

It will be seen by this report as compared with the previous one that there was not as much missionary work done as in the last quarter of 1877.

I suppose however that the workers had so much work of their own to do that the Tract and Missionary work was neglected somewhat. I hope there may be increased activity all through the different districts.

Brethren and sisters of the North Pacific Conference, you must remember that we are yet comparatively few in number. The load seems to go hard, in a financial way at least. But let none be discouraged. You have done well so far, and now arise and take hold of this work in earnest and the load will move. Let every one lift with all the strength they can put forth, and we shall see the precious cause of present truth prospering, and souls for whom Christ died prepared to meet him in peace. Come up, brethren, nobly to the work, and your reward will be sure among the blessed in the kingdom of God.

May 12, 1878.

I. D. VAN HORN, President.
