DIRECTOR'S MEETING.

At a meeting of the directors, it was decided for the working year to commence with September in each district alike, thus making the quarters commence and end at the same time in all the districts.
It was also decided that the President or Vice-president should, so far as possible, meet with each district in the State once each quarter, and they would recommend that the quarterly meeting for the churches in each district be held in connection with the Tract Society Meeting.
That the President might attend the quarterly meetings according to numbering of the districts without extra traveling, it was decided to change the numbering of districts four and five.
The district including Potterville, Charlotte, Oneida, and Jackson, will be hereafter known as District No. 4, while Parkville, Colon, Burlington, Battle Creek, Newton, and Convis, will be known as District No. 5.
E. H. ROOT, President.
J. E. WHITE, Secretary.
