Tract and Missionary Work in Iowa.
By GEO. L. BUTLER
THE brethren in this State will notice the appointments in this week's REVIEW of Eld. S. N. Haskell's, to organize more fully the Tract and Missionary work. In these appointments, I feel the deepest interest. Of late, I have become fully satisfied of the immense importance of this Tract and Missionary work, to the progress of the cause. It is to be the right arm of our strength, financially, and therefore should be organized immediately. Our brethren in Iowa have hardly known how to carry out the system, as it is carried out in New England, and as it is being carried out in New York and other Eastern Conferences. Bro. Nicola, the President of the Society, in a recent report calls for the help of Bro. Haskell. I think the right time has come. I feel a deep interest that Bro. H. should benefit the cause there as much as possible. He will be prepared to give just the instruction necessary to put the Tract Society into active operation. I have used my influence to have these appointments made, and I shall be greatly disappointed, if my brethren in Iowa do not turn out and give him a hearty reception, and take hold of this matter with great interest. Especially, should all our leading brethren be present at these meetings, unless it is absolutely impossible. Now is the golden opportunity for the Tract and Missionary work in that State. If the friends of the cause neglect it, they will suffer a great loss. This is not an experiment. It has been tried in other States, under more discouraging circumstances than those which exist in Iowa. Rally to these meetings, brethren, and take hold of the work right. GEO. L. BUTLER.
