TO MEMBERS OF MO. T. & M. SOCIETY.
By Wm. EVANS
It is the intention to have quarterly meetings in all the districts of this Conference, and also a general quarterly meeting, on or near the close of this financial quarter, Oct. 1. Reports will be looked for from every member and district. Now, brethren, before you can have anything to report you must do something. And you must not only do something, but you must keep an account of what you do. Each one should have a small blank book kept expressly for that purpose. If you have none, procure one at once. If you have no pamphlets or tracts, get a supply of your church librarian, or the director of your district. Our Society owes the Publishing Association about fifty dollars. Let us make an effort this quarter to pay that up, and raise a good, liberal sum besides with which to buy more tracts. To that end, let every one hand in a donation with his report, either small or large, as he has been prospered. For the encouragement of such as think the tract work does not amount to much, also to encourage the circulation of health publications, I give a brief extract from a letter to our district secretary from a sister in Andrew Co. She says, “Before we read the HEALTH REFORMER, we were the most sorely afflicted family in the neighborhood, but now we are the healthiest. I feel that the reform is God's work, and that we cannot neglect it but at our own peril.” And she adds, “Encourage the circulation of tracts; for by this means we were brought to the truth.” The above is certainly encouraging. Brethren, let us go to work. Wm. EVANS. Hamilton, Caldwell Co., Mo., July 14, 1876.
