QUARTERLY MEETING OF N. Y. & PA. T. & M. SOCIETY.

By B. L. WHITNEY; E. H. WHITNEY

This meeting was held at Ulysses, Potter Co., Pa., March 25 and 26.

Owing to the circumstances, and the fact that the district in which the meeting was held is not centrally located, the attendance of directors was small, but all the districts furnished reports, and the attendance of the brethren in the locality was good. The following is the report of labor for the quarter:—

Whole number of members reporting, 156; No. of families visited, 811; No. of letters written, 275; No. of new subscribers for REVIEW, 18; INSTRUCTOR, 122; REFORMER, 176; distribution of periodicals, 2620; pages of pamphlets and tracts distributed, 305,025; No. of copies of SIGNS subscribed for during the quarter, 540.

Rec'd on membership, $4.00 “ by donations, 157.36 “ on book sales, 89.82 “ “ widow and orphan fund, 10.00 “ “ periodicals, 274.80 Total, $535.98

Quite a number of those to whom the VOICE was sent last year were reported as having subscribed for the REVIEW or the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, and several were reported as having embraced the truth from reading the VOICE.

A good degree of courage is manifested on the part of the members of the Society, and special efforts will be made during the coming quarter to increase the circulation of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES and REFORMER.
