This report is considerably less than that of the previous quarter in almost every respect, but is an increase over that of December 31. The report of March 31 was unusually large, there being almost forty per cent. more letters written and pages and periodicals distributed than has been reported before at any one quarter. The decrease this quarter is quite marked in certain districts. The Healdsburg society, of Dist. No. 1, is composed largely of students. These have nearly all dispersed for the College vacation, and their Signs' club of 400 copies has been reduced to 150 copies during this time. In other districts several of those who last quarter devoted the greater part of their time to the missionary work, are now engaged in preaching the truth. When we take these things into consideration, together with the fact that this is the busiest season of the year, we are not so much surprised at the apparent falling off in the work. Of the 935 members in this State only about forty per cent. are represented in this report, which does not, therefore, show the full amount of work done. Unless each feels a responsibility in the matter, the reports as they appear from quarter to quarter, representing as they do such a small part of the membership, will not only fail to accomplish their design in showing the prosperity of the work in this State, but will tend to discouragement. Let us not only report what we do, but let us redouble our diligence, resolving that each successive quarter shall witness the advancement of the missionary cause in this State. And let us remember that each has a part to do in this work, and that upon the faithful ones only shall the Master of the vineyard pronounce the "Well done." ANNA L. INGELS, Sec.
