Systematic Benevolence.
By Editor
We were pleased at our last yearly conference to see the promptness manifested in paying s. B. pledges. The account, in about every instance, standing square on the s. B. books. We hope to see the accounts all square again this year. Shall we be disappointed in this? Now is the easiest season of the year to obtain means, and it seems especially appropriate, in coming to our yearly feast, to come up paying our vows to God. See Mal. 3:10. It is a part of the work of our missionary directors, in the respective districts, "to see that each comes up on Systematic Benevolence." We suggest that they interest themselves to see that each and every member of our different churches has an opportunity to pledge on s. B., and that all s. B. accounts are paid over by the time of our next district quarterly meeting, in season for the means to be brought to the State conference treasurer at the time of conference. At the time of our State conference a committee of six laymen will be chosen, to act, with the Executive Committee of three, in auditing and settling with ministers in the direct employ of the conference. Let all dues to the conference in the shape of s. B. pledges be paid, that this committee may be enabled to do their work, and the conference devise liberal things relative to the future.
