C. T. CAVANESS, Auditor.
Our business during the last year amounted to much more than that of the preceding year, yet much of our work was without profit, considerable missionary work having been done. It will be noticed that our net loss for the year was practically the amount of the old accounts, which were charged to the “loss and gain” accounts.
Elder Westphal gave a brief statement showing the large amount of missionary work that has been done by the society during the year. We bought one hundred and forty dollars’ worth of Brother Haughey’s tract, “Christ’s Second Coming.” These were given to our canvassers and others for gratuitous distribution. The Independence number of the Signs of the Times was sent to all the editors in our State, which cost about twenty-eight dollars. Tracts were furnished for free distribution at the Wichita and other camp-meetings, as well as a large number of the Signs advertising the camp-meetings.
The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Elder J. W. Westphal; Vice-President, Elder H. F. Ketring; Secretary and Treasurer, R. M. Rockey; State Agent, W. F. Surber. R. M. ROCKEY, Sec.
