To the Churches in Minnesota.
By H. F. Phelps
Our camp-meeting is now appointed for June 26—30. But before that time, we need to hear from every church in the State, in order to have our report ready. Some have failed in their quarterly reports. Shall we not hear from them? Your fourth quarterly report needs to be sent in immediately. Will you send it? Besides this, there is the report of the financial condition of your church. The clerk should make this out immediately. This report should tell us your standing as to whole number of members, number paying s. B., amount of s. B. pledged for the year, amount pledged to the State Conference. Next, the elder, deacon, and clerk, should make out a report of your standing, as to additions by letter and by baptism; losses by death, by apostasy, and by removal; number of members at the commencement of the year, and the present number; and number of Sabbath-school scholars. We believe you all have blanks; if so, it will be an easy job for you to fill them out; if not, do the best you can, and send in these reports immediately, to my address. Those laboring with us desire to see us coming up in better working order, and shall we not take hold with them? I pledge myself to do all I possibly can. H. F. PHELPS, Sec.
