Resolutions reported as follows:—
Wishing to express our gratitude to God, in that he has blessed the inefficient efforts that have already been put forth by the T. & M. department, in bringing many souls to see the present truth, and to acknowledge the supremacy of his law, and,
Whereas, His word plainly teaches that this truth must extend to all nations of earth; and
Whereas, The harvest is great and the laborers are few,
Therefore, We, the members of the Minn. T. & M. Society, unanimously concur in the exertions of this department, to warn the world of its impending judgments, and that we will give our united efforts to make this a successful means thereto.
Resolved, That we deplore the seeming negligence in regard to reporting labor performed, and that we will try to be more prompt therein in the future. H. GRANT, Pres.
A. H. VANKIRK, Sec.
