Tract Meetings in Illinois.
By G. W. Colcord
The first general quarterly meeting of the Illinois Tract & Missionary Society, for present Conference year, will be held Oct. 17. The place has not yet been determined, but will be made known in due time. The directors of districts numbers 1, 3, 5, and 9, will please hold their meetings at least two weeks previous to the general meeting, and see that a report is sent in time to our State secretary, Sr. F. M. T. Simonson, Hillsdale, Rock Island Co., Ill., that she may report to the State meeting. Be faithful in the work of the Lord. Bro. Bliss will meet with the director of Dist. No. 10, in a Tract Society meeting at Lovington, Tuesday, Sept. 21, at 7 P. M. He will also aid in a Tract Society meeting to be held at Martinsville, Sunday, Oct. 3, at 9 A. M. Director of Dist. No. 7 will please announce this appointment. I intend to be present at the following district meetings:— No. 8, New Franklin, Sept. 22, 10 A. M.
“ 6, Woodburn, “ 26, 9 “
“ 4, Aledo, Oct. 3, 9 “
“ 2, in connection with the general quarterly meeting, Oct. 17. We greatly desire that no district should fail to hold its meeting—and that, too, in time. Let it be said in the State meeting that ten districts have reported. And to the end that the district secretary may have something to report to Sr. Simonson, let all members of all districts hand in their personal reports at the district meeting. Which district will fail? Which member will fail? We say: Report! Fill out your blank reports and hand them in. If you have done so much as to give away a REVIEW, report. Small beginnings often result in glorious outcomes; so let us not despise the day of small things, but may we all make a zealous, but wise, start in the new year, to accomplish the work before us. G.
