Coates; No. 11, Samuel Thurston.
The report was accepted and the officers elected.
The report of labor for the year is encouraging, showing no diminution of effort on the part of the working members of the Society, but rather an increase.
While old members have been lost by death or removal, new ones are coming in to fill their places. Among them are some who were first interested in present truth by tracts circulated by the Society.
It is to be regretted, however, that so large a proportion of the members failed to report, less than one-third of the membership fulfilling their duty in this respect.
