A motion to equalize the debit and credit accounts of the districts with the society, was carried unanimously, which resulted in making each district indebted to the society in the sum of $26.40.
Much interest was manifested in the discussion of health reform and tract and missionary work, and the necessity of thorough work in these directions was clearly shown.
The spirit of brotherly kindness was manifested throughout the meeting, and all went away greatly refreshed. And the meeting was not without its good effects on the community in whose midst it was held.
The first Sabbath and Sunday in March, 1876, and Sigourney, Iowa, were the time and place designated for the next quarterly meeting.
On motion, the Chair appointed a committee to select persons who should be requested to prepare essays on appropriate subjects to be read at the quarterly meetings.
On motion, the meeting adjourned sine die.
