IT IS COMING.

By H. A. St. John

It draws very near. I mean the State quarterly meeting of the Ohio T. & M. Society. April 1, 2, is the time. But before it comes I desire to say a few words to the Society.

TO THE MEMBERS.

Do not fail to make out your reports. If you have no blank, appeal to your director for one immediately. Fill out the blank carefully and distinctly, better use pen and ink. Put in a donation, even though it may be small. Get your report into the hands of the director before your district quarterly meeting if you can; if not, have it all ready to hand to him as soon as you come to the meeting. Do not expect him to run around and gather up reports; be anxious to get them into his possession.

TO THE DIRECTORS.

Get a report from every member if you can. Condense, or put them all into one. This you can do on the blank. Use pen and good ink. On the back of your report give the number of actual, living, working members in your district. Leave out none that work in the smallest degree. Write on the back of the report the number of reports received, also the number of reports that contain donations. Have your report all ready, and be diligent to get it into the hands of the State secretary before the first session of the State quarterly meeting. If you bring it to the meeting, pass it into her hands immediately upon your arrival. If you cannot come, send it by mail in season; but come yourself if possible. We hope to see all our directors at the next meeting.

TO THE STATE TREASURER.

Please bring accounts, book, money, &c., all to the State meeting. We want you there.

TO THE STATE SECRETARY.

Of course you will be present, with all needed documents.

Let those that come, pray; let those that do not come, pray, that the meeting may be a profitable and blessed season.

H. A. St. John.
