LOVINGTON, ILL.

By J. Mallernee; Belle Mallernee

The next T. & M. quarterly meeting of Dist. No. 10 will be held at Lovington, Moultrie Co., Ill., Dec. 31, 1876. Bring in your report, or send it so that we will get it before the meeting. Cannot each member send in the name of some one worthy to become a member, accompanied with $1.00 for membership?
This district has disposed of quite a number of tracts the past year; but the receipts from the sale of tracts will not exceed $2.00; and we are expecting another large bill every day, which we must pay for soon. Now let us all work as we never worked before to scatter tracts and get the present truth before the people. If we cannot sell tracts, give them away, and keep up the library by donation. Let each report be accompanied with a small donation, whatever each one feels able to pay each quarter. If it is only 25cts. per quarter, it will keep up the library. If the Lord is good enough to bless us with the means, let us use a part of it for the advancement of his cause. It will be nothing more than giving God his just dues.
Dear brethren and sisters, we, as a people, expect the soon coming of the Son of man in the clouds of heaven; then what good will our earthly treasures do us? They will not buy us an admittance into the city, the New Jerusalem, neither will they procure for us the crown of glory. So let us lay up treasures in Heaven by doing the will of God, and laboring physically, mentally, and financially, to save those of our friends and neighbors around us, who are dying for the truth of God’s word. May God help us all to discharge our duty as good and faithful members of the T. and M. Society, is our prayer.
J. MALLERNEE, Director, BELLE MALLERNEE, Sec.
