Quarterly Report of T. and M. Society.

The third quarterly meeting of the Texas T. and M. Society was held at Dallas, Jan. 7, 1877. Called to order at 10 A. M., by the director. Opened by singing and prayer. The report of the last quarter was read and accepted. Remarks were made by different ones on the subject of the best mode of distributing our periodicals and the necessity of engaging energetically in the work. Many interesting incidents were given, showing the eagerness with which many receive and read our periodicals, and the reluctance and distrust in others. There seemed a readiness and willingness on the part of all present to engage heartily in the work.
