VIGILANT MISSIONARY WORK IN BATTLE CREEK.
By Uriah Smith
WE have adopted the plan of having each member of the V. M. Society who has accomplished any work during the week, hand in a synopsis of it to the secretary at the opening of each weekly meeting, so that we are able to look back over the week, and see the amount of work that has been done. The plan can hardly be said yet to be in operation, and the reports are consequently not full; yet at our last meeting, reports for the week ending July 11, made the following encouraging exhibit:— Periodicals sent away, 245. Periodicals distributed in B. C., 279. Pages of tracts distributed, 1,465. Letters written, 127. Families visited, 59. Subscribers, for INSTRUCTOR, 1. When we consider the results which are known to have followed in some cases the giving of a tract, or the sending out of a single periodical, there is no computing the good that may in a brief course of time grow from one such week's work as above reported.
