To Members of District No. 11, Kansas Tract Society
By A. W. Cone
TO MEMBERS OF DIST. NO. 11, KANSAS TRACT SOCIETY.
Dear Brethren, you all believe that we are living in the last days, and that God has a special message to be proclaimed at this time. As it is a special, important, and decisive message, God is calling out a special people to proclaim it. We claim to be the people that he has entrusted with this message which is to decide the destiny of the world. To facilitate the spreading of the message, we have an organized Tract Society, which is to hold regular quarterly meetings each quarter. Now, what is the object of these meetings? Is it not to encourage and help one another in the great work? Are your duties all done when you have given away a few pages of tracts, and have handed a report to your librarian? You expect your director to be present at each meeting. Is your time more precious than his? If you have confidence in your officers, encourage them by your presence, counsel, and words of good cheer. Remember that they are mortals, and subject to discouragement. Then, too, if you fail to do the Lord’s work, the work will go on, but you will be left. If you are thus left, can you expect to hear the “Well done, good and faithful servant”? Finally, brethren, do not let another quarterly meeting pass without being present, to stimulate others with your zeal. Remember your influence is felt beyond your little home circle—the district. The cause is one. The field is the world. Others have a right to expect us to work, shall they be disappointed? Brethren, shall I see you all at our next meeting at Centerville?
