Sjehom, director, called the meeting to order. Prayer by J. P. Gelotte. Eld. James Sawyer was chosen secretary pro tem. After remarks by Brn. Sawyer, Gelotte, Sjehom, and others, concerning the object and plan of this society, Bro. John Olson was chosen secretary, and John P. Gelotte librarian. The society adopted the “one-third,” as a means to sustain the T. and M. work. It was resolved to take ten numbers of the SVENSK ADVENT-HEROLD, and pay for them quarterly. Ten enrolled their names as members. It was resolved to make special efforts to send the HEROLD to old Sweden, and to visit from house to house in New Sweden. Adjourned till the arrival of the HEROLD.
