Quarterly Meetings.

THE time for quarterly meetings is drawing near. We are more than ever impressed with the importance of these meetings; or, to say the least, they may be made of great importance.

CHURCH QUARTERLY MEETINGS.

First in order, and I might almost say in importance too, is the church quarterly meeting. Hold this meeting by all means, and at the usual place of assembly. Let all make special effort to attend these meetings. If any cannot attend, whether they live near by or at a distance, let them, by all means, report themselves at this meeting in writing. Yes, write, brother, sister; send your written testimony to the church in good season for this meeting. The church should and must hear from you. Your brethren greatly desire to hear from you. Address your letter to the clerk of the church. When this meeting is past, let each church clerk report the same to the president of his Conference.

DISTRICT QUARTERLY MEETINGS.

The time for these meetings is fixed, and should be well understood. In the past I have appointed these district quarterly meetings for Ohio myself. I now leave this matter of appointing the place of district quarterly meetings with the director of each district. Come, brother director, now send in your appointment at once.

All the churches in a district should be well represented at this meeting; at least they should send their librarian as delegate. T. and M. directors will preside over this meeting. They should make diligent effort to make it a complete success.
