MINNESOTA T. AND M. SOCIETY.
By A. H. Van Kirk
The report of labor for this society for the quarter ending March 31, 1878, is as follows:— No. of families visited, 212; letters written, 164. No. of periodicals sent on trial, 114; subscribers obtained with premium, 130. No. of periodicals distributed, 1,967; Annuals distributed, 334; tracts and pamphlets distributed, pages, 70,672. Money received for memberships, $10.50 From new subscribers, $108.65 Paid into treasury, 274.10 As districts 2, 5, 6, and 9 have sent in no report of labor, although solicited per letter to do so, the report for this quarter is necessarily smaller than it would be if all had reported. The reports that I have received are not perfect, especially in regard to money. For instance: The summary of reports shows receipts to be $244.80, disbursements to be $274.10, showing a discrepancy of $29.30.
