TEXAS T. AND M. SOCIETY.

By J. C. Cole; E. G. Rust

The general quarterly meeting of the Texas T. and M. society was held April 20 and 21, 1878, at Dallas, with a fair representation of brethren and sisters. As Eld. R. M. Kilgore was present, our Sabbath meetings were deeply interesting and impressive. One man and his wife took their stand fully with us.

After prayer by the director, who occupied the chair, the secretary’s report was read and accepted.

Five united with the Dallas T. and M. Society. Reports were read from the Dallas and Cleburne societies.

Some discussion was had in regard to getting up a nicely framed “Birds-eye View of Prophecy,” with pockets for tracts, to hang in the Union depot at Dallas. Referred to a committee, with instructions to prepare one.

The subject of Sabbath-school work and libraries was freely discussed, and a subscription taken up for a library for the Dallas Sabbath-school.
