$1098 91 Those owing the society should come to our annual meeting at Neosho Falls, May 22–27, prepared to pay the debt. The publishing houses need their money: it is a just debt and should be paid. Then we need more books, and must have them, or the T. and M. cause will suffer. Where are the men who will come to our annual meeting, and make a covenant with the Lord by sacrifice? The Lord blessed us with bountiful crops the past year. Let us act as though we appreciated the blessing. J. N. AYERS.
