MICHIGAN T. AND M. SOCIETY.
By Mrs. S. H. Lane
For various reasons, no State quarterly meeting was held at the close of the present quarter, July 21, 1878. But reports from eight districts have been received, the other five having failed to meet in season their obligation in this respect. The following is a summary of the reports received:— No. of families visited, 447
“ “ letters written, 1,420
“ “ new members, 35
“ “ new subscribers on trial, 873
“ “ new subscribers obtained with premium, 128
“ “ periodicals distributed, 10,762
“ “ Annuals “ 584
No. of pages of tracts and pamphlets distributed, 171,195
Rec’d for membership, $35.00
“ by donations, 291.40
“ from book sales, 43.82
“ “ new subscribers, 56.35
“ for W. and O. fund, 3.25
Total, $429.82 Letters received from different officers of the society during the past few weeks show a spirit of determination and anxiety to have all indebtedness of the society paid by the time of the general camp-meeting. This is desirable for the welfare of both the society and the officers of publication. In reports for the next quarter, the district secretaries will please not forget to state the value of books on hand in the districts.
