To the Minnesota Sabbath-School Workers.

By W. B. Hill; Anna Fulton; T. J. Cross

At our last camp-meeting, steps were taken to advance the Sabbath-school interest in our Conference. A State Sabbath-school Association was organized, and officers were elected. The committee of the S. S. Association have arranged to have a general meeting of the Sabbath-school workers in each T. and M. district in the Conference after the tent season is over. But time is short, and the good work should begin immediately.
The committee have chosen Sabbath-school agents in the several T. and M. districts throughout the Conference. Their duty will be to visit the churches in their districts and organize Sabbath-schools where none exist, and to set in order and encourage those already in operation. Where there are only two or three families, they should be encouraged to meet together on the Sabbath, to study the Scriptures and teach them to their children. We have, through the mail, notified these agents of their appointment, but fearing that some may not receive the notice we give their names and residences through the REVIEW, as follows:—
T. J. Cross, Shelbyville, Minn. F. W. Morse, Estherville, Iowa. A. H. Van Kirk, Concord, Minn. I. Z. Lamb, Pleasant Grove, “ Elizabeth Whitelock, Hutchinson, “ John Valentine, Wadena, “ Fred Lashure, West Union, “ Samuel Fulton, Beldenville, Wis. William Little, Agency, Minn. John Norstrum, Stark, “
The agents will find valuable information in regard to Sabbath-school work in back numbers of the REVIEW. If any do not have them, no doubt they can get them by sending to the Office. We hope they will begin their work of looking after and helping the Sabbath-schools without delay, and report to L. Curtis, Hutchinson, McLeod Co., Minn., as he is secretary of the Association. We hope also that ministers and all interested in Sabbath-school work will bear a helping hand. Dear brethren, let us move in this matter all along the line. Let us all pull and pull all together, and with the Lord’s blessing the work must go forward.
Due notice of the general meetings will be given in the REVIEW.
