QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

By S. N. Haskell

“Has the plan of paying to the tract society a sum equal to one-third the systematic benevolence been given up?” No. Wherever this plan has been adopted, it has proved a perfect success; where it has not been adopted, the tract society fund is more or less deficient.
“Does the S. B. treasurer retain the ‘one-third’?” No; he only collects it, as it is convenient for him to do so when he collects the systematic benevolence. The one-third is tract society money, and should always go to the librarian. It is always distinct and separate from the systematic benevolence money, and has no more to do with it than camp-meeting money, or money on any other enterprise.
“Can we draw publications on the strength of what we pay into the reserve fund?” We should not; for that is not given to be used up in this manner, but to keep a supply of publications in the State depository. S. N. HASKELL.
