GET READY FOR THE QUARTERLY MEETINGS.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

Brethren and sisters throughout the general field should remember that the church quarterly meetings will soon be here, namely, the first Sabbath and Sunday in April. At this time it is expected that each individual will pay up his tithes for the past quarter. Pledges have been made on the Dime Tabernacle, Oakland church, and for other enterprises in different States. It is very important that these pledges, as far as possible, should be paid at that time. The Dime Tabernacle is completed, but the brethren have failed to come up in raising funds to pay for it. We look with great hope to this quarterly meeting for help in this direction. Pledges made for the Oakland church, and others that should be made, are needed. Also, before another quarterly meeting will come around, all the tents will be in the field.

We know very well that every Conference will need its funds to purchase or start tents, and so we say to our brethren and sisters, Make your calculations, hold your money; do not let it slip out of your hands for other things, but come up to the quarterly meeting prepared to do something in the matter. If you have begun long ago, keep on; if you have not, begin without delay. D. M. CANRIGHT.
