QUARTERLY MEETINGS IN DAKOTA.
By S. B. Whitney
I heartily indorse what has been said about holding church quarterly meetings at the regular time, and would not under ordinary circumstances recommend any deviation from this rule; but under our circumstances I have taken the liberty to appoint some of these meetings out of the regular time, in order that I may attend them, as seems necessary on account of the inexperience of the churches. The church at Swan Lake will, of course, hold their meeting at the regular time. I hope these meetings may be of special interest. Let the scattered members of our churches attend them as far as possible, and let us hear from those who are not able to attend. I earnestly request all to be prompt with their reports, that we may be ready for the general quarterly meeting, which will be held at Swan Lake at the regular time,—the third Sabbath and first-day in April. As we have at present but one district, there will be no occasion for a separate district meeting this quarter. Now let me say again to all the members and officers of our churches and tract societies, Be punctual and faithful in attending to your individual duties, and then our work will all be “well done.” We all want to hear these welcome words when the Master comes. Shall it be so? S. B. WHITNEY.
