BE EXPLICIT.

By G. W. Colcord

1. WHEN you report to the secretary of the Conference, do not say simply how much money you have remitted to the State Conference treasurer, but state when you remitted. If you have sent money away at different times through the quarter, give date of each remittance as well as amount.

2. If you wish a passage to the Bloomington camp-meeting in one of our chartered coaches, say so definitely; and not say, “You may expect about twenty from our church”! Give your name, and say you will go, or you will pay if you do not go. If this is not done soon, you may lose the chance of getting reduced rates. Names are coming in rapidly, at present; and soon, I judge, the “quota” will be filled. Write to Du Quoin.
