The Province was divided into two districts. District No. 1 comprises the counties of Shefford and Brome; and district No. 2 comprises the counties of Stanstead and Compton.

J. H. Hammond was appointed director, and B. E. Hammond, secretary, of district No. 1; Mrs. H. Blake was chosen librarian for the Bolton and Stukely church, and Mrs. E. Cross, librarian for the friends in Sutton.
