NEW YORK T. AND M. SOCIETY.

The next annual meeting of the New York Tract and Missionary Society will be held at Adams Center, Jeff. Co., N. Y., Nov. 1, 2, 1879. We request a full attendance of all officers of the society and all persons especially interested in the tract and missionary work, as it is proposed to hold immediately following this a Tract Society Institute to continue two weeks.

It is expected that every director and district secretary, and as far as possible every librarian, will attend this Institute. Full particulars in regard to board for those who may attend, reduction of fare on railroads, etc., will be given next week.

We have deferred the time of our annual meeting to accommodate those who wished to attend the Institute, and who could do so at this date better than if it were held earlier.

Let all the officers of the society at once make their preparations for attending this meeting, and come prepared to stay till the close of the Institute.

B. L. Whitney, Pres.

The annual meeting of the New York Sabbath-school Association will be held in connection with the annual meeting of the T. and M. Society, at Adams Center, Nov. 1, 2, 1879. As this will be an important meeting, every Sabbath-school in the State should send as delegates to the Association such persons as will take a lively interest in the Sabbath-school work, and will attend the Institute which comes in connection with the yearly meeting. Matters which will have a great bearing on the future prosperity of the Sabbath-schools are to be considered.

The Sabbath-school work will be given its proper proportion of time in the Institute, and every effort will be made to make the most of such time, so that the Institute will mark a new era in this branch of the work in our State. The best methods of imparting instruction will be discussed, and the practical workings of the Sabbath-school will receive due attention.

The lessons in the Sabbath-school at the State meeting will be the lessons for the first Sabbath in November, found in the Instructor and the Lesson Sheets for Bible Classes. M. H. Brown.

No providence preventing, I will meet with the friends at Pine Grove and Kendall, Mich., Sabbath and first-day, Oct. 18, 19. We wish to see every Sabbath-keeper at these places at this time. They will please arrange among themselves for a place of meeting. E. R. Jones.

No providence preventing, we will meet with the brethren at Grimes school-house, at Port Allegheny, Mc Kean Co., Pa., Oct. 18, 19. We earnestly request all the brethren in the district to attend this meeting, as it will be the only one we can hold with them this fall. Let all the librarians and S. S. secretaries bring their books, as special pains will be taken to have them corrected and balanced. D. B. Oviatt.

If the Lord will, I will meet with the church in Parkville, Mich., Oct. 25. Will brethren in Colon, Three Rivers, and Brady meet with us? J. Byington.

No providence preventing, there will be a two-days’ meeting at Burnham, Maine, commencing Oct. 24, at 7 P. M. J. B. Goodrich.

No providence preventing, I will meet with the church at Osceola, Clark Co., Iowa, Oct. 18, 1879. C. A. Washburn.
