No State quarterly meeting was held at the close of this quarter, as the missionary officers and workers are so scattered it would be impossible for them to attend.

This report is more complete than that of any previous quarter, in that the societies throughout the State are more generally represented, and in the increased amount of work done. In the following respects the excess over the last report is most marked: No. of members, 52; reports returned, 44; visits made, 559; letters written, 1,203; and pages distributed, 16,531. The faithfulness in reporting shows an increasing interest in the work.

The sum of $965.15 was paid in to the State society during the quarter. Some of the districts are still quite deeply in debt. This is due, in some instances, to the large amount of publications on hand, and in others to the recent renewal of subscription for SIGNS club. We trust the librarians appreciate the advantage of a healthy financial condition, and will spare no effort to relieve the debt of their respective societies.

May God grant that each succeeding quarter find us far in advance of the preceding one, striving with untiring zeal to promote the interests of the truth and upbuild the cause of Christ. ANNA L. INGELS.
