Notice for District No. 1, Cal. T. and M. Society.

YOUR attention is called to the changes recently made by the State Society, in the boundaries of District No. 1, by which it is now made to include the counties of Sonoma, Marin, Napa, Mendocino, Lake, Humboldt, Trinity, and Del Norte. Having been chosen director of said district, I have appointed Miss Alice Morrison, of Healdsburg, Sonoma County, district secretary, to whom all orders for periodicals and publications, also librarians' reports should be addressed. It will be a great favor to us if this suggestion is strictly carried out. No librarian or individual within the limits of the district, should order from, or report to, the State secretary or Pacific Press, as, under the present system of keeping the various sets of books, this causes much confusion. The district depository is located at Healdsburg, and we shall keep constantly on hand a full supply of our publications.

Let the orders come in from all our churches, companies, and isolated individual workers. Gems of truth lying idle on our shelves are powerless for good. Those who are really devoted to the cause and work of God will not permit them thus to remain. Dear brethren and sisters, those of us who have enjoyed the blessings of our late camp-meeting, let us not forget the exhortations to greater zeal and faithfulness which we there heard; but let us read the resolutions passed at that meeting, carefully and prayerfully, and begin at once to carry them into practical effect. Do not delay one day, but commence now to do more for the dissemination of our glorious present truth. In what way can we better manifest our gratitude to God for his mercies and blessings to us?

We shall endeavor to supply all our workers with names and addresses, to which to mail our periodicals and publications, and with which to correspond with reference to the truth. Yet our efforts should not be confined to this alone, but we should labor judiciously to set the truth before our neighbors, relatives, and friends. Shall we not all redouble our diligence in the Master's work, that we may enjoy the fruit of our labors in the kingdom of God?
