California Tract Society.

THE church quarterly meetings are now past, but we wish to speak of the duties of the officers in view of the meetings yet to come. We have sent to each librarian a blank report to fill out immediately and send to the district secretary. Please look carefully to your report, and fill it out where any labor has been performed. It should include the number of subscribers that were obtained by individuals at the camp-meeting. Next Sabbath and Sunday is the time of the district quarterly meeting. Our librarians must not fail to report to the district secretary in season for this meeting. These meetings should have been appointed by each director; but owing to the fact that their appointments were not received, they were left as appointed last quarter. Doubtless the places of some of these meetings are not the best, but we did the best we could under the circumstances. We also send this week to each district secretary a blank for him to fill out and return to the State secretary. There should be no delay here whatever. Then comes the third Sabbath and first-day in the quarter, which will be the 18th and 19th of October, at which time the State quarterly meetings are held all over the country. But in view of the nearness of the time to the camp-meeting and the anticipation of holding a Tract Institute in this State soon, it is thought best not to have any general meeting, but each district secretary will report just the same to the State secretary, that a report may be immediately sent to Battle Creek, Mich., in season for the Supplement. If the librarians fail to report then the district secretary cannot report; and it will be missing in your State secretary's report, and the Supplement will show it. We hope there will be prompt effort by each librarian and district secretary in the State. In some instances we have sent to some member in the church, not knowing who is the librarian. S. N. HASKELL,
Pres. of Cal. T. and M. Society.
