Reports from the Churches
By J. D. Rice
We are glad to be able to present as full a report from the churches as we have for this quarter. Yet there is still chance for improvement, as will be seen by the report. All have not responded, although the publishing of this report was delayed for some time, to give all a chance to do so. We hope, next quarter, to have complete returns from every church and company of Sabbath-keepers in the State. We trust all will see the importance of faithfully reporting whenever requested by any of the officers of the Conference. Let a ready response be given. Be assured they seek your good, the glory of God, and the prosperity of his cause. And certainly once, or even twice a quarter is not too often for us to inquire after the welfare of God's people, and to know your prosperity in the work of the Lord. Then let there be faithfulness on the part of all, in promptly and cheerfully filling out the blanks sent, and returning them to the proper officers. Any inquiries about reporting will be cheerfully received, and instruction returned. We would also be glad to hear from the lone Sabbath-keepers in the State, as often as they are pleased to write. We will be glad to answer their inquiries, and render them any assistance we can in their work of preparing for the kingdom, and in leading others to the truth. We would here state, that we have received word from quite a number of these lone ones, since making the request through the Signs. We hope to hear from still others. All who know of any such, will confer a great favor by reporting their names to me at any time. J. D. Rice.
