To the N. Y. Conference.
By C. O. Taylor
I WOULD say to the church of the N. Y. and Northern Penn. State Conference, that your treasurer, W. S. Salisbury, of Adams' Center, Jeff. Co., N. Y., is waiting to open an account with you. He wants the amount of your pledges to the state Conference. He wants it at once. He wants his books to be in some business shape at the end of the year, and he cannot have them so unless the treasurers of the different churches do their duty and send in the amount. I presume by this time each treasurer knows the amount that the church will donate to the State fund, and it will not take ten minutes to inform the State treasurer of it. I would recommend to the churches and treasurers of this State, the remarks of the Mich. Conf. Com., in Review No. 3, as far as they are applicable. Let all concerned in this matter do their duty at the right time and place, that all may know that your heart is in the work. Your treasurer will then expect your quarterly reports according to Art. iii, Sec. 3, of the constitution. I understand there has been too much neglect in the department of reporting to our State secretary, and treasurer the last year, from churches and messengers. I do not understand this. We are certainly engaged in a work in which promptness will pay.
