The next annual meeting of the New York Tract and Missionary Society will be held at Adams Center, Jeff. Co., N. Y., Dec. 20, 21, 1879. We request a full attendance of all officers of the society and all persons especially interested in the tract and missionary work, as it is proposed to hold immediately following this a Tract Society Institute to continue two weeks. It is expected that every director and district secretary, and as far as possible every librarian, will attend this Institute. We have secured the assistance of Bro. Haskell, and every effort will be made to make our meeting and Institute a success. No charge will be made for board. Those who desire to assist in bearing the burden of the meeting can bring such provisions as they choose. The friends should bring some bedding, and bed-ticks where convenient. Reduction of fare has been secured on the R. W. & Og. R. R. All will pay full fare to the meeting, and one cent a mile on returning. With all these favoring circumstances, we expect to see a large and profitable meeting. Let all the officers of the society at once make their preparations for attending, and come prepared to stay till the close of the Institute. B. L. Whitney, Pres. The annual meeting of the New York Sabbath-school Association will be held in connection with the annual meeting of the T. and M. Society, at Adams Center, Dec. 20, 21, 1879. As this will be an important meeting, every Sabbath-school in the State should send as delegates to the Association such persons as will take a lively interest in the Sabbath-school work, and will attend the Institute which comes in connection with the yearly meeting. Matters which will have a great bearing on the future prosperity of the Sabbath-schools are to be considered. The Sabbath-school work will be given its proper proportion of time in the Institute, and every effort will be made to make the most of such time, so that the Institute will mark a new era in this branch of the work in our State. The best methods of imparting instruction will be discussed, and the practical workings of the Sabbath-school will receive due attention. The lessons in the Sabbath-school at the State meeting will be the lessons for the third Sabbath in December, found in the Instructor and the Lesson Sheets for Bible Classes. M. H. Brown.
