ILLINOIS T. AND M. SOCIETY.

By R. F. Andrews; Mary Byrket

THE State quarterly meeting of this Society was held at Pittwood, Ill., Oct. 19, 1879, at 9 A. M. Meeting opened in the usual manner.
M. Byrket was appointed Secretary pro tem. Reports of labor were given, followed by remarks by J. W. Tait, Director of Dist. No. 9, who spoke of the necessity of laboring more diligently, and doing all in our power to advance the truth; he also presented the importance of attending to the financial condition of the society.
The President, Eld. R. F. Andrews, then called the attention of the society to various important items before the meeting,—the German paper, which has been lately introduced, also the French paper, showing the necessity of faithfully canvassing for these periodicals, among our French and German friends.
Adjourned to call of Chair.
SECOND MEETING.—This meeting was held at 12:30 P. M.
The following resolutions were adopted:—
Resolved, 1. That our brethren throughout the State should arouse to greater earnestness and zeal in the missionary work.
2. That the Sabbath-school and health and temperance work should be especially remembered.
3. That in localities where there are German people, efforts should be made to introduce the German paper, and obtain subscribers and interested readers for the same.
4. The tract concerning the Pocasset tragedy should be freely circulated in all localities where this terrible deed is charged to S. D. Adventists, and thus save the cause of truth from reproach.
5. The church library, consisting of eight volumes of Sister White’s works, should be placed in every company of Sabbath-keepers within the bounds of our Conference, and we urge the directors, and T. and M. officers in the several districts, to see that these matters are attended to, and faithfully carried out.
Adjourned sine die.
R. F. ANDREWS, Pres.
MARY BYRKET, Sec. pro tem.
