Whereas, Our T. and M. society is somewhat embarrassed for want of funds to carry forward the necessary work connected with the cause of present truth in this State, therefore
Resolved, That we recommend that all our people take some part in raising a reserve fund to aid in the work of the T. and M. society.
This resolution was adopted, and drew forth many interesting remarks.
When we view the shortness of time, and the many souls that are rushing on to destruction, it should stimulate us to make the best use of the advantages which the T. and M. societies place within our reach in winning souls to Christ. Dear brethren and sisters in Maine, let us take hold of this work unitedly. J. B. GOODRICH, Pres.
