TRACT INSTITUTE AT ADAMS CENTER, N. Y.

By B. L. Whitney

THIS meeting, we believe, will prove a source of great profit to the cause in the New York Conference. Although it was not so largely attended as we hoped it would be, yet every district but one was represented, and those who did attend came with a mind to work. Five regular meetings were held each day, and yet the interest continued good to the close. The presence and labors of Eld. S. N. Haskell during the early part of the meeting added much to the interest of the work, and all expressed great regret that he could not remain during the entire time.

One of the most encouraging features of the meeting was the interest manifested by the ministers in the tract work. Nearly all were present, and took an active part in the exercises of the Institute throughout; and we have good reason to believe that all will take an active interest in the work of the society, and use their influence for the advancement of this branch of the work in connection with their other labors.

The brethren parted with feelings of good courage; and the officers of the society, and, in fact, all the brethren and sisters, returned to their homes determined to carry out the instruction received, and to engage with new zeal in the missionary work.
