THE T. AND M. INSTITUTE AT SIGOURNEY, IOWA.
By Geo. L. Butler
Once more we call attention to this important meeting, earnestly requesting all who can, to attend, especially ministers and T. and M. officers. To give all a better chance to attend, we have concluded to omit the usual State quarterly meeting, for this quarter, which was to have been held in Sandyville the last of April. The regular reports from districts should be sent to Lizzie Hornby, Davenport, Iowa, as is usual after the district meetings have been held. We hope for full reports. The T. and M. Institute at Sigourney will be of greater importance than a State quarterly meeting; so let us have a large attendance. The practical instruction in book-keeping afforded at this Institute will be of more than sufficient value to justify the expense, even if we had no higher motive than to learn to do our own business correctly. A person who has learned to keep the T. and M. books correctly, can keep his own. We have the assistance of a practical book-keeper who asks us nothing, as individuals, for the instruction given. Let those who can, bring bedding, and be as little burden as possible upon our friends at Sigourney. We shall try to improve every moment of the time, and expect it will be an opportunity of spiritual improvement as well as of instruction in the different branches of our work. GEO. L. BUTLER, Pres. Iowa T. and M. Society.
