Remarks were then made by the President, calling attention to the fact that a large amount of good might be accomplished if each member of the society would take some burden of the work, and be prompt in reporting. Remarks were also made by Bro. Patterson and Webber, giving the experience of several members of the society who have distributed tracts on shipboard, and showing the eagerness of some to get hold of reading matter on present truth.

Mrs. Etta B. Goodrich, Hartland, Me., was appointed assistant secretary. Bro. J. E. Allen, director of Dist. No. 1, resigned, and Bro. R. T. Hobbs, Somerset Mills, Me., was chosen to act as director in said district for the remainder of the year.

On account of bad roads, but few were out to this meeting. Bro. Patterson, director of Dist. No. 3, came nearly fifty miles through the mud, and said he was richly paid for his trouble. This is a good example for others.

Voted to adjourn sine die.

J. B. GOODRICH, Pres.

R. J. GOODRICH, Sec.
