PENNSYLVANIA T. AND M. SOCIETY.

By B. L. Whitney; Mrs. D. C. Phillips

The State quarterly meeting of this society was held at Wellsville, N. Y., May 2, 1880. The President in the chair. After the opening exercises, Eld. Canright preached an interesting sermon on sacrificing. Reports of the two preceding quarters were presented and compared, showing increasing interest, the amount of labor being more than doubled during the last quarter. The President, in remarking upon points of interest, spoke especially on the importance of reporting, calling attention to the fact that should each individual act the part that God designs, a marked improvement would be manifest. Attention was then called to the necessity of increasing our reserve fund. Nearly $400 was pledged. The following is a summary of the report for the quarter ending March 31:—
