Without carrying out fully what it suggests. You have received blanks from the secretary which are to be filled out immediately after your church quarterly meeting.
1. Be careful to fill them out correctly. Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.
2. Plainly address one to the treasurer, J. Webber, New Ipswich, N. H., and the other to me.
3. Be sure to attend to it at the proper time. Don't wait three or four days, but have it done when the time comes. Nearly all are prompt; and let every one be so.
4. Try to impress upon all the importance of paying what they have pledged. These pledges are sacred vows which we have made, and we should regard them as such. If you faithfully bear the responsibilities which devolve upon you, you will not fail to properly urge all to do their duty. D. A. ROBINSON, Sec.
NEBRASKA, DIST. NO. 1.
By George Dawson; H. A. Whittaker
To the librarians and scattered Sabbath-keepers of Dist. No. 1 of Nebraska: The time for quarterly meeting will soon be here. It will be held with the Fremont church, at the usual place, July 12, 13. We wish to see a large turn-out. Come prepared to help all you can. The district is in debt over $100. The scattered brethren can remit to me, at Tekamah, Burt Co., Neb., unless connected with an organized society, in which case they can send to their librarian.
I would say to all of the librarians, Be prompt in sending your quarterly reports of labor. Send your money in post-office orders or registered letters, and do not fail to mail to me the Monday following the first Sabbath and Sunday of July.
The last quarter I received three reports out of six churches. I had to send what I had on hand, and the balance two or three weeks afterward; hence the necessity of prompt action. Let us unitedly lift to clear our books from debt.
Notice of expiration of subscription will be given by special stamp on the margin of the paper. We should be pleased to receive your renewal at once.
The P. O. address of Eld. E. B. Lane, until further notice, will be Freemont, Newaygo Co., Mich.
The permanent P. O. address of Eld. W. H. Littlejohn, is Allegan, Mich. Any correspondence directed to that point will be forwarded if he is not at home.
WANTED.—A young man eighteen or twenty years of age, to learn the watch-maker's trade. Must be a Sabbath-keeper, and well calculated to excel in the business. Address, Geo. Bement, Belvidere, Ill.
