SPECIAL NOTICE.
By Stephen Nelson Haskell
As instruction will be given during the camp-meeting in the various branches of the work, including the duties of church officers, those brethren and sisters acting as church clerks and S. B. treasurers, as well as the librarians and district secretaries, are requested to bring their books. These will be examined by proper persons, and such instruction given as is needed. "Cursed be he who doeth the work of the Lord negligently," are the words of inspiration.
It is not unfrequently the case that persons are called to fill some office in the church, tract society, Sabbath-school, or temperance club, who have no experience whatever in that kind of work. It is not only justice due these individuals that they be properly instructed, but it is a duty we owe to God to do all in our power that the work of the Lord, the most important of any in the world, may be transacted in a proper manner.
Instruction will not only be given in regard to the manner of keeping these books, reporting, etc., but also in regard to the duties of those filling these offices, and whatever assistance is necessary to properly arrange the books will be rendered. If it should be impossible for the various officers to come themselves, their books should be sent; but the better way is for all to come. We look forward to this meeting as being, in many respects, the most profitable ever held in this State.
