THE State Quarterly Meeting of the California T. and M. Society will be held in Oakland, Sabbath and Sunday, July 19 and 20. It is earnestly hoped that all of the Directors and other officers of the different societies will be present and as many of the brothers and sisters as can.
Elder Haskell will be with us and instruct us in regard to our duties as officers and members of the society, and especially in regard to how the business should be done and the accounts kept. Institutes have been held in the east for this purpose by him, but his stay with us will only give him a few days to devote to this work.
M. C. ISRAEL, Vice President.
