next, of which the following is a sum-
mary: The quarterly meeting superin-
tendents have performed their. work with
faithfulness and with how great an ex-
penditure of time and strength cannot be
estimated. And the discouragements on
account of being unable to find workers
to enter the open field, none can tell. We
acknowledge nevertheless the blessings of
Him who commanded His followers to
go into all the world and preach the gos-
pei to every creature. We recommend
that the work be continued under care of
a committee, and that the yearly meeing
appropriate $4,000 for their use during
the coming year. Summary:
