During the present qt. we have raised and sent to the tres. ten dollars for domestic missions, making in all only $25.00 dollars raised and sent to the tres. for dom. missions and nothing for foreign missions

Our Sunday schools are doing real well, all things all things considered. We need trained workers very much.

Dear Brethren

We have no Epworth League. We have two well organized Sunday schools on the work, which under the efficient leadership of their Superintendents seems to be doing fine work. We hope to have another organized at once, as we now have a place with plenty of room and convenience for a Sunday school. The work looks hopeful in this field of our work.

Supplement (B)

Dear Brethren; We found the spiritual state of the church in a healthful condition which no doubt was largely due to the leadership of our predecessor. Our congregations have been good since we came on the work. The interest manifested has encouraged us in our efforts to deliver a message in the name of Our Master. We hope to see men and women grow stronger spiritually and others brought into the Kingdom as we continue to minister to them. To this end let us meditate and pray

To the Presiding Elder and Members of the second quarterly conference.

Dear Brethren;

We have no Epworth leagues on the work. We have three Sunday schools on the work. One of these has just been organized a short time, but is starting off in a very encouraging way. I think they are all doing good work. One complaint that comes from one of the superintendents is that he experiences trouble in finding teachers that will be there every Sunday and take that interest necessary to put life in these classes. We believe this difficulty is experienced in most every school more or less and we hope that our Sunday schools will become of such interest that this difficulty will be overcome. We hope that as many as one representative from each school will attend the institute to be held at Jewett.

Dear Brethren;

The spiritual state of the church we judge to be reasonably good. When the weather will permit of it we have good congregations at most of the churches on the work. We have organized a prayer meeting at Iola that is being well attended, and we think it is calculated to do much good. We have received into the church 10 by certificate and lettered out one. The work is encouraging.

Dear Brethren;

We have been preaching along on the line of missions or dropping a word here and there concerning our obligation to this great work. Bishop WARD made some very strong points in support of this great cause in his address at Normangee. We have taken our missionary collection at two of the points on the work and the people were liberal in their response, but we feel there ought to be a greater interest in this the greatest work of he church. Champions today and it shall be our constant endeavor to bring it about

Supplement (A)

To the P. E. and members of the 4^th qt. con.

Dear brethren;
We have organized one Epworth league at Bedias with 17 members which has made a good start and I trust will be helpful to the town of Bedias. We have 3 Sunday schools on this work. They are not all we wish them to be but I am sure they are proving helpful to those who are taking part in them. Our prayer and hope is that a greater number of our people may become interested in this important work.

Dear brethren;
The missionary interest of our charge is very good. We have had no trouble in collecting our missionary money. We organized a home missionary society at Bedias with 7 members. Our home missionary society at Normangee has been and is doing a good work.
