Dear Brethren:
I submit the following,
We have a very good Sunday School with E. C. PHIFER as Supt. and a good set of teachers as helpers. I think our Sunday School is doing good work, of course the weather has hindered all our work very much.
Leagues:
Our League with Miss. FLETCHER presiding. I think our young people are doing as well as could be expected considering we have had such a cold and wet winter.
Spiritual State:
The attendance has been very good, but we hope it will be better when the weather gets warmer. We have not had Prayer meeting all the time but we are beginning to get normal again. We have received three by certificate, as Follows: Guy Hill HEATH, John V. FOX and Mrs. John V. FOX.
Dismissed by letter one- Charles MCMICHEN. Death one- J. H. WOOLEY.
The Home Mission Society is very active and is doing fine work, and bids fair to do a greater work this year. In fact I could not get along without a Missionary Society.
We are praying and expecting a great revival. Let us all pray to this end.
Respectfully Submitted

To the Presiding Elder and members of the Third Quarterly Conference of Normangee Station, Marlin District Texas Conference.
Dear Brethren;
I submit the following.
Sunday Schools. We have one school which is doing splendid work, it is holding up fine and all are trying to go forward in the Masters service.
League--Our League is not as well attended as it was for awhile. Different things are in the way, and the young folks are not taking the interest they should for some reason. While I know it is hot and too, so many things to call them away from the path of duty.
The children are always looked after, and we never forget the child of today is the Church of tomorrow and they must be cultivated and reached.
Missionary Society-- This arm of the Church is doing real good work on all lines.
Prayer Meeting-- The Prayer meeting is not as well attended as should be by any means. Those who do attend are interested and enjoy the means of Grace which it alone supplies.
Spiritual State of the Church--The general state of the Church is not what we would like to see, but so for as the attendance is concerned they attend real well.
Cause of Education-- We are looking after this part of the work, and doing all we can. (1) The sermon has been preached (2) We have not observed any day (3) we have no day for this special cause (4) We have taken care of the cause of education in a general way. I think we have about four in our schools and about that many in other schools.
The sermon on a call to preach has not been preached, and we have no candidates for the Ministry.
The committee to assist the Pastor in circulating the literature has not done much. I think they have been to busy about other things though nine new members have been secured.
We have a record for membership of the Church and we have a record for Church Conference and they are well kept I think.
We have three received this Quarter, have dismissed one - Mrs. Ersyl WRIGHT

I submit the following
Sunday School: Our Sunday School is in good running order, and is doing good work. We lost quite a number when our young people went off to school. The interest as a whole is good.
League- The League went down for a while as the main workers went away to school, however, I think the interest will be better now for we are trying to get back to work.
Spiritual State:
I hardly know what to say about the condition of the general state, for our people do not attend Church, as they should, hence will say that it is not what it should be by any means.
Our Missionary Society is doing a splendid work under the leadership of Mrs. W. L. MARTIN.
