Meeting held in Social Hall, April 6th, 1874. Opened by singing and prayer by Sister Simpson. Minutes of a former meeting were read and approved of.



Sister Morrison expressed her gratitude to all presentfor assembling together with such a good influence. Then she called for the Visiting Teachers to give in their reportts and let us hear how the people feels (sp)



The Teachers accordingly gave favorable reports; few wants among the poor. Sister Tregore is in need of assistance. Brother C. Anderson wished to pay the Dr. 3-50, but not able to do so. The Society agreet to pay it in flower (sp).



Several of the Sisters made a few remarks and expresssd themselves freely. Sister Morrison spoke toothe Mothers to teach their little ones to pray, let

them grow up in the fear of the Lord - pure and holy before Him. For God will in a measure hold us responsible for them. And in regard to the "U.O.",let us be faithful and true to our calling, for God requireth nothing more than we can perform. Also spoke about our meeting house being in such a dirty and filthy condition and grieved to think that a place of worship should be kept in such a way. A vote was called for; that we should clean it. It was responded too.
