INTRODUCTORY WORDS
IN sending forth this number of the " Minutes," the Secretary would extend thanks to all who have assisted in gathering the statistics of churches, conferences, and associations. He wishes, also, to thank the reporters of the churches for the church blanks returned to him. These are exceedingly useful for reference.
There is one point upon which we need to place greater impor- tance, - promptness in gathering the statistics of the churches. If the church reporters make returns promptly after January 1 to the conference scribe, the scribes can report more promptly to the Secretary, who can report more promptly to the Year-Book. A delay at the starting point, the report of the church, means a delay all along the line. With no less emphasis upon accuracy, let us emphasize promptness.
