To the P. E. and members of the third quarterly conference, greeting;
We have during this quarter organized two Epworth Leagues, a junior and a senior. The senior chapter owing to a lack of experienced workers and on account of the absence of the preacher in charge, was a child of short life. The junior chapter, under the able leadership of Miss Emma ORR, is doing excellent work. Our children enjoy the work very much and take hold with an energy that is delightful.
We have three Sunday Schools on the charge and the quality of work that they are doing is unusually good considering the like of equipment. The officers and especially the superintendents are worthy of commendation.
We are preaching to the children and talking to them personally in regard their soul salvation. As a result of these services and this personal work, many are being gathered into the fold of Christ.

We have no Epworth Leagues on the charge. There is one Sunday School doing good work. It can be made more efficient and will be in time. We are doing all we can to instruct the children in the knowledge and love of God

Normangee, Tex.
Aug. 10,1914
To the members of the Third Quarterly Conference,
Greeting:
The spiritual state of the Church is splendid. The Sunday School has recovered in large measure from the effect of the whooping cough plague. The prayer meetings are well attended and bear evidence of real spirituality. The church services are better attended than at any time since I have been on the work. We have received one member by baptism, Fannie MAHLE; we have dismissed one by certificate, Lon SANDERS.
Res. Sub.
R. H. LEWELLING, P. C.
