TABLE OF CONTENTS
PREFACE
THE organization of Tract and Missionary Societies in the several State Conferences, and, in fact, wherever our people are scattered, governed by the same constitution, to do the same work, and that work largely pertaining to the financial workings of the cause, makes it necessary that the financial condition of the several branches of the cause should be given in a work like this. Hence, in the following pages will be found just that information that every living, working, Seventh-day Adventist desires. Especially will the officers of the Tract and Missionary Societies find this work a necessary companion, and a great help in discharging their duty in establishing, as far as possible, equality in free-will offerings to the Lord.AWMW 5.1
We have not, however, entered very minutely into the workings of the several branches of this great Society, choosing to let time and experience in this work manifest that which at this stage is not perfectly clear. Doubtless some errors exist in names, localities, and amounts. These will be corrected in the Office books, when pointed out.AWMW 5.2
