We have had six or seven meetings during the last year and have been aided in 

 these by S. B. Hartman of Athens, F. A. Wilken of South Haven, Prof. White of 

 Lansing, Mr. Scudder of Augusta and Mr. Converse of Battle Creek, who have 

 given us many new and progressive ideas. We are enrolling quite a large number 

 of new hustling members and I think nearly all of the old members will renew. 

 This will give us a larger number of members than we had last year.
