District Superintendent's Report
To The Pilgrim Holiness Church. Kansas District, Greetings:— Dear Co-labourers: Another conference year has come to a close, and in
compliance with our custom of giving an account of our yearly labor, it faintly reminds us of hc time when we shall be assembled at the judgment to give an entire account of our lifes work. The past year means that a portion of lifes history is made and completed: what it might have been or could have been will not alter the facts of what it is.
On account of the changes made by the General Council, I feel that you will all agree with me that the past year can rightly be called a year of adjust-ments, though a few unpleasant things have occurred, however, the God of Israel has been wkh us and in general a beautiful spirit has been nanifested. Again I feel like saying that God has greatly helped us, and there is no reason that we should nbc go forward, if we be scripturally and spiritually armed as Paul has said, 'The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God, to the pulling down of strong holds.'
I took a number of subscriptions to the Advocate and few souls were both saved and sanctified, which will all be given in the Church report I have done my best where no doubt many could have done better.
Number of churches - 19 Visits made to churches - - - 42 Sermons preached - - - 70 F-Iomes called in - - - 103 Trouble calls and trips - - 3 Churches organized (by self) - - 2 Churches organized (by others) - - Total churches organized - . - 3 Amount of cash received from District - $456.42 Amount of donation received from District - 23.00 Total received - - - - $479.42 Miles traveled visiting Churches - 5,700 Traveling expenses - - - - 84.79 Received on traveling expenses - - - 53.86 Do you tithe - - - - Yes Do you place your tithe in the P.
