568 from Mrs. M. Walker, editor of Zion's Hope, representing the Home Column and Missionary Fund, from November 27, 1886, to March 26, 1887, a period covering not quite four months, accompanied by a draft of $411.41, and in behalf of the donors of this fund asked that no elder addicted to the use of tobacco be a recipient of any part of this fund. She also stated that very many who had contributed to this fund, had expressed earnest desire that the elders should manifest greater interest in the spiritual welfare of the sheep and lambs within the fold.

The Quorums of High Priests, Seventy, and several of the quorums of elders reported, showing changes in the quorums as follows:

The Seventy had expelled John S. Patterson from the quorum.

The First Quorum of Elders had enrolled Thomas J. Beatty, James Moler, L. W. Torrence, Charles Coombs, John Taylor, Ephraim Thomas, David S. Holmes and Marcus Shaw.

The committee on examination of the financial statement of the Board of Publication were instructed to inquire in regard to the number of employees in the Herald Office and the wages paid; and in their report, in addition to reporting on the financial accounts, they said:
