AMERICAN EDUCATION SOCIETY.
/ IN January, 1919, the Society received g ,24s.
, In February, 1921 it received 1892. That Is. at
q period Of its existence two years later, when
the subject was more distinctly before the Chris
! tan public, and the number Of benefciaries was
increased from 40 to more than 200, the receipts
! IN one month were 1916 dollars less than during
| the same period two years before. Il may be
asked, though this is true Of one month, what IS
the state Of facts if you take several months to-
gether? la Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. Jan. and Feb.
| six months during the winter Of 1920 and 1921,
the receipts were g, 123. In Jan. Feb. March,
! April, May and June. six months Of 1879, the
! receipts were Sligo That il, al this late pc
I rod, when all Christians ought TO be awake on
! this subject, when the number Of revivals Of re-
( Iision is greatly increased, and of course the
number of suitable candidates for this sacred
charity, as well as that preparation Of the heart
which makes people ready and happy to aid in
this cause, the receipts Of the Treasurer Of the
American Education Society are diminished, in
| the term Of six months 1851. Are Christians
ready TO say, while they read these facts --let
| know the whole truth, on this subject keep
\ back nothing the wound must he probed 70 the
| bottom before il can be cured. IN the last au-
tumn and winter, during six months. the rece pts
were, as stated above, S3,I@3. Ia June 1919
II
two years ago than 10 six months Of the last year.
But ihis is not all; in one year previous to the
nth annual meeting, the receipts, except one
. bequest, only the interest Of which can tie ex
pended, were 50. l48 only. In one year previou.
to the fourth annual report the receipts were
$l8,330, that's, 10,182 less last year than year
before.
At the quarterly meeting, in Oct. last, the D
reCtors not only made a standing rule, that The
benefciares should give their notes for one hal
the monies which they received. TO be paid with
- one year after they left college, and reduce,
the allowance to each one fourth, but also direct.
81 their Treasurer 70 pay to the beneficiaries nu
hundred and sixty two dollars more than he hat
received FOR this purpose.
Mr. Editor, have Do remarks to make 81
these facts, if they 10 not arouse Christians the,
would not awake though one should rise from
l the dead.
