Oh these 100 were new applicants
This number is less than was added the
previous year; and the reasons for IL are
probably the pecuniary embarrassment of
the country, The supposed uncertainty or
obtaining assistance, on account of the
funds or the Society, shonld application
be made, and various other causes.
The number assisted during the first
five years is Clio, average number in a

The average number assisted the last

Receipts and Expenditures.
The receipts into the treasury for the
year amount to S55,07 so. Oflhis sum.
only Sl2,568 have been received from
the treasurers of the Central American
and Western Education Societies, and the
Western Reserve, Illinois, and Michigan
branches. Besides this sum, sl6,IS4 81.
have been received into the treasury Of
the Central American Education Society,".
which are not reckoned in the receipts of
the Parent Society, and which have been
expended for liquidating the debt which
had been long accumulaling against that
Society, and which had very much en-
barrassed Its operations. Great commend
alton is due to their Secretary, for his
efforts in making these collections. and
to the friends of the cause In the city of
New York and vicinity, for their readi-
ness in contributing to the object. This
sum has relieved that Society from pecun-
larry embarrassment, and freed the Parent
Society from much anxiety. Add this to
the receipts of the treasury, which may
with propriety be done in this repori, tho
not In that of the Treasurer, and the
amount of the receipts will then be ST.
| $50 or, making greater sum than has
been received by the Society in any year
except one, and in that year there were
1927, 900 received by legacies.
The expenditures Of the Society during
the year have been S55,755; exceeding
the receipts by Sl,659 81. This last sum
added TO Sl7 ,S48 70, the debt OF the last
year. makes Sl8,508 "a. But as $1,000
of the receipts, being a legacy for the
Permanent Fund, must be placed 10 that
account, and not used for current expens-
es, the debt of the Society al the present
time is S25, 588 "a, while the Permanent
Fund is increased $1,000. Though the
debt of the Parent Society has increased
the past year, and increased altogether bv
drafts upon it from the BREACHES. and
quite recently by the remittance to the
Western Reserve Branch of a thousand
dollars, to pay appropriations which they
could not meet; yet the Society, taking
the state of Us own treasury and the treas
uries of all the Societies connected with
it into account, is less embarrassed, by
more than $4,000, than it was one year
ago. All the branches are now free from
debt, and all appropriations to beneficial
ries of the Society throughout the whole
country are paid, or provision for their
payment is in the hands OF the treasurers.
This could not at any time have been said
for many years past.
All the pecuniary Liabilities are now in
, 1.-THE debt of the Parent Society. Though
this debt is large, the Directors entertain
the hope that it will ultimately be met
and the Society freed from It's embarrass-
ment. They cannot. however, but ex-
press their anxiety in relation to this sub
. ject, and most earnestly call upon all the
: friends of the institution to reader il their
: sympathies and prayers. and their greatly
r increased contributions
