Cash on hand at the beginning of the year,
sos 81; interest and collection At Auburn,
AZ 81; paid out for expenses, 8l9.67; on
hand, Sll9.l2.
Varions subjects relating to the associa-
tional work were discussed. The topic,
What new plans shall now be adopted to
infuse new vigor into the association, &c"
was opened by Mr.. F. L. Dingley Of Auburn,
who said we need faith, not only deep but
sincere; We want the props of self reliance
and worldly wisdom knocked away. We also
need gospel of good digestion. More tenn.
perance was required in eating as we'll ~ in
drinking. He knew no better receipt for
warmth and vigor than work. If you want
to get people to work 90 to work yourself.
You must have something deeper than emo
tional religion, something deeper than par
oxyisms of spiritual excitement in the prayer
meetings.
DR.. Morse said our purposes were three
fold, FIST to convert souls, second to train
Christians, and third, to carry the gospel to
the masses. We must be in earnest and per-
sistent in our efforts. He advised the young
men to 60 out and organize associations.

The contract is completed for the erection
Of the building at Hallowell, designed for the
State Industrial School for Girls. The con-

are finished. The building is thoroughly
plumbed throughout. The interior finish is
in hard wood, white pine doors grained, and
southern pine flooring. The walls are white
and smooth, the plastering having been done
with scrupulous fidelity. The Trustees and
Building Committee, through the efforts OF
one of their number, Hon. John L. Stevens
of this city, have visited similar institutions
in other States, obtaining information that

tured, to be ready by the last Of December.

be needed by churches and benevolent socie-
ties who should be specially interested in this
benevolent and philanthropic work. An ex-
cellent opportunity is here presented to do a
real and permanent good.
Arrangements are not yet fully matured for
the dedication of this school building, but ii
is expected that these interesting exercises will
occur shortly after the assembling of the leg
