Families without Christian care on visiting tta. -'''-'''''''''

Mrs. Finken also had three mission sta tions under her care during the year and conducted forty-two meetings, with an aver age attendance of thirty five persons. Fifty requests for prayer were received at these meetings. Twenty-six visits were made at the hospital, thirteen at the almshouse, thir- teen at the jail, and 200 books, papers, etc., were distributed there and elsewhere. Eff to those without and unable to buy for themselves. On Mrs. Finken's sick list were
 fifty cases, requiring $50 special calls; ten destitute Christians were assisted in various ways; six cases of destitution brought to the notice of the Board of Charities, or other relief agencies; forty other cases were pri- vately provided for, wholly or in part, and six persons assisted to secure employment.
 In connection with our new arrangement for taking missionary sections of the city under permanent care, instead of leaving section after canvassing it in order to visit others, Mrs. Finken has taken and now has under her missionary care six sections (in- cluding twelve squares), through which she has visited from house to house on thirty different streets during the year, finding therein over 800 persons without the ordi- nary Christian care that most persons SUD- pose everyone has in city like our own.
 The board of directors having decided that it could not make any appropriation for the service of either Mir. Mason or MT. Finken, l wish to make acknowledgement to those out side of the organization who provided the means for this enlargement of the society's work, namely: A friend of the Theological

Copied from a Portrait 23O Years Old.
 When Elihu Yale founded that time hon. ored institution of learning, Yale College, he struck blow at ignorance that has rever- berated for more than two centuries through out the length and breadth of the land, and placed his name in the foremost rank of Americas public benefactors. But greater scourge than ignorance is now running rampant in our midst. Do you know what ails you when you have dull headache no appetite; nothing tastes good that you eat ; specks pass before your eyes; low spirits; an irritable and peevish temper; bowels con- stipated; an appearance of red or white brick dust in the urine; a tired feeling and don't know what ails you? You have fallen a victim to that modern scourge, Mdt01sd. Nothing on this earth will tone you up so quickly and arrest the progress of Malaria as Lewis Red Jacket Bitters, the only sure cure for Dumb Ague, Chills and Fever, and all forms of Malaria Don't wait till you are on your back but begin at once the use of Lewis Red Jacket Bitters.

During the year my personal attention has been given to such miscellaneous work as seemed properly to belong to me and among which may be mentioned: The care and ex- penditure of various funds belonging to mis- sion work, seven in all; the visiting by sec tions of parts of the Second, Sixth, Ninth and Tenth wards; the establishing and car rying on of mission stations; mission meet ings condueted conference with pastors and pastors helpers in regard to families wishing to attend church; help to others engaged in missionary work among the Danes, Swedes, etc the pastoral care of Christians having no other Christian care. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, 1885, about fifty families were provided for with funds sent me for persons to secure employment, have had con sultations with officers of the Connecticut Humane society, the orphan asylum and oth- CT institutions in regard to persons under their care, the legal guardianship of several dependent children, and have persuaded children to attend Sunday school and par ents to attend church.

II. OTHER WORK UNDER CARE.

First. paid work At the close of the last missionary year the work of carefully can wasting the different wards of the city had so far been completed that there was compara- lively little left to be done in the visiting from house to house to find families who were without any permanent Christian care. But as it was never intended to secure only 8 list of religious statistics and there leave the matter, there has been special endeavor to continue what has all the time been done by myself and others in connection with the getting of these facts, namely: The visiting and revisiting all such families once found and willing to be called upon again during the winter of '85 and 'S6 The services of MT. P. H. Mason, a student in the Theological senina- ", were secured for portion of his time, and nearly one hundred families placed un- der his care. MT. Mason reports having been able to secure opportunity for religious con versation, Bible reading, or prayer, with 13O different persons, once or more, and that 1O6 expressed a personal interest in their own re- ligious condition. Fifteen families were in- duced to attend church, and by their consent their names were given to pastors of their own choice, with their request for pastoral care. Most of the children in these families were already in Sabbath schools, but ten, found out of Sabbath school care, were persuaded to attend. MT. Mason's experi- enee in this work agrees with my own, that the people who are strangers to our cnurcneS are nov Ouly not unwilling Io Do called upon in this way, but often express wonder that it should not have been done before Instead of considering it an intru- sion nearly all have seemed grateful to be sought out and remembered in this way, and all the more so when they have been told the starting point in the work was in the church of Christ. Good results have always followed whatever time and strength have been given in this particular direction. Greater results should be our expectation from the putting forth of greater effort in the future.
 Another gain during the past year has been the appointment of lady missionary for special work among the women and chill dren on our missionary list. Mrs. s. M. Finken, member of the St. John street Methodist church of this city, and who has for two years past given generously of her time to our volunteer work, has undertaken from May 1st, 1886, additional work in the direction above indicated. The funds in hand for this purpose did not allow us to ask or expect as much time she has given. Her report for the year, includes among other items, the following:

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
GladstOne's Policy.

Gladstone, the 4th, issued an adj
dress to the voters Of Midlothian, in
which he touched upon the policy OF his ad-
ministration of Irish affairs: The new
government will institute an inquiry into
the entire land question in Ireland and into
the question whether there exists any
necessity for the Introduction Of any spec
tally reerc;ye measures in legislation for
the lris, people; but the main policy Of
the government shall be to endeavor to
reach the source and seat OF the mischief
generally admitted existent in that couu-
try. There are three question concerning
Ireland which demand the attention Of par
liament-the question of ORDER the ques-
tioD OF land reform and the question of
self-government. The desire Of self-gov-
ernment must necessarily be subject to the
hopes to find safer aud more effectual
method than coercion to remedy the other
trouble.
