town as well as at home; to each and all we
express our thanks. It is sometimes
thought, and sometimes also thoughtlessly
said, that such work as this does not register
many results. Faithful service. whether in
ife-saving or in soul saving, is in itself q
most valuable result. But 1t may also be an
additional satisfaction to those who have
made some investments of time or strength
or money in the New Haven City Missions to
know that at the meetings at the central
rooms alone there were between three and
four hundred requests for prayer during the
year, that after one of the meetings at the
same place there were sixty persons in the
inquiry room, and that in addition to my Or
binary parish list as missionary pastor have
list of more than fifty men, mostly young
men and nearly all working men, who have
in connection with these same mission meet
ings given their names of their own accord
as those who wish to do better and live bet-
ter lives. They have not been included in
our list of conversions, but they are certain
~ looking and moving in the right direction.
And it is to keep an open door and an outs
stretched hand for such as these, as well as
for many another, that our mission work has
been established and will be maintained.
In close connection with the work of the
past year Is the movement now in progress,
through the students department, TO reach
all parts of the city once or more each year
with courteous inquiry as to the religious
deavor to give expression to the kindly in
terest that is felt by those already included
in our churches, by membership or other
wise, in those who are not as yet SO con-
nected. 1t is not included in the work of
the year for which report is now made,
and therefore details of the plan or of re-
suits expected cannot be appropriately given
here. But the work itself is a fact. The
canvass of the city is now nearly COM
pleted, and although this in itself is but
the beginning of the work of following up
the facts in this way brought to our notice.
we believe that our part in this work, in
common with the part to be taken by the
pastors and churches throughout the city,
will give to the work of City Missions in
New Haven a completeness that is needed
elsewhere as we'll as here.
It surely is not too much to be expected
that those who believe in the religion of
Christ, and have been strengthened and COM
forted thereby, shall find some way in which
to get such good news to others who now
seem to know not of it, or care not for it.
And as we strive to find and to follow the
footprints of Him who came to seek as well
as to save, we may well expect the help of
His good Spirit whose presence we reverently
acknowledge in the work of the year that is
past, and whose guidance we most earnestly
desire in the duties of the year to come.
Respectfully submitted,
W. D. MosMAN.
