For the details of the work of the
House the past year, We commend your
attention to the report of the General
Agent, which is herewith submitted. We
have to congratulate you on the contin-
ued improvement in both the character
kax Of id IC 9TH or
publications of the House.
We have to notice with deep sorrow
and regret the loss to the House and the
denomination generally in the decease
during the year of Rev. W. H. Ryder,
ID. D., OF Chicago. During his life he
was always constant and earnest in bis
devotion to our interests, and in his
death he has left many substantial evil
dences OF his attachment to the cause he
SO ably supported. The House will re-
ceive very material share in his bene-
factions.
In accordance with the recommends
ton of the directors at the last annual
meeting, the twenty fifth anniversary of
the House was celebrated at the Shaw
NUT Universalist church on Thursday,
October 81, 1887, under the direction of
special committee of the Board, consist
ing of Rev. DR.. Miner, and Messrs. Joy
and Caverly.
The occasion was great success, and
was participated in by all branches Of
our work. The record of the same should
be preserved in some substantial form.
Respectfully submitted,
For the Directors,
THOMAS H. ARMSTRONG, CLERK.
