interest on investments, S9lO.72; total,
eS,0l0.72. Balance in Treasure's hands Oc-
toher 81, ISIS, Sl652.06. Permanent in
terest. bearing fund at par value, sll,930.
The market price OF all the investments in
this fund is over the par value.
The report OF the board makes appropriate
illusions TO the desth Of Thomas J. Starke,
ESQ, late president OF the board. The
boa think II unNise to change the proper

apart every year FOR permanent investment

..ev. NJ A. Wilson, Or. ". +. Hatcher,

NIGHT SESSION.
Tonight was devoted to the consideration
OF home missons. The report WAS read by
Rev. A. L. L. smith, Of Lynehburg. The re-
port says:
During the iorty.three years OF its history
the Home Mission Board OF the Southern
Baptist Convention never had a more pros
porous wear tban the present. More mission
aries have been employed, more work has
been done, larger area cultivated, greater
number OF additional churches reported.
and more money contributed than ever be-
lore. Work among the colofed people Is
being especially pushed in Alabama, Flori-
ia. Virgins, and other southern States, and
over fifty missionaries are aboring among
these people. The board has eight mis-.
siOnaries among the Germans In Texas, two
among the Mexican settlers in that State,
and one among The Chinese in Baltimore.
The Cuban mission has been greatly
blessed. Eight thousand people have SD.
piled for membership ia our churches. OF
whom eleven hundred have been accepted.

Il il 80 easy to be good next week
or the week alter, because that per-
son who is going to be good next week
or the week alter is another individ.
ual. the person Of that time is an
other person, not ones sell, not the
person Of this time. It is SO difficult
to say: Now, now, 10Y Is the time
to leave of; because the person whom
Nov" addressed is ones SELF, and ex.
periences the whole Remuneration.
And for this reason we may observe
that usually the time for carrying the
good resolve into effect is seldom this
moment or this day, but is always
among the to. morrows; and thus un,
counted good resolutions are made in

their budding into action being al.

The g. s. Sampson company, 81
North Adams. Mass. lately fitted out
ooms for it's employees, TO be used for
reading, smoking. and games. The
rooms will be open every day from
six in the morning till eleven o'clock
at night. The company further pro-
poses to furnish its help at any hour
day or evening with q light luncheon
at the actual cost. Such q scheme as
that is by no means rare in these
days when "hetping the laboring class
es',sisa fas hionable craze; but there
are n or two points about this
North Adams reading room which
show an uncommon amount ofsanity
in its projectors. In the first, place,
smoking and games are allo owed. Now
whatever may be said against smok-
ing and games, on the ground OF
either taste or morals, il is q fixed
fact that certain classes Of men will
not 60 for recreation into a
place where they cannot smoke
and. play games, and, what
is more, these men who want
to smoke are the very ones
whom our reformers OF the human
race are trying to reach. The walls OF
the ordinary reading room exhale an
odor of'sanctity. They are adorned
with NOTES of Scripture. which are
admirable in their place, but which, to
speak plainly, produce in the ordinary
unregenerate laborer a feeling ofgloom.
That alone is enough to keep him
away. But besides the judicious Sc
lections referred to, the eye is greeted
with the cheering signs, Don
use the cuspidors," mo talking al
lowed" and the like. The outcome
OF it all il that the reading room can
never compete withsthe common sa-
loon, where men 81 smoke, where Gus
pidors are not obtrusive, and where
talking is allowed. Consequently
only those who would not visit sa.
looms anyway GO into them-the right
eous and not sinners are-called to re.
~pentance. It is extremely unfortunate
that the facts are as they are, but
there is no lodging them, and the at
tempt to ignore or evade them makes
most OF these r~eformatory movements
such farces.

A few Hours with Women
who Toll,

Inc cnlel OF Ln0 state bureau OF La
Dor Statistics in an.oficiaI report in
the legislature says Of his experiences
among the cloak makers:
During one OF my visits to a tene-
ment house Of New York city Iinad.
vertently entereda room on the attic
floor of wretched old rookery on
Hester street. and found myself in the
midst of a number of cloak-maksrs.
The roomswas possibly ten feet square.
The ceiling was low and slanting, ind
its only source OF light was through
the begrimed panels Of glass of a small
gable window opening into the roof.
In these cramped quarters were six wo-
men and four sewing machines. Piled
up on. the floor were stacks of ploaks
