ANNUAL REPORT OF DIRECTORS TO THE
| STOCKHOLDERS.
The Directors of the Church Extension
Society respectfully report that at the
first meeting subsequent to their election,
viz, on July 2, 1888, they organized by
the election of the Rev. A. G. L. Trew as
President, Mr.. Jas. f. lowell, Vice-Pres-
ident; Mr.. John w. Hugus as Treasurer,
and Rev. H. S. Jefferys as Secretary
At meeting on January 18th, the Rev.
Mr.. Jefferys having resigned on account
of his departure from the country, Mr..
Jos. w. Swanwick was appointed Director
in his place.
Five meetings of the Board have been
held since the last annual meeting on
June IL, 1888.
The following property has been con-
veyed to the society during the same
period:
Lot on which is sitnated the Church of the
Ascension, Boyle Heights, Los Angeles; decided
by W. H. Workman.
Lots and in block 4, in the town of Ingle-
wood; from the Centinels Inglewood Company
and Dan Freeman.
Lots 5 and l6 in block 27, town of San Mi
guel, San Luis obispo County; from Pacific I'm
provement Company.
Lot block 2. Washburn's subdivision of
farm lot so, as per map of San Jacinto Land
Association, San Jscinto; from A. p. Anderson.
Lot II, Meads subdivision of lot in block
10, town of San Jaeino; from A. P. Anderson.
Lot 80, Olmstesd s su ubdivision of tract Il, San
Jsciuto; from Anna Rosslie Vail.
Lots 5 and 6 in block %. of the Estudiilo
Land and Water Compsny's addition to town OF
San Jacinto; from Francisco Estudillo.
The corporation has executed mott
gage on the Boyle Heights property, to
secure a loan Of $3.50, made by the A. G.
E. F. Commission to the Mission of the
Ascension, Boyle Heights.
A loan of $780, at six per cent, has
been made temporarily to the Mission at
Sierra Madre, to relieve the Mission
| while awaiting receipt of loan voted in
May, 1888, by the Trustees of the A. c.
B. +. Commission. The necessary pa
pers and mortgage OF the property at
Sierra Madre, duly executed, were for
warded several months ago by our attor-
ney, but up to the present date nothing
has been heard from the secretary of the
Comm ission at New York. The tedious
| and extre mely inconvenient delay in this
case bears witness to the advantage
which this society will confer upon the
| church in this district, when its claims
| upon the support of churchmen are re-
| cognized, and its funds have been made
| duly large.
Several applications for loans and do
nations have been reluctantly refused,
as the funds Of the society have been in
sufficient for that purpose.
| During the present year it will, per-
haps, be inexpedient to call in the an
nual assessment OF % per cent. on un-
paid stock in view of other more impera-
tive demands, which will be made upon
the churchmen of the new diocese OF the
South,
At the same time it is greatly to be de-
sired that the Board should receive en-.
larged means. A loan of 500 or 5000 at
the present time would prove Of the
greatest service to several missions
They are feeble now, but by such assis
tance they would be enabled to complete
their working equipments so as to insure
speedy increase Of strength.
Meanwhile, small as are the result:
which we can as yet record, still they
are sufficient to more than justify the ex
istence of this society, and they are &
pledge of the multiplied good that it will
yet accomplish.
1t is also well that the recommenda
ton OF the Board on previous occasion
be enforced, that rectors and missionar
les take means to secure donations o
land, either for church and school sites
, or for endowments, while pro
perty is comparatively i'll an in
active condition, and consequently more
easily obtained; and the Board woulC
urge this upon the clergy, while alst
drawing the attention of the laity to tht
, great importance of the benefit, presen
! and future, which will be thus conferred
upon the church. By this means tht
church in The South may hope to be il
possession in years to come OF valuable
, and substantial property.
The Board cannot close its report with
out referring with great regret to the losI
it has sustained in the removal of it
8 Secretary, the Rev. II. s. Jefferys, whC
has been identified with the organization
from it's inception, and who always tool
, deep and active Interest in its welfare
