If, in 1884, when S12,224 were paid for SER
vice, the contributions were S7,673, should
not the gifts in 1889, when S5,67S were ex-
pended. have been $3.50? We need more
money.
In regard to missionary grants Mr.. Adams
said that the weak churches should receive
larger grants, and these grants should be
properly distributed. Each local conference
should appoint committee to aid the trus-
tees in the matter OF local applications and
grants, so that the facts in the different
cases can be more readily ascertained. Last
year York county received $1,000, which
seems large proportion to go to the oldest
county IN the State.

Rev. Mr.. Bowler offered prayer. Rev. Mr..
Hallock followed In remarks upon the duty

we are called upon to help these mission
churches for many years in succession. we
must remember that their membership Is
constantly changing Yet we must continue
to extend the helping hand to this line of
weak churches If we would fulfill our duty.
We may think that we cannot afford to place
men for the whole year in the weak
churches. but we shall find that it will pay
financially and spiritually to keep able men
in the mission fields, for In due time the
fruit will appear

The stocks in the above list, which are at
present nOn-pr0ductive, amount to 81 500, all
of which were included in direct bequests to
the society. The contributions received during
previous year by $926.74. But the falling off
in legacies and income on investments was

receipts from all sources has been Sc 122S5,
which has compelled corresponding reduc-
tion in invested funds. OF the amount of in
vestments still in hand $50, $780, there are
held in trust as above, $1,000, and amount
limited by testamentary conditions is about
$4,000. leaving free for ordinary use say
$1,000, which must be further reduced by
$500 stocks at present unproductiye.
These plain facts should remove from any
minds the impression that gifts can safely
be diverted to other and wider fields.
Prompt and generous action, such as has
illustrated the history Of this society in pre-
