MINISTER'S RELIEF FUND.
I. II. Elicit, Esq. president of the
board. read the report OF the ministers
relief fund.
The board had during the past year
refused no worthy applicant for help.
The report noticed in fitting terms the
death Of Mr. O. It. Sntherlin, who had
from the beginning been "a member OF
the board and an actiTe helper IN this
work. The board had received during
the wear 81, 200 from the contributions of
the churches. and 81, 1888 from its In
vested funds.
The board had aided forty-three up
plicants during the year. the largest APP
preparation being $50 and the smallest
1880. Mr.. Elicit made an interesting
and gratifying statement in reference to
the fund. He was gratiiied at the in-
creased contributions of the churches
and the increasing interest in this great
object.
He had. as the result Of his experience
in connection with this board, changed
his opinion rs TO the financial ability OF
preachers. He had come TO the conclu-
sion that preachers are, rs rule, the
best financiers 10 be found or else they
could never live on the meagre salaries
they receive. He said that the board
had refused no needy case that had been
presented.
Rev. DIR. T. S. Dunaway, OF Frede-
ricksburg, warmly expressed his Rratlti-
cation at the success of the board and
the wisdom with which the fund has been
managed.
General J. G.. Field made an earnest
and effective speech in approval Of the
objects of the board and the management
of the fund.
Professor C. l.. Cooke facetiously said
that if anybody had attacked this board
"he was set for the defence" but that
if no one opposed it he would call for the
question.

on new boards, which was adopted, as
