SARATOGA, N. Y, May 20.-In the
Presbyterian General Assembly this
morning the Beard of Home Missions
presented It's eighty-sixth annual re-
port through the Rev. II. S. Little, D.
D., OF Texas. Mr.. Little said man
has lived n generation who has kept
touch with our homo missionary work
for the last twelve months. The income
has been on a steady increase, giving
pleasing proof OF confidence in the
board, although, owing to peculiar cir.
cumstances. this year.closes with bal.
ance OF SS0,30l on the wrong side.
There was, Mt tho beginning OF the year,
n debt OF SJ3 337.
The receipts OF the first six months
showed an increase OF S55, 600, und those
OF the first ten months an increase OF
SJ2, 600 rs compared with tho year be.
fore. But in February and March there
was falling of Of $4,000. The total
receipts have been SS3l,l70. Tho As
senbly asked Tor SS00,G00 in 1887. The
churches fell short OF thia only some 9
per cent. That Of 1883 asked for $780,.
900 and got 9S per cent Of it. In 1850
$4,000, only some 5per cent advance
on lSSS was asked for. 1t is rather dis.
appointing that this year there should
be such deficit. But We are cheered
by the steady and healthtul increase of
contributions from the Sunday Schools
and societies Of young people. There is
great need OF more invested funds that
can be used as collateral for loans in
such temporary emergencies. The avail
able collateral is 0nly about $4,000 for
general work and $1,000 for womcn's
work. From April to November for sev-
eral years, the outgo has exceeded the
income iromSl 900 to Sl.500 day, hence
the need OF loans and the collateral to
get them.
The need Of all the money and men is
increased by the great recent activity in
railroad building, which has multiplied

Mr.. William Irwin urged the appoint
ment OF DR.. Mcmillan as Secretary, and
said that gentleman was prominent in

as well as Bible. Other speeches were
made on the work in the Western
States, and arrangements were made
to assist the payment Of the $4,000
church debt.
