 The Society of Kings Daughter sconnec- ted with the Second Congregational church, has just made it's annual report, which follows: "The object of the society is to develop spiritual life and to stimulate Christian activity. We are pledged to our motto, Whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus." Any woman whose purpose and aims are in accord with it's objects and who holds herself responsible to the king, our savior, and Lord Jesus Christ may become mem- Der of the circle. We organized in Janu- ary, 1890, with eleven members, and now number twenty. The fee is five cents weekly and ten cents per member annually to the central council in New York. The progress of the circle has been all that we could reasonably expect. The society has held twenty meetings at it's homes of mem bers. These meetings have been opened with devotional exercises, followed by sewing, much of which was for the poor families who attend our Sunday school. We have sent garments to the Home of the Friendless and the New Haven county home. We have sent $15 to Shigi Naigi, a former member of the Second church, for the Japan famine sufferers in Tokio; $12.50 to Miss Lanfear for ten shares in the missson home at the diamond fields in South Africa; $29 for the directors table at the Y. M. 0. A. rooms in this city. We have also bought shoes, dresses, under-clothing and sundry supplies sufficient to increase the sum of our benevolence to $S0. We gave Kings Daughters sale in April at the chapel and tea at the parsonage by which our funds were largely increased. We wish to thank all our friends for their kindly assistance.
 The return of the old brig T.
