Mrs. NJ. E. Culp. OF Allegheny City
Pa, the treasurer, reported the receipts
and expenditures for the past year. Inc
total amount received was S1,O99 80
and the treasury is almost depleted, the
money having been paid out almost as
rapidlv as it was received. This report
was followed by an exchange or views
as to the best means Of raising money.
The ladies almost universally opposed
the festival aud similar plans because
the money did not seem consecrated.
1t looked too much as ii people gave
for the cause because they were per-
mitted to eat-'a compromise between
the stomach and the masters work"

the work of that body and the question

priated. The meeting adjourned for

children which was full of good things,
and which was most heartily appreciated
not only by the children but by all the
delegates. Mrs. Rev. E. II. Dornblaser
gave an interesting talk Of few min
utes on helpful hints from band work
ers which gave that class of mission
workers many valuable points.
Mrs. Dornblaser also spoke on "Why

sionary work? Do you know? Are you
trying to know?" Her discourse was

points in connection with the topic.
