Morning journal and courier., 1892-05-11

pO1nCS roacleQ DY them anu Iuo I .0.C.1. have given to our treasury over $l ,OOO more than in 1891.
 The devout and earnest character of the force of workers was mentioned and the spirit of willing helpfulneYs that often lies dormant, but when aroused leaps into &C., tivity. An appeal was made to the young women to rally to the help of this work.
 The marked events of the year have been the organization of three new auxiliaries, at Prospect, Durham and Branford; the presence in this country of two of our branch missionaries, Mrs. E. s. Hume of Bombay and Mrs. Eaton of Mexico; and the retirement from active service on account of long continued i'll health of the beloved president of the board, Mrs. Hart, whose term of office began eighteen years ago.
 Other changes were mentioned. Among them, the withdrawal of the New Britain societies to connect themselves with the Hartford branch, where their natural geographical relations would have placed them in the beginning had the Hartford branch then been in existence. Their eff ciency and iberality have been important factors in our branch work, and will prove so in their new connection. The report closed with Ruskin's words: 'If you do not wish for his kingdom, don't pray for it. But if you do, you must do more than pray for it; you must work for it."
 The report of the corresponding secre- tary, Mrs. Hume, was read by Mrs. s. l.. Cady of this city.
 S1e said that the New Haven branch of the woman's board of foreign missions supports twelve missionaries. This society also supports twenty-four Bible women. Besides these this society supports eighty scholarships in college.

 "i do not think I can too prominently say that our gratitude towards this, the American Marathi mission, has been piling up and piling up all the years of this cen tury. As far back as 1914 this mission came forward and opened 8 vernecular school for boys. In 1895, only eleven years later, it had about thirty schools and | over 2,OOO children in them. In fact, they may take this to their credit, that in fe- ally the first in the field, as they opened the first girls school in 1894. In 1895 they had as many as nine schools; in 1898 they had their first boarding school.
 But our gratitude goes @ great deal further than Bombay. It has to roll across the wide seas to the United States of America, and in the most public way l beg to thank those generous, public -spir- tied, far-seeing and charitsbly minded people, who have during so many years contributed towards the maintenance of American missions in India, and who are especially the contributors toward the purchase of this building. I take this public opportunity of conveying, on behalf of the government of Bombay, ou1 most grateful thanks for the assistance the people of the United States are ren. dering this government in pushing for. ward the cause of education in India and think that perhaps has a wider sig. | nidcance than at first appears.
 q see in front of me the flags of two En glish-speaking nations-cousins in blood the United States of America and Grea Britain. They are united by the color hung on that wall, which signify the sen timents of liberty, fraternity and equality ! and hope that the assistance America ii l rendering England out here in the cause ! of education, and that the conjunction o1 | these two flags may be the most happy augury that in the near future EnglanC and America will be joined not only ir | the benifcent and charitable task of bring | ing the best education possible to tht homes of the people of this country, bn that the efforts of those two great coun tries may be directed conjointly and hand in hand to 8 far greater and more desira ble end, that is universal peace"

 An address, Junior Work" was mad,
 by Mrs. Child, in which she spoke of thu
 wonderful work the Y. P. s. c. E. 80 cieties were doing in these societies. Spe
 cial mention should also be made of the college volunteer students. who are doini
 much to aid the cause and on whom tn, duties of missionary fields will eventuall, devolve. It is also worthy of note ths
 no church by establishing junior societie
 has diminished as regards the regula
 missionary society, but on the contrar, numbers, zeal and money has beer greatly increased. Many mothers sa, my children are in so many thing
 they can't go into this missionary society
 They should therefore strive to impress ol
 mothers the fact that it is one of the bes and most important things She appealed to young ladies to find their happiness i,
 becoming leaders of missionary bands She also spoke of the great interest in th
