SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL s, 1893.


THE NEW YORK Tribune still persists
in saying that the South continues to
wave the bloody shirt, but it comedies
that the waving is done by her fool
friends" And it does this though It's
neighbor, the Press, keeps the ensan-
cuined garment flying at its peak from
the beginning of the year until the end
thereof. The Tribune must know that
the bloody shirt is any thing else
than pleasant memory to the
people of the South, and if it
would give them credit for the pos
session of common sense, it would also
know that they, therefore, try to bury,
rather than wave it, and that even II
her STOOL friends were disposed to en-
gage in such ghoulish glce, they would
not be allowed to do so. The North Is
the section in which the animosities OF
the war between the States are nursed.

This report refers only to the money that has
passed through the hands OF the treasurer. The
various guilds Of the parish have raised cOnsid-
cradle sums for different benevolent and mis-
sionary purposes, Q report OF which Is included
in the annual statement to the convention for
the year ending June l.
After paying the note at the Boston bank the
treasury will still have balance Of 1881. To
this will b added $50 in unpaid pledges in the
Easter offering. Thus St Marks parish closes
the year with all bills paid and . balance on
hand Of 32lSSl. The treasurer stated that prob
ably $3.50 Of unpaid pew rents and subseri ptions
would also b collected. II was gratifying to
the members OF the congregation to hear from the
treasurer that throughout the year all current
expenses had been paid promptly when due and
that no bill against the parish properly vouched
had bssn refused payment
Few churches are able to make such ad-
mirabls financial showing, which speaks we'll
for the interest of the congregation and the
careful management Of the treasurer and vestry.
