kerfoots remarks regarding the rer-
centagc OF expense 10 eoiiections has
been used ny crlucs, anu the poard
says, out OIL lts proper connection IS
misleading ana unjust.
The comparison OF the total number
or missionaries al any one time win
diiferent period, though they greatly
differ, proves nothing the number OF
has been put ON a cash basis
Under the same heau IL says;
This board does not except for
special reasons pay me entlre salary OF
any missionary, It's general policy be-
Ing mainly to AID the struggling and
weak In destitute helds by supplement
ing the compensation OF local churches
and associations. If there has been
want and suffering among our mission
aries. 1t is the result of the inability,
failure or neglect OF the churches or
associations ON their fields OF work TO
comply with their obligations to them,
since this board has always promptly
met every obligation incurred.
Open to Inspection.
