 Main Features of the Committee's S
 Report.
 The committee of the Church of the Redeemer in charge of Welcome hall, in their anual report say that last August communication was received from Miss Mary E.Remington, the lady missionary, saying that she felt obliged to sever her connections with Welcome hall that she might give her time to the establishing of similar work in oth- CT places. Miss Remington was urged to withdraw from her purpose with the result that her resignation dated from November 12 instead of October 12. The committee highly commended Miss Remington's promptness, courage and Ialthfulness to the call of duty and her work at Welcome hall. A new lady missionary has not been engaged, but
 
 gagement with one soon.
 In speaking of the condition of the mission the report says that the Sun day school remains about the same as for the three years past, but regularity in attendance was never as good before. The Sunday school collections from the main room have amounted to $31.29, of which 90 per cent. was from the children or scholars.
 The Sunday evening meetings have also been increasing in interest each year.
 The report proceeding says:
 The Girls Sewing society on Monday evening numbers over fifty. who pay small monthly dues, and one-third the cost of the material is paid by the girls, and the balance by the Young Ladies Missionary society of our church. The society has recently been divided according to age into senior and junior departments.
 The Young Mems club which meets on Thursday evenings has kept up in numbers and interest. The conduct of these meetings is in the hands of the members; the debates cover subjects of local and general interest, and form- CT active members of this club are pre- siding officers in some of our local so- cieties about town and yet come to those who have charge of the club for advice in connection with their positions.
 The Boys club which meets every eve ming except Sunday in the basement of the hall, is conducted almost entirely by the students of Yale university. The average attendance is aboue sixty, and it has developed by careful se1ec- ton from noisy crowd of one hundred boys to sixty quiet, interested and ap- preciative ones.
 The gymnasium class of this club is in charge of a lady from the Ander- son gymnasium and meets on Thursday evening.
 The Mothers Sewing meeting is held on Friday afternoons and is in the opin- ion of your committee one of the most valuable of the branches of your work. These meetings are opened by relig- ious service, and it is believed that for many of the mothers that it is the only religious service. they ever attend. The religious service has been of such value to one at least, that although she has removed to Westville, she is found in her place every Friday afternoon for the service alone The women pay three-quarters of the cost of the mater ial which they make into clothing, etc, the balance of the cost, amounting last year to about $S5, is paid from the mis- sion funds, and is the only money that is used for any purpose from that fund, except for the payment of the regular expenses of the work. Perhaps it is proper to state in this connection that
