Z CORRESPONDING sECRETARY'S REPURr-lSJ5
Tbs year just closed has, am glad to
say, been marked by considerable pro-
gress. While our membership has not
increased as we should have liked, yet
az a union We are much better fitted for
! the work of the year before us. Six
active and three honorary members
1 have been added, but three of those
active members have left the city
Tota. number of meetings held, 80.
| Feeling the need of centering our
! work i'll some place that we would be
/ free to use as we chose we rented these
| premises and opened with an ice cream
/ social on the evening of August Sd 1891
/ We began Sunday afternoon Gospel
meetings and still continue them. We
would very much like to open this for
4 reading room, in the evening at FEAST,
/ but the pressure of our Financial strin-
gency has 50 far prevented. We trust
we may yet be able to DO this, that we
/ may meet a real want The Gospel
/ meetings have been largely attended by
] our own women, but we have been
grateful for the help given by outsiders.
a memorial service was held in mem
DRY of Mrs. Mary I. Lathrop, conducted
! by Rev. K. I. Lynd. One of these
meetings was addressed by Rev. +. \.
( Lawson, and at another we had with us
Mr.. Lee, our missionary to the lumber
men of our state. We have been as
sisted in the musical part of the service
/ by Miss Forward and Messrs Strand
and Chisholm to whom we desire now
to express our sincere thanks as also to
others who have in any way aided us.
Besides the Sunday services in orr own
nall one was held in the Presbyterian
4 church in honor of Neal DoW's Goth
birthday and two in the Methodist
/ church at one of which Mrs. kinball
presented our work, and again on the
invitation of the pastor TO supply a
service during his absence which was
done by members of our own union.
We have also visited and conducted a
song service in one of our large board
ing houses. \ course of lectures was
arranged early in the winter to be given
at intervals during the season and for
which excellent local talent had been
secured, but the attendance even at the
very small admission fee of 10 cents
was so small that we c,assed them AS
parlOr socials, sending out invitations
and serving refreshments. Still the
response did not justly US in asking
our friends to come to us and for the
present they are dropped. This is one
of the many dlsdppointments we meet
with in our work. Whether ouriuvited
friends thought that temperance lee
ture was to be thrust upon them We
know not, hut if they so Judged, they
made a mistake. The subjects were
those of which we all need to know
more, and when YOU next receive an
invitation We hope YOU will come and
enjoy the evening and the lecture with
Us. Two parlor socials had been held
previous to this, one at the home OF
Mrs. Whitney and one at the home OF
Mrs. Christie, at both Of which ouI
work was presented. Two DemOrest
contests, at which boys and girls con.
tested for silver medal. have been the
means of arousing good deal of en-.
thusiasm among the young folks Forty.
FIVE individual names and one society
officially represented, have been Sc
