Assembly
Shows Very Marked Decrease Both
in Receipts and Expend-
itures.
Baptist Missionary Union Holding
it's Eighty-third Conference
at Pittsburg.

EAGLE LAKE, Ind, May 25.-The first
order at the Presbyterian general assem-
bly, was the report of the Freedmen s
board. The second order was the report
on home missions. The report began
with a review of the financial condi-
tons of the past few years and their
bearings upon the debt of the board.
During three years there has been a de-
cline In receipts amounting to $4,000
in 1855 as compared with that Of
1923. At the beginning Of the present
fiscal year the board had debt Of
$310, 1000, which had been reduced to
$147 ,276 by an excess Of receipts over
expenditures of nearly 5000, by the
use of abont the. same amount derived
from permanent funds available for cur
rent work, and by the receipt Of over
$4,000 from special collections and from
the quarter century anniversary fund.
Other moneys in course of collection or
otherwise available further reduce the
net debt to $121,176.
For the purpose of current work the
board received a total of $780, RIO, nearly
$500, 1000 Of which was credited to the
women's executive committee of Home
Missions. The total contributed by the
churches was $476,115 and legacies
brought in $1O5,5s9.
The reduction of expenditures was OBJ
tanned by cut of 10 per centum in the
office expenditures in New York and by
a like reduction in the amounts appor-
toned to the various Presbyteries.
During the year 1,416 ministers had
been in the pay Of the board, Of whom
1a1 were in New York, 100 in Kansas,
100 in Iowa, SO in Minnesota, "a each in
Michigan and Nebraska, rs in Califor-
MIA, "a in South Dakota, 66 in Washing
ton and a smaller number in the rest of
the states and territories in which the
board operated. There had also been
308 teachers at work. Additions to the
churches numbered 1922, nearly one
half of whom were adults, who received
baptism.
In connection with the board are 2, 1870
Sunday schools and 1,6l7 churches.
The total expenditures for the year
were s716,371, of which $3.50, 877 was for
; missionary and school work, SIS, 432 for
