 The total receipts for the year are s15,O7142 a gain over last year of s2S5.- 0S. Sixty-six auxiliaries have made an increase and fifty-four have fallen off most of them by small amounts, but aggregating nearly $500. But we are glad to note that there are fewer of these cases than last year.
 Nine societies have not yet reported, and also a few Mission Circles and Christian Endeavor societies. There is every reason to hope that when these have been heard from the total receipts from the organizations of the branch will exceed those of any year in our hs- tory, excepting our twenty-fifth anni- versary The thank offerings amount ed to $1,232.07.

 SURVEY OF FOREIGN FIELD.
 In these days of foreign war when news of battle and call for troops fill the air, it is important that all who love foreign missions, should not re- lax their vigilant interest, in the far extended, peaceful warfare in Christs kingdom
 1t is well to stop to-day to glance over our field, to study our maps, to scan our bulletins. Wherever we look We find our missionaries, skilled experts, laying mines which shall destroy the bulwarks of error, training battalions of youthful soldiers, and calling for rein forcements to fortify exposed positions and occupy strategic centers For this annual assembling of the Home Guard many messages and re- quests have been sent by our represen- tatives at the front. Let us hear them with glad and reverent hearts, and re- turn quick and willing response. In India our missionaries write of this as "a year separated among the years" a year of wonderful success, notwith- standing the famine and plague, the riots, and reductions.
 The 18th of last Dec. was observ- ed as day of prayer for the Awaken ing of India," and it would seem as if the awakening had already begun. In the Marathi mission nearly four times as many persons were baptized as in any preceding year of missionary work, and 97 more women than men, among the S36 converts.
 Mrs. Hume's letter for our meeting is | a message of gratitude, first to God for | wonderful deliverance and sparing mercy, then to our Branch for unfail- | ing love and sympathy with grateful i love to each Auxiliary and Band who have assisted in making garments for l the school.
 This second year of the plague has been worse than the first, it's woes can | not be pictured to us no wonder as they go about the infected city, they are asked, Docs your God give you a charmed life that you walk these l plague-stricken streets?
 Is it any wonder that the tender care which would have been given to five l absent children, was transferred, and l multiplied to reach 175 famine orphans
The daily morning journal and courier., 1898-05-14

It will be remembered that last year the annual report was not printed in it's usual form, and that the money thus saved was used to rent and furnish a room for the bureau of information. This was much needed and the wisdom of the plan has been fully approved. Miss Dickerman, the secretary in charge of the bureau, reports as fol- lows
 By changes imperceptible does child hood pass to the period of expanded powers. One day it awakes prepared to assume the material forms of devel- opment. The bureau is child no longer. For the first time does it ap- pear at annual meeting in garb which gives assurance of greater efficiency III days to come. The newly acquired cases, folios, drawers are proving a valued equipment as their contents in the form of fresh letters, leaflets, peri odicals keep the Branch in touch with the varied phases of it's work in distant lands.
 Material for Life and Light topics has been sent monthly to societies adopting these subjects for their meet ings and there have been frequent calls for information on self-chosen topics; this is encouraging as an index of mis- sionary interest and desire for more intelligent giving"
 It is with great regret that we report the long g-continued and serious illness of Mrs. Woolsey, vice-president of the Branch and one of it's most faithful and honored members. Her hospltable home has been, as usual, at the service of the executive committee during the year, but her kindly presence has been greatly missed from our councils.
 It is with further regret that we re- port the necessary resignation from the executive committee of two of it's off, cers-Mrs. Samuel Hemingway and Mrs. Herbert Smith. The recording secretary also feels it necessary to re- sign her office owing to a pressure of other duties.
 The usual executive meetings have been held during the year by the cen- tral committee of the branch and the plans suggested by them for furthering missionary interests have received the cordial endorsement of the county officers. An officers meet ing was held last fall With full at tendance of members from out of town. These meetings and the other union meetings held in the fall have proved of much value. Those who attend them gain in unity of aim, in breadth of interest and in loyalty to the Branch and the Woman's board.
 The New Haven Branch has the great advantage which comes from thorough organization, and we rightfully expect from it with it's ample equipment, an increasing usefulness and power for good. Let us not forget however, that the whole is but the sum of all it's parts, and that with each individual member of the Branch love and zeal must keep pace with increased knowledge and ability if the work is indeed to go for ward and great results are to be won.
