Reports From the Field Show De-
crease of Debt.

Winona. Ind, May 24-The report of
the board of home missions submitted
to the Presbyterian general assembly
today, began with an extended review
of the work of the whole field, saying
in conclusion that Gin spite of circum-
stances, the financial year has been
good one
The year opened with a cash debt of
$147, 276 and closed with debt of $751;
$780, an increase of $40, 562. Its size is &C
counted for by the change from quar-
terly to monthly payments of salaries
to the missionaries in the field. Contri-
buttons amounted to $685., $40, a decrease
of $685. from last year when special
efforts were made.
Operating expenses were cut down by
$7515, and administration cost IS, 578.
For mission work, S421, 72S were given,
and for Sunday school work, 1l,l92
The total expenditures amounted TO
1922, 965, of which $40, $50 were for mis-
sion work, and $225.S66 for Sunday
schools. Under the board are 1893 mis-
sionaries, 81, 1862 church members, 2,01S
Sunday schools with 123, 622 pupils. or
the 1882 churches under the care OF
the board, ten became Self-SuppOrt1ng
during the year. The net deficit on ac-
count of the operation of the Presby-
terrain building in New York, of which
the board is half owner, amounts to
date to 4,4S5, but this amount IS COW
cred by a special loan, so that it is no
burden upon the work of the board. 1t
Is estimated that if the whole of the
building were rented, the DOarQ WOulu
receive a net income from it of $3,786,
besides free rental for the administra-
ton of the board.
The board of aid for colleges and
academies, in. its annual report, said
the board supposed Tuesday, July 9Th,
1897, it held a large amount in cash and
securities. The next day it learned that
$4512 constituted it's entire assets The

embezzied the remaining SCI, 1884 6. The
case was placed in the hanSs of the
surety com pany who was on Charmley's
bond and they took him into custody,
but he escaped. Every effort has been
made to trace and arrest him, but not
a clue has yet been discovered.
An honOred friend loaned $4,000 for
immediate necessities and members of
the board and synod made prompt and
generous contributions for subscription,
and the board was able to close the
year without a deficit and without using
any of the ordinary income of the
board for the purpose to replace nearly
all the embezzled funds except small
remainder for which it held good
pledges. The year on the whole had
been the most prosperous in the boards
history The expenses have been re-
duced 20 per cent. The number of stu
dents was 2,733, a gain of 16 per cent.
The receipts were $145,246 and the ex-
penses SIO2, 461. The cash on hand
amounts to SAB, 7S5.
