churches to help to meet this responsi- bility. Notas part of the present work
 of the church, for if it Is their work
 they should straightway do 1t, and l mission work as separate work should l cease. But as a supplemental work to the work of the church and so closely
 related to it that the churches of this city might well be expected to give, as
 churches, for it's yearly support, much
 more than the $400 or $500 that is now
 given.
 l Meanwhile, and since our incorpora- l tion in 1891, with two pastors of church. ' es Changing each year for two others),
 as our president and vice president, f1f-
 teen Christian men are associated to-
 gether as directors of the City Mission
 ary associatio are entrusted with the
 care of Its property, select those who
 shall in it's missionary service urge on
 the work for which it exists and by
 frequent inspection of this work and
 reports from its workers, endeavor to
 meet their responsibility to Christ and
 His church, and to those who either
 within or outside of the church provide
 the sneeded funds.
 WHAT'S OUR METHOD OF WORK?
 A double method. A building as
 center of activity of so varied sort
 within it, that place can be found for everyone, older or younger, whom we
 can induce to once enter it. And out
 side that building the city, with it's many homes and hearts, and oftentimes it's broken homes and hearts, waiting for the coming of something that may make things worse, or the coming of some one who shall be able to make things better.
 And so we have the double work with In the mission house and outside of 1t. Daily, nightly, from early Sunday morning until late on Saturday night Lighthouse work. both to warn and guide, Life saving work, as workers together with God" trying to so present God to men and men to God that the soul may receive that eternal life which He alone can give, and trying also to restore those who seem to have lost that life. And all we ask of God and of His people Is that we may be allowed to do this work more nearly as both He and they would wish toNhave it done.
