 That the work of the Brooklyn dis tricC M1ss1Onary association has been great success during the past year IS evidenced by the reports of inc treasurer and of Mir and Mrs Clifford from April l, 1900 to March 21, 1901. 1he tfeasurer's report is as follows:

Sj Public services, taken in full and III part, ........ 19 Garments given away, ....... 10G As seen by the report of MT and Mrs Clifford. these good missionaries have accomplished considerable good during the past year. They have worked diligently and energetically and their efforts have been very successful. But that the work of the missionary association has encountered difficulties l may be seen by a perusal of the fol- lowing letter that is being sent to l many people.
 Dea- Eriend: The first year of the Brooklyn Dis 1 trict Missionary association of this city is ail but ended. It has been q year of difficulty in many ways and yet withal a year of success. The work of securing the funds to carry on new movement is always hard but we have met with larger degree of success and encouragement in this matter than we had dared hope for | at the outset.
 The year will close with all bills paid. Another difficulty has been the work itself. A field so long neglected and containing. such a dense and mixed foreign population demands infinite patience and persever- ance. The valiant and persistent labors of MT and Mrs Clifford, our mis- sionaries, are we'll known. We are hoping that we may continue this l o,,1 fc, la, hui {c will depend of course upon the support received from subscribers. We trust that you feel disposed to renew your subscription of last year. or, if pos. sible, to enlarge it. It gives us pleas. ure to enclose d report of our mission aries which will give you an idea of l the work done during the year. also a report of our treasurer. which will give a knowledge of our financial con- | dition.
 May we ask that you will give this matter your prayerful consideration and return upon the enclosed blanks what you feel disposed to pledge fol the coming year. Will you not con ] tinue with us
