double the help given to men with fsnli- lies in the city.
 Our religious work has also advane- ed and we are doing a more definite work for the souls of men than ever be- fore,
 The good accomplished by this work cannot be tabulated. The fact that 'OO men have been given temporary em- ployment and that 42 per cent of them have gone out to permanent positions is worth all that the work costs. In
 addition to this the Gospel has been
 preached to all of these men, to many
 of them for the first time in years and
 they have all been brought in contact
 with Christian men and influences.
 Many of them have undertaken earn estly to follow Christ in a clean upright life, Some of these of course have fail- ed, yet it is a great source of encour- agement and inspira ton to see the faithfulness of some of these men and the desperate fight that they make against sin. Many examples of the good done could be given.
 Some months ago A. came to us. He had become stranded in the city on ac- count of depression in his line of busi- ness. He had others depending on him and had sent away all money above eX- penses from week to week.
 He remained with us a few days and was recommended to one of the institu- tions of the city where he has held a trusted position to the present day.
 B. was out of work because of sick ness, He remained for some time. He seemed to become Christian and later obtained a good position in one of the factories of the city where he not only plies his trade but has for week at time taken entire charge of the factory during the owners absence. We sd him occasionally in our meetings and often when he comes in to exchange books that he has borrowed from our 
 C. was an active Christian man, but out of work. He remained only a few days before securing position. He now earns good wage, as machinist and has brought his family to the city to live, Recently he offered his ser vices in the evening if there was any way that he could help in the work thus showing hisI depreciation for the help given,
 D. was brought up by Christian mother but went out into life, earned much money which he spent freely and became wild. His wild life brought him down so that he lost everything. He came here with the idea of remaining for three days, but at the end of that lime decided to remain until he could go out to live a new life. He was here lbout four months, gave evidence of a ,hange of life and went from here to # New York to a good position. From the etters received from him from time to ime he seems to be keeping on in his lew life.
 A long list of such cases could be siyen if time permitted. This work has 'een done and many permanent inn made at a cost to contrib ltors of only $1,450 while the income rom the business has been $17,495.78 'hus. it will be seen, that the public has cen asked for only one-twelfth of the honey needed to carry on the work. We elieve this to be a good showing and hat men capable of so nearly support lg themselves while here are worthy of UT sympathy and help i'll their effort ) get on in the world. Through the generosity of a friend we ave been able to pay off one of the mortgages on the property during the asst year, and have reduced our debt ) $10,000 and have a small fund toward i his amount We need this amount to pay off our ebt as well as funds for very necessary Xtensions. We believe that our work appeals lore and more to those who desire to ee practical results, and feel confident ( lat those with means will come to our I ssistance in the provision of this ( oney as we'll as the few hundred dol g IFS necessary for the running expenses. 0 1e appreciate the cooperation of the Z her institutions of the city and be- a eve that as we all come closer togeth- r
 the whole work will be improved and f lvanced. e Thanking God for His abundant bless g in the past we look forward to the f Iture with faith for a larger and more ii seful work T
