meet the apportionment. and of 81. 400 In
addition to pay the debt Of the society.
Pledges were taken and over 500 secured
for the payment of the debt. AS a means
Of helping out the finances it was 4Vqted
to ask the auxiiiaries to. buy the pub
lished repc/s at ten cents a, copy. It was
argued that paying for them would In
crease their value in the eyes of the pur-
chasers. Money. raising received much
consideration and report was made
recommending that the society should try
to increase it's annual receipts 25 per
cent and secure a pledge from every
member of the church. There was much
of this tenor in Mrs Luella G.: Mudde-
kings address on "Minnesota's Opportun-
ity."
