represent the Home on their board or directors, with a view of bringing the two organizations into closer touch, and to bring about more helpful co-opera- tion. Figures are inadequate to show the usefulness of this work; however We append a few. with the hope of giv- ing an impression of the scope of the work We have provided 46.464 meals and lodgings in return for work done, have distributed S63 garments to men in the home. and have paid in wages to heads of families in this city S1,322. Six hundred different men have been helped in the home. and forty-fiye per cent. of the men have been placed in good po- sitions. Men helped to positions at the beginning and middle of the year are still holding those positions, and are giving satisfaction to their employers, and some of these men are constantly helping other unfortunate men to posi- tions. That men appreciate the help given them there is no doubt. They show this in many ways; by personal kindness to those who have helped them; by remembering the home and striving to help the men in the home from time to time. One man helped provide Thanksgiving dinner by giving from his small salary. Another helped with the Christmas celebration, thus answering the oft-repeated question: Do men appreciate the help given them?"
 Many cases could be cited to show the usefulness and success of this work:
 A. A boy of good parents ran away from a good home in North Haven, came to this city, got into bad company and was arrested. Our attention was called to him by an officer of the law,
 who suggested that the boy might be
 helped. He was turned over to us by the city court, and was finally sent
 home, with resolve never to run away again.
 B. young man helped by the home has been advanced to q responsible po- sition in one of the large corporations in the city, because of his faithfulness here
 and because of our confidence in him. c. A young man, who had held good positions, but latterly had lost them through dissipation, came to us and re- solved to remain and become estab- lished in new life He was here for nine months and was given a responsi- ble position in the home. He was al-
 ways faithful Ea the trust put in him, and in the end went out to a very re- sponsible position, which he has now held for several months. We hear his testimony occasionally in our meetings, and know that he ie living tn rod een1 the past. Many such cases could be re- hearsed if time and space permitted. This work has been done, and an un- told good accomplished by the aid of | those who have so generously contrib uted to its support Contributions
 have been given to the amount of s1, 500, and the income from the busineess has
 been $13,000. We believe that our work
 appeals more and more to the people of 1 the city as it is better understood, and
 I've look forward to the future, believing
 that it will be as largely supported in
 the future as it has been in the past, not only by the money which it's friends
 can give, but by the moral support,
 faith and prayers of those who trust in 1.-the Giver of every good and perfect < gift. We believe that it was through
 His spirit that this work was estab- lished, and because of His abundant l blessing it has developed and advanced : during these past years, and by trust
 ing in Him and doing our very best we
 expect in the future to see still larger
 developments and to rejoice in it's still
 greater usefulness.
