Bible Study Work Makes Ire
mendous Gains Over the Pre-
ceding Years
RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES
Local Association Stands High Among
Others of the State for the Religious
Work OF the Twelve Months-statis-
tics Of Association to be Presented at
Special Meeting Of the Board soon.,

The study of the Bible. by both
boys and men Of the Railroad 7. NJ. c.
A., has grown and increased with
tremendous leaps and bounds during
the fiscal year ending May l, as shown
by the annual reports Of the associa-
ton, which are to be presented to the
board of directors at a meeting to be
called soon. This report In this
branch Of the religious work places the
local association high up among oth-
ersS of the state.
The financial report OF the associa-
ton is also a satisfactory one. It
shows the receipts and expenditures
Of the year. and the various branches
Of the associations business from
which they were received. and dis
lbursed. &
While Bible study has shown such
remarkable gains during the past year.
the religious meetings have fallen off.
The Bible study is the essential thing,
however, and the showing is especially
remarkable, because 1t is due in q
large measure to the organization OF
Bible study clubs for boys. 8
The comparative report of this
branch shows that for the year ending
May 4, 1906, two Bible study classes
with fourteen students enrolled and q
total attendance OF 175. The year just
ended shows nine classes. with PIG en-
rolled and a total attendance Of ]. 10S
la gain Of 2O1 students and Of 933 In
atte4d ance.
During the preceding year no shop
meetings were held, but during the
past twelve months six were held
with an. average attendance Nof fifty
five. The mems religious meetings dur-
ing the year 100000 numbered thirty
one, with an average attendance Of
Ill. For the fiscal year just ended
the same number was held, with an
average attendance Of seventy one. The
total at all religious meetings was 81
5267 for the last year, and 4,812 for the
year preceding.
~ Associations Receipts.
The associations, money receipts
during the fiscal year were $7,690.15,
with $g42.s0 carried over from the pre-
ceding year, making a total of ST.
