 Miss Marie Burch, Corresponding Sec retary, reported many generous dona- tions from friends. The list is too long to give in detail
 Mrs. Tanner gave an encouraging re- port on the transient room and Mrs. Stringfellow on the rest room Report of General Secretary. During the last nine months. for that Is the length bf time your Secretary has been with you, there have been no startling changes or developments in the work of the Association, but the work has gone steadily on and we feel sure that many strides forward have been taken. even though not many ma teriaT results may be seens There IS unmistakable evidence that our aims are better understood by Montgomery people and our friends are multiplying every day. God has been with us and has helped us in all we have tried to do. while many prayers have been an- swered most wonderfully. am sure that on the part of the active workers of the Association there Is a deepen Ing conviction that the Lords approval Is on this work. and that He wants It to prosper.
 cannot refrain from speaking first of all, of the splendid work done tn a financial way. We may stand on and pay tributes, but I want to say most Semph atically. and know all ol you agree with me. that our President mas borne the brunts of the finance work, and has borne it most uobly. And nere is a point that we often forget: II IS only as our finance work goes ar1eoth ly that we are at leisure to plan the other departments of the work.
 The Boarding Home Is the chief fea- ture of our local work and we may well be proud of it. We are siving q Christian home to twenty-sfx young women, and while 1t is impossible to give statistics which will adequately express the good we are doing in this way still to one who has an opportun- .ity to study the matter from day to day the good results are emphatic and rnmistakable. Sometimes in my impa- tience to set about developing tho oth- CT departments of the Association, I may have seemed to count as naught the work of the Boarding Home. would not be so understood. 1t is cur means at hand to do great work for the girl in the business world and 1t Is so great a trust and responsibility that it may well send us to our knees. But A~A A4 e.- "A when we may reach out helpful hands to the young women of Montgomery those outside as well as those inside the Boarding Home. With a board of twenty women we should not be con- tent with q field of thirty girls.
 One of the most hopeful features of the Association is our Feliowship Club which has such an earnest enthusia sfic. membership.
 We have only one Bible class, but we hope after the Bible conference fo he able to organize q number of classes.
 Our vesper service is growing.
 The gymnasium work fs going on. Those who come seem greatly interests ed We hope to make this real pow. CT for the, Association.
 The swimming pool is most sue cessful feAturs. \
 Tn looking forward to the work oY next year we feel that there Is avery reason in the world for encouragernenf Shall we not feel that ft Is a f,fiviIaspa 10 work for the Master thronab ,Ss Young Woman's christian Association and shall we not pray that every board member, every committee Yhann- Der, as well as the Secretary and every Individual member of the Association, forgetting the things which are behind ana stretching forward to the things which are before, may press on toward the goal Into the prize of the high csII- Ing of God h Christ Jesus.
