To January / the Domestic and Foreign
Missionary Society had received toward
the apportionment from parish and indi-
viduals $lOS. 454.9S. as compared with so4,-
4H.E last year. an increase of about
$500. and this from 1,2I4 parishes, as
against S13 last year. 1t must be remem
bered that a year ago the books were
not closed until September 2S, while this
year they were closed soon after Sep
tember l. Making allowance for the diff
ference of receipts between these dates,
it means that this is actually an increase
CT about $500. And in this figure is in
Ciuded three large parish contributions
amounting to sl9,9l0. larger than usual.
and which hitherto have been received
later in the year. Therefore it appears
that the real increase to January / over
year ago is a little more than $1,000.
This is good. but it must be remembered
that four months of this year have now
passed: that the appropriations, includ
ing last years deficit, are N.310,00o: that
the apportionment is 800. and that on
il the society has received $loS. +i.1S. With
the meeting of the apportionment. the
forward movement will be continued.
