The financial condition Of the
church was outlined By DR.. Scudder
in the beginning ipf his annual report
as follows;
Although 1914 opened with gloomy
financial prospects and it was voted
for the first time in the history of the
church to dispense with printed an.
nual report and to cut down the cal
endar to a skeleton, we expended 1920
more on ourselves and gave to others
$7174 mere than in 1913. The totals
are $1S,03S for our own self-support
and S49,256 for benevolence. We fey
$3873 short of 1912, our banner year
in giving. Considering the hard times
of the first half of 1914, this is a fine
showing.
Commenting on the increase In
and the general work of
the church office, he said:
Additions to church membership
were small-only SO, of whom 80 we're
on confession, Is men and Is women.
Eight men and q women joined by

women, or 1853 members all told.
"Your minister united 10 couples in
marriage, captized II children and
conducted II memorial services.
Owing to illness in the home and to
his absence on the mainland, which
prevented pastoral visitation for five
months. he made only 725 calls, or an
average Of 103 a month. " 7
