While the book is in press the following interesting statistics are received, which are deemed of sufficient importance to insert here. Receipts and expenditures of Kaiserswerth for the three years from 1885 to 1888: Year. Receipts. Expenses. 1885-1886 333,476 m. 74 pf. 331,812 m. 12 pf. 1886-1887 371,523 m. 46 pf. 370,626 m. 45 pf. 1887-1888 337,508 m. 14 pf. 492,384 m. 21 pf. In the year 1887-1888, the excess of expenses over receipts was caused by the construction of a new building, and special funds were contributed which more than met the deficit. Rev. F. Fliedner, the son of Pastor Fliedner further writes: "This does not include the expenses in the East and other foreign stations. In truth, about six hundred thousand marks pass yearly through our treasury." What an amount of good accomplished by the yearly expenditure of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars! INDEX.
