4. THE FINANCES. Our expenditures have been: For salaries of workers, $6,403.00; for rents of mission houses, $2,066.00; for incidental expenses, $1,150.15; total, $9,619.75. Our resources have been: From the parent society, $6,100; balance from previous year, $45.50; offerings made through the treasury of this auxiliary, $2,590.80; total, $8,736.30. This leaves a deficit of $882.85, a part of which can be met from our Permanent Property Account, but fully $500.00 needs yet to be secured if we are to provide things honest in the sight of all men. Thus far in the history of our mission, the account of no year has closed with the blot of a deficit upon it. The account of the year just ended is held open for awhile in the hope that the good precedent of the past may be still maintained. And, oh, if we might be a little less hampered by poverty;--if we might be set free to enter opened doors, and to make the most possible of our opportunities, how great would be the privilege and joy of showing in blessed experiment that the truest economy is a wise and careful generosity.
