FREE ONCE MORE.
At the close of our fiscal year in 1887, we were enabled to utter the joyful word Free,
no debt darkening our balance sheet. Last year (1888) we were compelled to moderate our tone and say Not quite free,
for a balance of $5,641.21 stood on the wrong side of our ledger. But now, in the good providence of God, we can say Free once more.
Our receipts from all sources were $376,216.88; payments, including debt of last year, $371,745.21, leaving a credit balance of $4,471.67. For this good result we are in some measure indebted to legacies. But, under all circumstances, we rejoice in the past and look forward with hope to the future. The work we have in hand, with its grand results, as will be seen in the General Survey
published in this number of the MISSIONARY, will encourage our friends, and the call there made for growth and enlargement, will, we are sure, stimulate them to increased contributions and more earnest prayer. The Survey
will also contain a statement of the income and expenditure of the Hand Fund.
