JOHN H. KIRKHAM, Trustee, Board of Ladies for Home Work, This board is composed of thirty ladies nominated by the standing committee and elected by the church, who serve for a term of four years. Thelr work consists of parish visita. tion, supplementing the work of the pastors, welcoming and extending the fellowship of the church to new com- ers, rendering any helpful ministry to those who are sick or are in need. Each visitor is provided with a list and is expected to call on each of these families at least once in three months and at the end of each month she sends a report of her calls to the sec- retary of the board giving informe- tion as to new-comers, changes in ad- dress, children for Sunday school, and bables for the cradle roll. The board meets with the ministers once quarterly on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and Decem- ber. Members of the congregation can assist the work of this Board by reporting to the visitor for their dis- trict any new neighbor, case of sick- ness, or opportunity for Christian ministry. Many people are found who sel- dom attend church, but they appre- ciate the calls of the visitors, and are glad to receive a Calcndar, and to be kept In touch with all that is going on in the church. The number of districts now num- ber twenty-six. In some instances, they have been reduced in size, in others two visitors are assigned. The number of calls reported for the year is 1,491, Report of Treasurer of Sunday School. RECEIPTS. Balance on hand Jan. 1, 1916.$ 14.06 Home Dept. 102.00 Chinese Dept.
