The Secretary chosen at the last annual
meeting, finding it impossible for her to fill
that office, sent in her resignation in J unc
last, which was accepted, and Mrs. A. Fitch
was elected to fill the vacancy, and at the
close of the year it becomes her duty to give
you a report of the work done during the
year.
Three years of earnest labor for the Master
have quickly passed away, and as the Mas-
ter’s eye surveys the field, and the few labor-
ers toiling therein, could we hear His voice,
saying of each one, “She has done what she
could,” how it would gladden each heart and
give a new inspiration for future service.
We hear no audible voice speaking to us, but
to our hearts is given the sweet assurance
that the Master accepts, and blesses the el-
forts put forth in His name for the salvation
of those who have wandered far from their
Father’s house. 1
This report will differ from the one of last
year in this respect, no new enterprises have
been. commenced ; those already in operation
have been carried steadily forward. Last
year one who was to us a leader and guide
was called from the field of labor to her rest
and reward. Sadly have we missed her wise
counsels and Christ-like example through the
year.
This year we have to record the death of
two of our members; others have been kept
from active service by sickness, some have
removed to other Ride of labor, so we have
great need to “Pray the Lord of the Harvest
that be send forth more laborers into His
Harvest."
The number of devotional meetings held
during the year were two hundred and thir-
teen, forty more than was held last year.
The Monday and Wednesday evening meet-
ings have been well sustained,and the number
attending has varied from twenty to seventy-
:‘ive. In addition to these a Saturday even-
ing meeting was held for some weeks, which
was also well attended. The ladies' devo-
tional meeting, held Friday afternoon of each
week, though never largely attended, are sea-
sons of deep interest and of spiritual profit.
[‘he Sabbath afternoon services continue to
be held in Lockwood’s Hall, they are well
attended, and we have every reason to believe
that much good has resulted from them, both
to the class for whom we are praying and la-
boring,and tothc community in general. Some
have heard the message of salvation there
who do not enter the church of God. From
June 10th to September 9th these meetings
were held at the Amphitheatre Grounds, un-
der the auspices of the Reformed Men’s
Union, and were largely attended, and we
trust that much good resulted from them.
Some attended who never attend elsewhere,
and we may never know in this life the
amount of good done. ‘
Three Sabbath services were held at the
same place under the auspices of the Ladies’
Union, conducted by the ladies. Ten Sab-
batbs during the summer meetings were held
at Saugatuck, attended and conducted by
members of our Union. One evening meet-
ing held at Winnipauk was attended by mem-
bers from both Unions.
Two mass meetings have been held, two
lectures given. The number of business
meetings held during the year, twenty-two.
Over one hundred adults have signed the To—
tal Abstinence pledge, and ninety-one chil-
dren. The juvenile work is in a flourishing
condition, under the name of “The Cold
Water Army.” One hundred and six names
are registered, who are being taught both the
nature of alcohol, the evils of intemperance
and the better way of temperance and sobri-
This is a hopeful field from which we
' :ct much fruit.
» tore visits have been made among- the poop. c
than in any previous year. Food, fuel and
clothing have been supplied. Here I would
gratefully acknowledge the kindness and
liberality of the people in responding to the
calls made upon them for this cause. Some
neighborhood prayer meetings have been
held in these homes. On election an all day
prayer meeting was held. _ The first hour
was spent in prayer, “That the cause of Tem—
perance might triumph," and we believe that
in answer to prayer, and the united vote and
personal efforts of those who have been
saved from the power of strong drink, the
still pray and hope for, not only the suppres-
sion of this evil, but its extinction. While
such a volume of prayer is ascending daily
and hourly from all parts of our land for the
overthrow of this trafic, who can believe
that He who has promised to answer prayer,
will long permit this evil to exist.
Now, my dear sisters, as we pause a me-
nient, and survey the record of another year,
can we not gratefully and truthfully say,
“Thus far the Lord has led us on."
We have not seen so great results attending
our labor as we had hoped to see, but if only
one soul has been saved we should have been
amply rewarded for all the time and labor
spent in this service but it is given us to
know that many have been saved, and are
now enjoying the salvation God has provided
for them. '
The time for rest has not yet come. As we
commence another year let us consecrate
ourselves anew to God for this work, fully
preparing in His strength to “Be steadfast,
immovable, always abounding in the work of
the Lord, forasmuch as we know that our
labor is not in vain in the Lord.”

POLITICAL.
Senator Conklin has declared war, and be
locked arms with the President. It is 110‘
a war to the knife, and knife to the hilt. Th
President has determined upon the removr
of the ofiicials at New York, for the reuse
that the reforms already instituted were no
as he claims carried out in good faith. It,
true that several hundred employes of tlI
Custom House were removed by (Olllcti
Arthur, in accordance with the orders 0 ti .
Secretary of the Treasury. But it is cl time
that the men intended to be removed W€l .
the ones retained. That is, the politic
strikers and the ward politicians were kep
and the really effective workers who wel
without political influence were dismisseu
Senator Conkling on the other hand claiu
the right to control the patronage himsel
and denies the right of the President to me:
dle with it. The city is divided on the que
tion. The active politicians side with Coni
ling, and the conservative element with tl
President. The papers of the city are vei
careful in discussing the question, and arei ~
no means pronounced. There should be I
expression of the people on the question, i
every County and State, for the people w?
have to settle it. It is a matter of no sms
importance. The question goes a long w:
down. It is not simply who shall fill tl 4
offices; it is the effect of the patronage upt
the politics of the State.
