 could promise them only this, that we would do for them all that was
possible to us. The final result was that our workers--steadfast and
faithful--after having given their usual donations, squared accounts in
January by extra gifts amounting to $374.90. And while we are on this

RESOURCES: On hand last Report $49.95 Appropriation American Missionary
