THE PRESBYTERU
are recommended by the Presbyteries,
and who need aid, in preparing1 for the
ministry of our church. To hold before
the youth of our church the claims of
the Gospel ministry by means of suitable
literature and by sermons and
addresses at churches, schools and colleges.
To keep the church reminded
of her duty to obey the Master's command,
"Pray ye therefore the Lord of
the harvest that he will send forth ,
laborers Into his harvest." To arouse
the Synods to a deeper sense of re
sponsibility for the students in State
institutions of learning.
(2) The Progress: During the year
applications for 277 candidates for the
ministry were approved by the Presbyteries
and forwarded to our Committee.
The maximum amount of aid has been
$100 a year for each candidate who
needed that amount, but on account of
the large increase in the number of
candidates and the small increase or
decrease in the amount of offerings for
this work, it has been necessary to
scale this amount for the past two
years.
Remember the church needs the lives
of her boys and young men in the work
of the ministry, and some of those who
are now looking forward to entering
this work need money to complete their
preparation.
2. .Ministerial ltelief (formerly "Invalid
Fund").
(1) The Scope: To provide for the
aged and infirm ministers who have
worn themselves out with self-denying
toil in the mission fields of the church.
To assist the needy widows, and the
little, helpless, children of deceased
ministers.
(2) The Progress: During the year
aid has been granted to 59 ministers;
150 widows, and 13 orphans without
either father or mother. In these 222
afflicted homes of o,ur Presibtyterian
ministers are many invalids, besides
71 little fatherless children under 14
years of age?36 of whom are not yet
10 years old.
The amount of assistance rendered
is conditioned upon (a) the need, (b)
the service rendered, (c) the number
dependent, and (d) the other sources
ui Duppuri. i ue average age or me
ministers on the roll is sixty-eight
years, and they have given an average
term of service to our church of 36
years. Altogether, the ministers on the
rolls, and the husbands of the widows,
rendered 2121 years of service to Christ
in the ministry of our church. The
average assistance to each family was
$153 per annum?or about forty-three
cents a day.
3. The Assembly's Home and School.
(1) The Scope: Its benefits are for
the children of deceased ministers and
children of living missionaries on the
foreign fields, or to the Indians. It
supplements the amount given these berohvo/1

and the amount given by the latter
committee for the education of the
children of foreign missionaries.

fifty-seven children, ranging in age
from six to twenty-two years, at the
Home and School. Of these twentythree
are between the ages of six and
fourteen years, and thirty-four between
fifteen and twenty-two years.
Eight of these children are cared for
at "Scotia." our home for boys, five at
the girls' dormitory, and forty-four are
boarded with sixteen mothers in their
own homes. Three of the children have
neither father nor mother living.
Seven are children of four of our lato
missionaries, two in Brazil, and one
ouph in Phlnu nnri k'nron rpvpti pro tho
children of living missionaries, from
Korea, Japan and Brazil.
Twenty-one of these children (eight
boys and thirteen girls), are in the
college department. Nineteen children
(eleven boys and eight girls), are ;n
the preparatory. Seventeen children
(twelve boys and five girls), are in the
primaiy. In addition to these there are
enrolled from the town and surrounding
territory twenty-nine pay pupils 'n
college; twenty-five in the preparatory
and twenty-five in the primary. Not
included in the above are thirty pupils
In the music and art departments.
The college property, purchased
January 1, i?iu, at a cost or *is,wu,
still carries a mortgage of $10,940.
More than $20,000 a year is needed to
conduct this work, and during the past
year we have been compelled to bor.
row heavily at bank to meet the expenses.
4. Schools and Colleges.
(1) The Scope: To disseminate information
and advance the interests of
Christian education within the bounds
of our church. To foster a system of
schools and colleges for our church.
To erect a Schools and College Loan
Fund to aid our worthy young ladies
and young men in securing an education.
(2) The Progress: The money contributed
to this cause is used to cover
the expenses of administering the work
under the snecial charee of the Secre
tary, Rev. Wm. E. Boggs, D. D.
The Ivoan Fund is being raised from
special offerings and by securing "Memorial
Scholarships" of $400 each.
Ix>ans of $100 a year for a period of
four years are made to our young people
of approved character who are
studying in our Presbyterian colleges
and who "desire a higher education, not
wholly for self-advancement, but also
for greater Christian usefulness."
Ix>ans from this fund are not made to
those who are receiving aid either as a
gift or a loan from the funds of Education
for the Ministry. We have now in
the "Schools and College Loan Fund"
more than $6,500, from which loans
have been made during the past year
to nine boys and four girls of approved
character.

Relief.
(1) The Scope: Because the annual
offerings of the membership have never
been adequate to meet the needs of our
enfeebled veterans and the needy widows
and orphans of our dead, the Assembly
has directed that an Endowment
Fund be raised. It 1b a permanent, Invested
fund, the Interest of which Is
used to meet the present needs In the
work of Ministerial Relief.
(2) The Progress: In this endowment
Is now more than $300,000 safely
Invested. The General Assembly "urges
that it be made at least $600,000 as soon
as possible and commends It to our
people of means for their gifts and
legacies." Provision has been made
for holding "Memorial Funds" in this
endowment which are reported annual\NO

ly. Eleven such funds bar# bean
erected. What more fitting method of
perpetuating the memory of loved
ones! Have you remembered this
sacred cause in your will?
The Endowment Fund does not Bhare
in the division of the funds remitted for
"Christian Education and Ministerial
Relief," but the last Assembly adopted
this resolution, "That the continuing In.
terest of our churches be called for In
behalf of the Endowment Fund of Ministerial
Relief," and we trust this same,
business-like work will not be overlooked.
The Funds Needed.
The following schedule was authorized
by the LouiBvllle Assembly: Foreign
Missions, $550,000, or 60 per cent.;
'Homo Missions, $190,000, or 21 per
cent.; Christian Eucation and Ministerial
Relief, $129,000, or 14 per cent.;
Publication and Sabbath Schools, $30,000,
or 4 per cent.; Bible Society, $10.000,
or 1 per cent. This was announced
as the lowest and most conservative
estimate of the church's needs and because
it was not contributed, our progress
was impeded last year.
During the past year the monev con
trlbuted to this Executive Committee
was divided as follows: For Education
for the Ministry, one-third; for Ministerial
Relief, one-half; for Assembly's
Home and School, one tenth; for
Schools and Colleges, one-fifteenth. It
is very probable that a slight change
may be made in this ratio this year.
The offering may be made for all departments
of our work and divided according
to the direction of the General
Assembly, or it may be made to either
of the above causes, or to the Schools
and Colleges Ix>an Fund, or to the Endowment
Fund of Ministerial Relief.

The charity that begins at home is a
good thing, and it is a better thing
when it extends beyond the home. But
why do these people not cultivate for
home njoyment as well as for public
exhibition, self-control. courtesy,

A Swift Transformation Briefly Described.
About food, the following brief but
emphatic letter from a Georgia woman
goes straight to th point and is convincing.
"My frequent attacks of indigestion
and palpitation of the heart culminated
in a sudden and desperate illness, from
which I arose enfeebled in mind and
body. The doctor advised me to live on
Cereals, but nOTlP nf thorn mrroo/l
me until I tried Grape-Nuts food and
Postum.
"The more I used of them the more I
felt convinced that they were just what
I needed, and in a short time they made
a different woman of me. My stomach
and heart troubles disappeared as if by
magic, and my mind was restored and
is as clear as it ever was.
"I gained flesh and strength so rapidly
that my friends were astonished.
Postum and Grape-Nuts have benefited
me so greatly that I am glad to bear
this testimony." . Name given by Postum
