When the Seamen's Mission was re-established Inst year, the Committee started without any funds." About half the number of the former supporters of the Mis. sion, however, willingly continued their assistance, while the rest refused, Most of the furniture and effects were recovered without difficulty, and houses 63-4 Tiendong road were taken over from the Coffee House and Reading Room Committee at a rental of ten dollars a month, Through the kindness of Mr. J. Borcher, we were able to purchase a harmonium for twenty dollars, about half the price it originally cost him, while Mr. L. J. Day contributed ten dollars towards the improved lighting of the meeting room, as the old loups were very unsatisfactory. Gas was laid on at a cost of $42.30. Owing to the hot weather, we had to purchase two punkahs costing $15, and as the room and. signboards wanted re-painting, we had this done which absorbed $8. This expenditure will not be necessary again fur a long time, sv we hope to nave a large- balance in the bank atthe end of the next financial year. It will be seen from the statement of accounts that the income has amounted to $341.56 and the expenditure to $296.53, leaving a balance in hand of $45.03, J5th August, 1891.
