SOUTHAMPTON, ENGLAND.

FINANCIAL REPORT.

Our people in America, who are using their means in establishing the English Mission, may be interested to learn its financial standing.

The expense of holding meetings in the tent and in halls was $129.80. Of this sum, $75.02 was paid in donations.

To Feb. 11, 1880, the expense for rent and fitting up of Ravenswood will be $177.39. Toward this, there has been received for rent of tenements, and as donations, $160.67. Of this sum, the donations were $80.86. The rents still to be collected, and our usual weekly contributions, will clear this, and leave a slight balance in the treasury.

Of the cost of tent and fixtures, $611.41, the sum of $151.89 was donated here. Of the expense of mailing Signs and other reading matter, which has been $149.93, $114.03 has been paid here.

So it will be seen that, although, with the exception of some few donations of provision, nothing has been done here toward supporting the missionaries, yet some proof has been given of the sincerity of the faith of those who have espoused the cause. We hope for still more in the future, as the influence of the truth extends.

I would state that during the year I have held two hundred and fifty-five meetings, the first one being held one year ago to-night. J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH.
