STEWARDS’ REPORT

To (/1: Congregation of T rinily Uniled Church—

Your Committee of Stewards has to report that during the year ended 3lst, March, 1927, the temporal and financial affairs of the congregation have

received careful attention.

Fourteen meetings of the Committee have been held; and standing sub- committees, on property, janitor servnce, fuel, light, radio and advertising have kept an oversight of these several matters.

The buildings, heatin plant and other equipment have received necessary re airs, and the interior of eartz Memorial Hall, the chorr room and the social ha I have been redecorated. The property is well protected by fire insurance.

Under a contract with the Island Radio Company, the broadcasting of the Sunda services has been regularly maintained, save on a few occasions as pro- vided by arrangement with the Companv. This service has greatly enlarged the sphere of our church's influence, and has been much appreciated. Each week the ublic have been notified of the Sunday services by advertisement in the Satur ay editions of the daily papers.

Your Committee desires to record its sincere regret at the assing of Mr. Watson Seaman, who had served for many years as the faithfu and efiicient janitor of our church. Mr. Wm. I. Story has been appointed to the position thus rendered vacant.

A very close watch has been kept upon our finances and special efforts have been made to secure a steady flow of contributions. In this your Committee has had the loyal and generous support of the people, and has thus been enabled to carry on and meet all obligations without recourse to borrowing. This very satisfactory result is due to the increased use of the weekly envelope, supplemen- ted by the personal solicitation of many contributors who have not yet ado ted that s stem. The Stewards are grateful for the generous response made to Emir a pea s, but earnestly commend the weekly envelope method to every person wio feels an obligation to give financial support to the church. The adoption of this system by all contributors would place our finances on a firmer basis and make it much easier for the contributors themselves as well as for the Stewards to do their respective parts.

The total receipts including $439.44 balance on hand at the beginning of the year, were $11842.94; the total expenditures, $11548.ll; leaving a surplus to carry forward of $294.83.

The Treasurer’s statement hereto appended shows the income and ex- penditure in detail. Elsewhere in this Year Book are listed the names of sub- scribers and the amounts of their contributions.

All of which is respectfully submitted.
