GENERAL DIOCESAN FUND.

The accompanying table shows the number of subscribers and the amounts received for the year ending 31st March ,1927. , . ; The total amount received was £300 more than the total for the previous year. It is satisfactory to note that the debt on St. Mary's Home Eebuilding was reduced during the year by £1032 12s. This amount includes a- legacy of £500 from the late Mr. James Bell. Owing to unavoidably increased expenditure the Debit Balance increased from £776 to £1138. It will therefore be seen that the Diocese is m urgent need of increased support ior its work. The number of Subscribers increased from 201 to 374, there being 62 new Subscribers and 144 old Subscribers who renewed their subscriptions. ■ Considering 'the financial stringency which is general throughout the country the results of the year's working may be' taken as fairly satisfactory.
