Board of Charities Reports Receipts and Expenditures.

The treasurer’s report herewith submitted is an accurate account of. the manner in which the sum put into the hands of the charity board by the good people of Rensselaer has been used. We do not begin to do all there is to be done, but ill we can do. We probably do not learn of all needy ones. How can we unless they are reported ? .We do none of the trustee’s work, only working to supplement him where the law hinders him from doing the needful thing. So far this winter we have been enabled to respond to every worthy call. The card parties in the fall were a great help. The Thanksgiving- donation markets, and individual gifts, making the sum total. ' * You have literally fed the hungry, clothed the naked, cared for the sick, and kept the cold, warm; fulfilling the scriptural injunction. Aside from this we have been able to find homes for the homeless, employment for those seeking it, advice for those in need of it, and helping in general.
