·The LOCAL SECRETARY* reports that the sum of $350 has been
raised by means of sundry entertainments during the past win.ter, and paid, through the Woman's Auxiliary, to the Indian
Commission, for the erection of a chapel at the Cheyenne Agency.
Also that $150 has been collected and forwarded, through the
same; to the Domestic Committee of the Board of Missions, for
six months' stipend of the Rev. A. P. Peabody, a missionary in
the Diocese of Wisconsin.
The total contributions through this Society, for the year, have
therefore been $720.36.
*As this has been the first year during which this Society has been connected with the Woman's Auxiliary, (the organization of women of the church
which was established under the authori~y of the General Board of Missions
in 1871 ) it may be well to append the res.o lution under which the connexion ·
has been formed. It was adopted Nov. 7, 1872, as follows: Resolved, That
the Missionary Sewing Society of St. J ohn's Church will work as a part of the
Woman's Association Auxiliary to the Board of Missions of the Protestant

FAIRFH:LD COUNTY INDIAN AID SOCIETY.
A number of
ladies of Fairfield County met at Southport on the 31st of }vfarch,
and formed themselves into a Society for aiding Indian Missions.
It consists of all persons who shall contribute not less than One
Dollar annually to its funds. I ts officers include twp managers,
annually appointed, from each parish, who meet when s.ummoned to do so. It is recommended to the ladies of this parish,
as a prnctical way of carrying out tl1is work, to contribute
Twenty-five Cents quarterly, through the collectors for the
Woman?s Auxiliary, for Indian Missirn~s.
citizens, and those who have had the management of it know, better than any one else, how useful a~ agency for the mental and
moral improvement of many young men has been withdrawn
from its work in this community.
This will be nlaced in the Library Room of the Chapel, and a
catalogue printed, including also the books in the Sunday-school
Library, and those in the Lloyd Library. The Lloyd Library,
founded by Henry Lloyd, A. D. I 795, for the use of the rector
and parishioners, contains many valuable books, chiefly theological and historical, which may he had on application to the Rector.
These librari es may be made much more useful than they have
heen, and donations for their improvement will be carefully applied.
The Pnrish and Sunday-school Libraries will be open after
Evening Prayer on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
THE CHURCH READING ROOM AND LIBRARY
has been discontinued for the present. It was found that the
donations and subscriptions for its support were not adequate
to keep it in really efficient working order, and the Committee
were unanimous that it was better to close it than to let it run
down. It was closed, therefore, November 1st, and the books
&c., divided between the two parishes in a general proportion to
the expense which had been borne by each. Since its discontinuance, many regrets have been expressed by parishioners. and
' •
THE female members of the congregation are earnestly invited
to become members of the Charitable Society, for the assistan ce
of the poor in our own parish, and of the Missionary Sewin g
Society, which is working, in various ways, to aid the missionaries of the Church. If they will turn once more to the pages
on which are found the necessary information in regard to the
purposes and methods of these two Societies, they will then be
able to decide whether they can and ought, in addition to their
individual charities, to sustain these organized ·charities of their
parish, an d enable them to enlarge their usefulness.

And on the rnth of March, r872, it was, further Ke.rolved, (1) That the
Treasurer and the Local Secretary n om inate, with the approval of the Rector, so many coUectors as may be neces:;ary t o secure monthly co11trib11tions

·The LOCAL SECRETARY* reports that the sum of $350 has been
raised by means of sundry entertainments during the past win.ter, and paid, through the Woman's Auxiliary, to the Indian
Commission, for the erection of a chapel at the Cheyenne Agency.
Also that $150 has been collected and forwarded, through the
same; to the Domestic Committee of the Board of Missions, for
six months' stipend of the Rev. A. P. Peabody, a missionary in
the Diocese of Wisconsin.
The total contributions through this Society, for the year, have
therefore been $720.36.
*As this has been the first year during which this Society has been connected with the Woman's Auxiliary, (the organization of women of the church
which was established under the authori~y of the General Board of Missions
in 1871 ) it may be well to append the res.o lution under which the connexion ·
has been formed. It was adopted Nov. 7, 1872, as follows: Resolved, That
the Missionary Sewing Society of St. J ohn's Church will work as a part of the
Woman's Association Auxiliary to the Board of Missions of the Protestant

FAIRFH:LD COUNTY INDIAN AID SOCIETY.
A number of
ladies of Fairfield County met at Southport on the 31st of }vfarch,
and formed themselves into a Society for aiding Indian Missions.
It consists of all persons who shall contribute not less than One
Dollar annually to its funds. I ts officers include twp managers,
annually appointed, from each parish, who meet when s.ummoned to do so. It is recommended to the ladies of this parish,
as a prnctical way of carrying out tl1is work, to contribute
Twenty-five Cents quarterly, through the collectors for the
Woman?s Auxiliary, for Indian Missirn~s.
citizens, and those who have had the management of it know, better than any one else, how useful a~ agency for the mental and
moral improvement of many young men has been withdrawn
from its work in this community.
This will be nlaced in the Library Room of the Chapel, and a
catalogue printed, including also the books in the Sunday-school
Library, and those in the Lloyd Library. The Lloyd Library,
founded by Henry Lloyd, A. D. I 795, for the use of the rector
and parishioners, contains many valuable books, chiefly theological and historical, which may he had on application to the Rector.
These librari es may be made much more useful than they have
heen, and donations for their improvement will be carefully applied.
The Pnrish and Sunday-school Libraries will be open after
Evening Prayer on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
THE CHURCH READING ROOM AND LIBRARY
has been discontinued for the present. It was found that the
donations and subscriptions for its support were not adequate
to keep it in really efficient working order, and the Committee
were unanimous that it was better to close it than to let it run
down. It was closed, therefore, November 1st, and the books
&c., divided between the two parishes in a general proportion to
the expense which had been borne by each. Since its discontinuance, many regrets have been expressed by parishioners. and

THE female members of the congregation are earnestly invited
to become members of the Charitable Society, for the assistan ce
of the poor in our own parish, and of the Missionary Sewin g
Society, which is working, in various ways, to aid the missionaries of the Church. If they will turn once more to the pages
on which are found the necessary information in regard to the
purposes and methods of these two Societies, they will then be
able to decide whether they can and ought, in addition to their
individual charities, to sustain these organized ·charities of their
parish, an d enable them to enlarge their usefulness.
