MINISTERING LEAGUE'S WORK FOR CHARITY
Difficult Year Reviewed At Annual Meeting
"I think that the year 1937 may be, on the whole, considered successful, and the League has reason to be gratified by the gener- ous response of the kind public to its appeals, Though I must say that I found it exceedingly irritating when I realised that, had we made another $95, we would have had a clear $10,000 to allocate to the various charities." said Mrs. T.
