LT AL TREA URER REPORT In , ie\v f the fact that the enclosed tatement reflect only recorded ca h tran action , they cannot fully di close the critical nature f the ituation which confront u at thi time. Amounts pa) 1 able a of eptember 30th, totaled approximately $750. In– cluded 1n thi total ,, ere alarie due our tate Missionary and O.I.B. Editor for the last half of the month. Due 1 to tJhe shortage of ca h, their alaries weren't paid until October 1st. A review of our record reveals that we have, in fact, been perating ..in the red" for the past two years. The annual con– ference 1would eem to afford u a good opportunity to point out to our member churches how relatively small our needs are in proportion to the number of churches represented. In fact, if o n ly one-third of our churches would increase their budget by $5 a mon th, the need would be more than met. If You Can Help--- PLEASE DO!
