MISCELLANEOUS. 205 estimates them at $5,000 a year on an average, for the first five years, ending about tiie date of Dr. Stiles' resignation. By way of offset, he received out of the slip rents (and there was no other revenue) an average of $300 or $400 per annum. The first annual report of the Treasurer of the Society covered the year ending Nov. 1, 1858. The receipts and expenditures of the Society during that and each sub- sequent year, ending Nov. 1st, were, according to the Treas- urer's reports, as follows : Year ending Nov. 1, Due Treasurer, RECEIPTS. EXPENDITURES. 1859 82,127 71 $2,127 71 1860 2,309 13 2,229 30 1861 2,325 80 2,320 94 1862 1,706 09 1,704 79 1863 2,788 40 2,799 31 1864 2,708 90 2,768 87 16,219 77 16,279 74 59 97 $16,279 74 From the first, a large part of the receipts have been derived from voluntary contributions made by members of the Church and congregation ; the rent of slips being low, — highest $25, lowest S2, — to bring them within the means of persons in moderate circumstances. No assistance to- wards the support of public worship, has ever been asked or received from persons not belonging to flie Church or congregation. It should be remarked, however, that under the ministry of Dr. Stiles, (and the same is true at present,) several families rented slips, and occupied them a part of the time, who belonged to other Churches. This explains the fact, that the revenue from slips was larger during the first two years after the formation of the Church, when Dr. Stiles was preaching his great sermons, than it has been at any period since. For the current year it will probably be larger than under Dr. Stiles' ministry. During the whole period of twelve years, ending 1st of November last, the average rent from slips has been about S500 per annum.
