OUR YEAR'S SERVICE Summing up for the fiscal year now ending, it will be seen, and our members may be assured, that quite largely the Association's business and service to members has continued as usual. Noteworthy are these facts and conditions in their relation to business conditions generally during 19-9-1930. The needs of our members both for loans and for withdrawals, the latter larger than usual principally be cause of interest in other local investments, have been promptly met. Our dividend rates have continued at 5f on Invest ment and G'i on Monthly Payment shares, believed to be the highest consistent with security in loans and invest ments ; and at these rates during the year we have dis tributed to members $83,051.14. Most gratifying, however, is the substantial increase botli in number and aggregate amount of savings ac counts of members, making provision, as they do, from current income against future needs.

There he encountered some of the most un fortunate of all people, the epileptics, and there was born in his soul a passion to do something fcr them. When he accepted a call to become pastor of the Bethphage church r.t Axtell the plan took form immed iately. When the train which brought the family of the minister to their new home was drawing into the station, the future founder of the mission pointed to a piece of land north of the tracks and said o his wife, "There the institution going to be." And there it is a tribute to his inspiration and energy lent means of transportation for this young lady. ; The Weeping Water band waS present and furnished the music at the dedication of the Grotto on Pun day, furnishing excellent music.
