in these amounts having being sent, through not
making it fully plain to you. With this I take
pleasure in forwarding to you the Statistical report
for the year ending Jany 31^st 1888 by which you
will see an addition of nine branches, and two
new districts. At our Conference, the Wairarapa
district was devided into two, making twelve districts
or Conferences in the mission; 343 have been added
to the Church by baptism, and 163 children blessed,
making an increase of 506. Since January 31^st there
has been over 100 more added to the Church, and
the prospects for the future are very flattering in-
deed, especially in the North.
