The “Female Associations of Industry,” noticed in the former reports of this Committee, are still zealously engaged in promoting the interests of the Church; and their success, the past year, shows how much may be accomplished, with the blessing of God, by persevering efforts to do good. One of these Societies deserves to be particularly commended for having, by their labor, accomplished a work highly desirable in every Parish, the building of a Rectory, at an expense of $1500. This is mentioned not to disparage any where all have done well, but to encourage them not to despair of any thing which they may have in view for the benefit of their several Churches.
