  It 
  is 
  a 
  most 
  significant 
  fact 
  that 
  the 
  general 
  financial 
  strin- 
  

   gency 
  of 
  the 
  past 
  year 
  has 
  not 
  reduced 
  the 
  support 
  that 
  we 
  

   have 
  always 
  received 
  from 
  our 
  Members. 
  New 
  subscriptions 
  

   have 
  overcome 
  any 
  loss 
  that 
  was 
  sustained 
  and 
  we 
  are 
  glad 
  to 
  

   record 
  a 
  gain 
  in 
  the 
  income 
  from 
  membership 
  fees. 
  

  

  In 
  all, 
  166 
  new 
  members 
  were 
  enrolled, 
  giving 
  a 
  net 
  gain 
  

   of 
  24.
