It will be noted that the total subscriptions in the United States have remained 
about the same in 1923 as in 1922 while the foreign have increased substantially. 
If it had not been for the decided increase in foreign subscriptions during the past 
year the totals would have shown a decrease, and if foreign countries can make such a 
showing under present conditions abroad it would seem as though there is still a fair 
chance to do likewise at home. 
I wish to thank all leaders in the various States and in the Provinces of Canada for 
their continued cooperation and help and ask that they continue with renewed 
interest for 1924. Respectfully submitted, 
C. W. Collins, Circulation Agent. 
Voted that the report be accepted. 
President A. G. Ruggles : I will now read the report of the Executive 
Committee.
