Excerpt from Forty-Seventh Annual Report of the Board of Publication of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America: Presented to the General Assembly at Its Meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio, May 1885 Other statements show more in detail the assets and liabilities, the profits and expenses, sales, circulation of periodicals, profits and losses on periodicals, and the business of St. Louis and Chicago depositories. Separated from the general accounts. Whatever deficiencies there may have been heretofore in the matter of exhibiting the business. The Board certainly cannot be charged with any want of zeal this year in furnishing figures for the enlightenment of the Assembly for not only have they furnished the statements above mentioned, but they have brought the Business Superintendent here to explain them and to give information in any other matters connected with the business management into which the committee or the Assembly might wish to inquire.
