Institutional Report

Table No. 3.

There is given below a condensed report regarding the institutions of the denomination, covering the three main lines of work carried on by institutional effort; namely, publishing houses, educational institutions, and sanitariums. The report, although brief, will indicate quite fully the present standing of each of these lines of work, showing the approximate number of persons engaged in each branch, the value of resources employed, as well as other items of general interest to the reader. By reference to other portions of this report, especially the grand totals of Table No. 1, it will be observed that the growth of educational institutions has been at a very much more rapid rate than the growth in most other lines of work. The increase of publishing houses and sanitariums during recent years has been at the same ratio, and even greater in the latter instance.
