FINAL
REPORT.
The publication of “Lessons for the Day” having ceased,
the Committee have to present their Final Report, Financial
Statement, and Balance Sheet, and to thank the Subscribers
to the Guarantee Fund, without whose assistance the experi
ment could not have been made. The result, even from a
financial point of view, appears to us to be quite sufficient to
justify the course adopted, and but for Mr. Conway's intention,
as intimated twelve months ago, to terminate the series at the
end of six months, and his final determination to close it
at the end of the year, it would no doubt have been still
better, as greater efforts might have been made to push
the sale, and further expenditure incurred with the same
object, which under the circumstances could not properly
be done.
�2
It is important, however, to remember, that the under
taking was not set on foot with the idea of making profits,
but rather as a means of diffusing more generally the
moral teaching which the Members of South Place
Religious Society value so highly ; and looking to what
has been accomplished in this direction, the Committee
feel that their efforts have by no means been in vain.
More than 140,000 copies of “ Lessons for the Day” have
been distributed, and several instances have come to our
knowledge in which they have been publicly read from the
pulpit or platform, whilst in others they have been the
means of exciting useful discussion in newspapers. It need
hardly be said that no reluctance on the part of the
Committee to carry on the work led to its cessation, but
as Mr. Conway found himself unable to continue it, they
could do nothing but acquiesce with regret in his decision.
It will be seen from the Balance Sheet, that there is an
outstanding debt due to the Treasurer of £64 i/s. 3d.,
whilst the assets consist of stock in hand amounting, at the
lowest trade price, less 10 per cent., to ^124 4s. od.
These assets we propose handing to the General Com
mittee on their taking over the liability to the Treasurer.
An offer has been received from a bookseller in the
North of England to purchase the entire stock, but
we think it would be more in accordance with the wishes
of the Society that it should be in the hands of the Com
mittee. If half the Stock be sold at the full price for
single copies, which is not an unfair assumption, the total
value will amount to £172 14s. 6d., so that the margin is
sufficiently large to obviate the risk of any appreciable
loss.
