The Asylum Hill Congregational Society held its annual meeting at the Parish House this evening.

The treasurer, H. S. Conklin, reported that the Society had spent $17,600 during the previous year and that a small balance remained in the treasury.
The chair of the church decorations committee, Charles Welles Gross, reported on the work done on the church decorations last year.
The chair of the society’s committee of five, Lewis E. Gordon, reported on the church’s growth during the prior year:

Lewis Gordon anticipated that the parsonage would be ready for the Voorheeses to move in on September 1.
Gordon reported that the house on the Cummings property had been demolished and that the land would be used for tennis courts.

The church purchased 852 Asylum Avenue on December 29, 1913.

Work on the parsonage would be underway on May 28, 1914.

The church’s spending for the previous year is $458,434 in 2021.
The committee on church decorations was formed in 1912.
The bylaws of the church had been amended in 1912 in order to elect one new member of the Committee of Five each year instead of replacing all five at once at the end of their five-year terms.
