Boston, Mass., September, 1909. FRANK H. WIGGIN, Treasurer. BOSTON, October 6, 1909. We have employed Robert J. Dysart, expert accountant, who has examined the books and accounts of FRANK H. WIGGIN, Treasurer of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions for the year ending August 31, 1909, who reports them correct. His statement we herewith submit as a part of this report. We have examined the certificates of Stocks, Bonds, and other Securities held by the Treasurer, representing the Investments of the several Funds of the Board, and find them to correspond with the Balance Sheet of August 31, 1909, and with the detailed statements of the books of the Board in which these Funds are entered. The Treasurer's Bond, duly approved, was exhibited by the chairman of the Prudential Committee. DEAR SIR: I beg to advise that I have examined the books of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions for the year ended August 31, 1909, and have the honor herewith to certify to the accuracy of the accounts as disclosed in the final statement, with a balance of $35,585.38 standing to the debit of the Board. In the course of my examination I have covered thoroughly all points dealing directly with the receipt and disbursement of money, and have verified in detail the postings, footings, cross entries, etc., of the general ledger, as well as of the books of original entry. I have proved and counted the cash balance in safe and on deposit at the several banks, and have also made an extended and careful inspection of the vouchers covering the disbursements of the year. Your Committee as usual having examined the certificates of stock, bonds, and other securities held by the Treasurer representing the investments standing on the debit side of the balance sheet renders, as in previous years, an examination of those securities by me unnecessary. It gives me pleasure to state that the work in connection with the books and documents of the Board has been faithfully performed. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT J. DYSART, Special Examiner. 1 The donations for Mission Work for Women (excepting those from the Woman's Board for the Pacific) are taken from Life and Light, and differ somewhat from amounts in the Herald.
