Manual of bookkeeping for treasurers of foreign missions

Florence Hooper

Abstract

This brief Manual of Book-keeping for Treasurers of Foreign Missions has been prepared in response to a need apparent in the work of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church for a simple statement of accounting principles and practice which it shall be possible for a busy missionary in her scant leisure to master, and which shall prevent the errors which so often occur when the books of a mission are unscientifically kept. The manual makes no pretense to being exhaustive, but it seems, to the author, at least suggestive of most of the types of accounting problems which are likely to confront the mission treasurer.
