sad he hoped to make it less by forming another
district church. Here he explained that the grants of
the society were not made to relieve the clergymen,
but for tho benefit of the people. He had a grant of
ERA, and had himself to aid £4O more and provide all
the expenses of the district m'ssion. lie described
how they took a disused cemetery chapel, repaired it,
hod to wire the windows all over to prevent the boys
breaking thom, and soon got crowded services, and also
had Bible elutes, mothers' meetingsand sewing *lasses.
A society in the west end of London raised fends to
give 61 for every three hours sewing done, and from it
at this missionthey sometimes took from £2O to £25
• week. So was the destitution of the district
relieved, and whilst the Women were sewing to the
number of 60. 80, or Ha, efforts were made to teach
them something of the Christian religion, sod many
things they could not otherwise have learnt as to the
management of their households: He a‘so spoke of a
