THE PLAISTOW MISSION.

TO TIM I:DtTOS 07 TIM =PRIM
811,--I beg you will accept my grateful ac-
knowledgments for the n-tioe of the Plaistow mission,
which appears in your impression of this day. I presume
your facts were Uken from the journal o the London
Dioossan Church Boddie/ Society, entitled " Church Work
amongst the Nuess." I am deeply indebted to the Dio-
cesan Society, which from the first has largely helped
the
mission. Herewith is an appeal lam now soothes oat,
from which you will perceive that secs the article we.
written which you have been DO kind se to =eke my I
appeals for help dare been so liberally respeaded to that 11
have already obtained all the money necessary for the Weis
of the church, which will have 1,029 mintage all free. We
did not at first contemplate a spire for lack of foods, but
three of the miecepsl subscribers to the church wish this
"silent heaven directing monitor" proceeded with at the
some time. Towards this object they have contributed
2501., or half the =oast required. This is in oddities to
their magoificeot subscription of 1.8251. towards the
church, so that 2501. only now remain to be collected tinder
this head. I have also ensued an organ food, but this is a
luxtu7 for which we may perhaps be compelled to wait.
Unfortunately the FoileeimUiel Commissiouers have de.
aided (I amok unwisely) that they mineot endow the district,
containieg 7,097 parsecs, until the church is conseerAted,
though the cdergymaa must live in the meantime. lam
therefore compelled to appeal for help once more to en.'
able the minion to keep up its present machinery of church
schools, he., for one year, whoa it is hoped to hand over the
whole work to the appointed minister. For these absolutely
seesenary current expenses I bare s trilling balance in heed,
and only comparatively a very small sum is required to
complete the work uedertalso by the mission eight years
ago —a glorious example of the expeller* power of the
church to provide for the manes accumulating arouud new
centres of commerce, This is not by any means the first
time I have received the geoereus aid of the Express,
sad I shall be grateful if you will allow this
in explanation of
the present state of the mission to appear your wideg
circulated columns so soon as your space will permit. Wi
every acknowledgment for peat favours. I am. he.,
