The Southwark Fund wee opened lathe year ISO, to supply, as far '
mita means extended, the spiritual and educational deficiencies of the
densely-thronged and ill-provided district on the south .itie of the
Thames The perishes of that part of the metropolis, haying a popula.
ties of nearly 320,1.00 mule, preempted church .sac-maroodauen for no
nogg than 40,000, and school provieran for less than 9,000. A great
abet was made to meet a destitution so fearful in itself, and so full of
