PLAISTOW AND VICTORIA DOCK
MISSION.

The promoters of the above Mission wi I feel deeply grateful to
any Chrgymen who w.ll kindly advocate the claims of the tin-
portant cause they have undertaken, either in the pulpit or among
their friends. . _ _ •

spnere of the Mission is In a filthy town lately built and ra-
pidly extending, in an untrained swamp adjoining the Thames,
seven feet below high water mark. The poor inhabitants have con-
tributed most liberally of their penury, and it Is earnestly de•iired to
enlist the symJathy of the rich West towards this attempt to raise
the spiritual, social, and physical condition of their brethren in this
poor and neglected district, in the extreme East of London. The
Bishop is to select the Clergy.
Full particulars of the Mis,ion will thankfully be given (on appli-
cation) by the Rev. It. W. B. Marsh, Incumbent of Plaistow; the
Rev. Alfred W. Mason, Secretary, Stratford•green, E.; or ;by An-
tonio Brady, Esq., Treasurer, Maryland-point, Stratford, E.
