made the jubilee the subject of a very earnest prayer in
his congregation.
At Birkenhead, special services took place on Wednes-
day in the various churches in the morning, and in the
evening a meeting was held in the Craven-rooms, at
which the Rev. Andrew Knox presided, when the benefit
conferred on the heathen by the society, since its esta-
blishment, were vividly brought before the assembly.
On Wednesday morning the sacrament of the Lord's
Supper was administered in many of the churches of this
town, and in the evening prayer meetings were held to
supplicate the divine blessing on the labours of the
society. On Thursday evening sermons were preached in
nearly all our churches, the services being postponed
from the previous day, in consdquence of the municipal
elections then taking place.
