SCIENTIFIC INSTRUCTION

A Scientific Lecture is delivered every second Tuesday
evening, in which the connexion which exists between all
science and the true knowledge of the Great Creator is
shown, and thus a barrier is erected against the insidious
advances of infidelity.
ROMISH CONTROVERSY.
A Controversial Lecture is delivered about once a fortnight

PROTESTANT ORGANIZATION.
A Protestant Association has been established, the meet-
ings of which are well attended. Addresses are delivered on
the great religious and social questions of the day, resolu-
tions passed, and addresses and petitions adopted, and thus
the minds of the workin?,,classes soundly imbued with the
principles of the reformation and the revolution, and aroused
to the necessity of maintaining them with firmness and
Christian energy.
DISTRICT VISITING AND TRACE DISTRIBUTION.
A great organisation has been formed to carry the Gospel
into every family in the district. There are now nearly three
thousand Tracts in circulation, and forty-five distributors
engaged in this great and glorious work.
• It is not to be supposed that all these things could be accom-
plished without heavy expense. Notwithstanding every
exertion to secure a judicious economy, an expenditure has
been incurred of more than .1300, of which, however, more
than .€2OO have actually been paid, leaving now the serious
amount of more than £BO, pressing. In reference to this
entire expenditure, it is necessary to observe that when Mr.
Cooke undertook the charge, everything had to be done ;—the
Church and School-rooms cleaned the first time for years,
School.roomspainted,maps,books, and other school requisites
provided ; salaries for Teachers provided, the school receiving
no grant from Government or other source.
Under these circumstances, Mr. Cooke now makes an appeal
to those who desire to come forward in the cause of Christ.
During nine months has he laboured, uncheered by sympathy.
and totally destitute of the aid or counsel of the affluent and
influential. The opposition he has encountered from open
opponents, and still more from alleged friends, has been
most violent and afflicting ;—" Nevertheless the found-
ation standeth sure." By the grace of God he has been
enabled to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ—even a
full, free, present, and everlasting salvation, through the
finished work of Emmanuel ; and, notwithstanding the many
corruptions of the Gospel in this our day.
