SUNDAY SCHOOL

There is now a well organised Sunday School, containing
two hundred scholars and ten teachers, for whom a Teacher's
Meeting is held every week.
........_

DAY SCHOOL

In the Day School there are about two hundred scholars
receiving a superior education, based upon sound Church
and Protestant principles. There are also thirteen Pupil
Teachers under training ; one of Mr. Cooke's objects being
to send forth a body of well trained teachers, and thus, in
some degree, however slight, contribute towards supplying
what is still so seriously required throughout our country.
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-
s- t' passer/ ' addresses and petitions adopted, and thus
the

.ions •••••••
the minds of the working classes soundly imbued with
principles of the reformation and the revolution, and aroused
, , firmness and

to the necessity of maintaining teem wiiu --
Christian energy.
DISTRICT VISITING AND TRACT DISTRIBUTION.
A great organisation has been formed to carry the Gospel
intn every family in the district. There are now nearly three

rorty•five c

thousand Tracts in circulation, am
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, nn expenditure has
been incurred of more than 1300, of which, however, more
than 1200 have actually been paid, leaving now the serious
amount of more than 180, 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-rooms paintedonaps,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 Ow who desire to come forward in the cause of Christ.
Dttriatnine 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 nnsearchable 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, fully to • proclaim
peace to the blood-bought family of the covenant Jehovah,
and blessed be His holy name, "He has not left himself
without witness," but has graciously accompanied the
ministration of His servant with the effectthival ministration of
His Holy Spirit—verily,doeth all ngs l." 'the
work is His, and He alone knows whether it is to continue to
be carried on here, or wheter once more all to become a
wilderness.—" Not by word,h nor by power, butis by my Spirit,
_ .

saith the Lora.
Those who desire to give to this Great Work, are requested
to do so direct, to the Rev. Henry Cooke, 3, Christian.street
North, Everton, Liverpool ; or nt St. Matthew's, Scotland-rood.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT HARPENDEN

Harpenden, June 16th, 1.854

Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in adding my testimony
to the value of your Fireproof Safes. Last Monday night my
house, warehouse, and premises were unfortunately burned
down. The fire raged very fearfully for about two hours,

and, owing to the great scarcity of water, the whole of my
premises and stock were consumed. The safe I purchased of
you had a most severe test, in consequence of a barrel of
brimstone standing close to it, and melting with the heat of
the fire, the burning lava running all over and under the safe,
which greatly added to the intensity of the heat. It remained
in that position about four hours, and when with great diffi-
culty it was got out of the fire and opened, I found my books
and papera all uninjured.
You are at liberty to make what use you please of this in-
formation.—l am, gentlemen, yours respectfully,
WM. WALKER.

UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO BROW-UP MILNERS'
" HOLDFAST" SAFE, AT BRISTOL.
__Bridge.parsd, Bristol, August stb 1854.
_ .

Gentlemc

-We have to inform yoli that last night our
premises were entered by burglars, who blew open the strong
iron door of our wall repository by means of gunpowder, in
which was placed the Milners Patent Holdfaat Safe you re-
cently supplied us with; this they got out and attempted to
blow open in the same manner, but without success. They
were well suppplied with picklocks, crowbars, &c., which are
now in possession of the police, but the safe was too strong
for all their efforts. We have much pleasure in bearing tes-
timony to the immense strength and security of Milners'
Holdfaat Safe, of which we have bad such convincing proof.—
We are, gentlemen, your obedient servants,
F. and J. AMORY.
