I shall now say a few words of the three ministers , with whom I am acquainted , in the order in which they are mentioned in the memorial . Mr . John Ashworth , resident at New-churchy was a local preacher amongst the Wesleyan Methodists , and expelled for heresy . He has never received more and often less than 1 ( M . per annum for his ministerial services . He is a clothier , a manufacturer of hlankets and coarse woollens . He made use of a contrivance to suspend a book before him at the loom , so that he could read and weave at the same time . Jn this way lie read Stackliouse ' s History of the Bible . Mr . James Taylor resides near * Rochdale . He is a fuller and cloth-dresser . He has , from conscientious motives , always declined receiving- any thing- whatsoever for his services . Mr . J . Ash worth and Mr . J . Taylor were local preachers in connexion with Mt . Cooke , after his expulsion from the Methodists . Mr . James Wilkinson , who begfan to preach soon after Mr . Cooke ' s

death , is a shoemaker in Rochdale . I understand he has never received more ( and perhaps generally much less ) than 5 / . per annum . He has a wife and three little children . Such are the men to whose disinterested labours the Unitarians in tie district of which I have been speaking , are so much indebted . I have had opportunities of hearing- these preachers , and I bear cny willing- testimony of approbation of their services . They speak without notes . Their services are scriptural , pla | n » pious and edifying- ; and I consider both the nninisters and their services as w « H adapted to spread the knowledge of Unitarianism amongst the middle and lower classes of society . I trust that these facts are sufficient to prove that the T i ) itaria » s , as a body , are much indebted to these men . I trust that these facts will int «^ the liberal and the affluent in that body to lend a helping hand in « ksuening or " ^" moving altogether , the peuniary w » c brances on the Rosseadale ohap d .
