      Saturday , £ ind am thus enabled to arrange where I may preach on Sunday morning , and one or two weekday evenings , to the satisfaction and good feeling of all . Having received some tracts through one of the York booksellers , and unbound three

      volumes of tracts which I had by me , I clistnblltl ^^ they could be circulated . Up to this time your silent missionaries have been very beneficial . They laid the foundation of a District Tract Society which I have been able to put into operation , and which you may regard

      as the first practical proof that your attention to- this district may , with God ' s blessing , be truly beneficial . This infant society , which you may virtually regard as a tender but not unimportant branch of your associai * tiort , was organized at a meeting . ( of such of the friends in Malton and the

      district as were willing to forward its promotion ) held on the first Sabbath in May . I delivered before them two discourses ; the first intended to show that Unitarians are not Socinians , and the second on the character of Christ as the Saviour of the world . The friends who enrolled themselves

      members fixed on one penny per week to he the minimum of subscription , to be paid monthly into the hands of Mr . Geo . Kingston , Malton , treasurer ; and to be laid out , when the members shall deem the sum in hand sufficient , in the purchase of Unitarian books and tracts .

      It is gratifying to me to add , that on the Sabbath clay , when I am not present myself , the people frequently meet for conversation , and generally read , one a chapter in the Bible , art ' other a tract or sermon ; and had we a suitable form of prayer in print , think it would be generally employed by them on such occasions .,

      OBITUARY .

      * Jan . 3 , aged sixty-nine , John Scott , Esq ., of Stourbridge , in the county of Worcester , and Great Barr , in the county of Stafford . ' He was a brother of the late Rev . James Scott , of Cradley , whose fraternal regard prompted him to leave on record some biographical notices of those to whom he was most

      intimately joined by nature and affection . * " In speaking of his contemporary relatives , " Mr . James Scott employed " the past tense : ' and there is a painful interest in observing how soon it has become strictly appropriate to the second of the three brothers .

      That brother was distinguished by his firm consistency as a Protestant Dissenter . Warmly attached to the Presbyterian congregation in his native town , he uniformly endeavoured to advance its usefulness , credit , an 4
