    a list of several tradesmen belonging to , or who are the usual attendants at the different places of Unitarian worship , within the limits of the Society ; it was stated that much good would in all probability arise if this plan was to be adopted . As for instance , if we have a child or children to place out as apprentices or servants , by a reference to this list , it , would be seen if there were any in the connection of the same

    business or profession as that we had fixed on , so that an application may be made without loss of time ; besides which , it is of importance to place young persons in the families of those whose

    religious sentiments we approve of ; so again , on the other hand , if we are in want of a servant , or an apprentice , by a like reference we are in the way to be suited , and it ought to be the wish of all to have , as far as possible , those only under our roof who will attend

    with us on the Sabbath . Again * if we want either to engage in any particular branch of business , or have at concern to dispose of , the above plan affords us an opportunity of inquiry suitable to the circumstances in which we are

    placed , and surely it is of importance to part with our trade , &c . to those , and those only , who are likely to fill up our places in the Society to which we belong , or add to its

    members , and also to go ourselves into a place where we may meet with persons whose company , &c . we prefer . The other plan was , that whenever we have occasion to insert advertisements in the public prints , we by all means prefer sending them to you , Sir , for insertion on the cover of the Monthly Repository , as by that means they will have a wide circulation , and particularly amongst our brethren of the Unitarian

    class . Much good has been , and there is reason to believe may be effected to our cause , if care

    be taken in this respect ; our friends in particular would be informed if we had an estate either to let or sell , a business to dispose of , or wished either to purchase

    or hire a farm , &c , to engage in a trade or profession , had a child or children to place out ; so also in a variety of other particulars , which , it is needless to mention .

    By a neglect of these things many flourishing congregations have been much thinned ; so , on the other hand , manv valuable

    additions have been made by care and circumspection in those respects , and therefore we have ' good ground to believe , that if we exert ourselves and improve the means we possess , under the divine blessing , our labour will not be in vain . Your ' s , respectfully , An ISLE of WIGHT FARMER .
