    " God grant his blessing that it may answer the purpose for which it is intended ; may it tend to promote the glory of God and the good of our fellow-creatures . " The Unitarians at

    Stainforth are far from being ignorant of the numerous calls which have lately been made upon the kindness of * the common supporters of the cause which they have espoused , but they are happy

    in being able to reflect that there are ma . ny among the believers in the faith ' * once delivered unto the saints , " who are neither wanting in the inclination nor in the ability to offer their

    benevolent assistance when they have reason to expect that it will not be abused but converted to the " glory of God and the good of our fellowcreatures . " To these individuals they therefore beg leave , Mr . Editor , to submit the consideration of their

    circumstances , through the medium of your Monthly Repository . I have only to add the request , Sir , that you will be pleased to receive any subscriptions that may be presented towards defraying the expense that will be incurred in erecting a

    Unitarian Chapel at Stainforth , and to report the names of the individuals by whom they are presented , in your Monthly Repository . Subscriptions will also be received by Dr . Thomson , of Leeds ; Rev . P . Wright , Sheffield ; Rev . John Gaskell , Thorne ; and Mr . John Marsdin , I . evells , near Thorne .

    purpose . Mr . John Gaskell , who has lately settled as the Pastor of the Unitarian Church at Thorne , preaches also at

    Jbtam forth every Sunday afternoon ; and we confidently anticipate that his labours among us , assisted by several auspicious circumstances of a local nature , which now seem to favour us , will be attended with considerable success as soon as we shall have procured a neat and commodious place of worship .
