    is announcing . We rejoice that-3 schema wiaie'b We were among the first ti > adopt 9 appears likely to be generally adopted ;

    because we are persuaded that by the small contribution ! of a penny a week , which scarcely any individual will feel to be an ef 3 Wt , it is calculated to become a very powerful instrument for the promotion of our common cause . We have nfo desire ? to

    make an ostentatious display of our own zeal . But now that our scheme has bfe&H in operation a year we think we maybe d ° i n i > good by informing the Unilarian ptitlic of Its progress . It may serve to keep up attention to tlie subje < x % and perhaps encourage and stimulate the exertions of others .

    The Penny Subscription ( strictly so called 9 because it has been limited to a penny & week from each subscriber ) has produced ^ in the . year , fourteen pounds , in addition to the money raised in our small congfVeg'a- ' tion for general purposes , siich as the sai ~ Ulster ' s salary , the repairs , the wanning and the lighting- of the chapel , the servants ?

    the poor , &c . This contribution has beem perfectly voluntary and cheerful , and is HiTkely to be continued without dimSjmfck > 2 io The fund has been preserved untouched fbr the first year . It will continue to be kept distinct from our other funds , and will be

    applied to no private uses of the congregation . At our last quarterly meeting- JDec ^ 31 , some resolutions were passed for commencing- its application to use . Our first resolution was to present two pounds to the New Unitarian Church at Stain forth ; which would be much more than the share

    of such a small society as ours towards the liquidation of their debt , if the . scheme were generally adopted , ^ and will be sufiicient we hope , for that purpose , if followed by a proportionate contribution from the other Fellowship Funds ah eady formed .

    We next resolved to subscribe a guinea annually to the Western Unitarian Society 5 conceiving- that we should thus be serving two useful purposes , procuring Tracts for circulation at the lowest expense , and at the same time contributing to the support f f that important institution .

    We determined also to take in some numbers of the Christian Reformer . The distribution of books t and the assisting of newly formed Unitarian Societies , will he our two principal objects . And we flatter ourselves , that we shall be able
