and Ranters , have failed , though hot without effort . Under these auspices , and in such a promising state of things * it must evidently be desirable that every obstacle to the full operation of what we consider truth should be removed , arid
we , therefore , propose the erection of a chapel in the place . There is no place of worship at present there . It will be surely interpreted as an omen favourable to the cause" of religious truth in this age of sectarian zeal , to see an
Unitarian chapel raising its head as the sole guardian of religion in an English village . The chapel we intend to build as economically as possible , in the vacation ^ to be ready for the students oh their feturn next session ; and we send this brief notice of the case to the Unitarian
public , to enable them to judge whether or not it be worthy of their cordial sup-|) ort . Our regular congregation at Welliourne cannot be far from a hundred , the room being often inconveniently full . The school we have established seems to
have removed every prejudice against Unitarianism , both there and in the neighbourhood . There are many who wow Id attend a chapel who object to a private house . There is every prospect
of its being resorted to by many from the surrounding villages , which are thickly scattered , and where services have not unfrequently been conducted by the students ; and , perhaps , the best recommendation of the whole will be the
excellent , pious and Christian character of the people for whose sakes the chapel will be built , aud who illustriously exhibit the power of Unitarian views , to enlighten the minds and purify the hearts of the poorest , but most peculiarly favoured followers of the religion of Jesus . The Secretary to the College Missionarr ) Society .
Towards the completion of this plan fifty pounds have been already collected in York and its vicinity , including j £ 10 from Mrs . Mary Hughes . Farther subscriptions will be received by the Rev . Charles Wellbeloved , York , and the Rev . Robert Aspland , Hackney .

religious advantages , and that they had been favoured by Divine providence with another opportunity of bearing their open testimony to the Div ' ne Unity , and to the sole and supreme worship due to the one only living and true God . L . HOLDEN , Secretary . June 1 , 1824 .

Sir , In the account that was forwarded for insertion in the Mon . Repos . y ( p . 334 , ) of the second anniversary of the Moor Lane
Society , Bolton , were the following paragraphs . As the statement of the proceedings copied from the Christian Re * flector , does not contain these , f shall feet obliged by their insertion in the ensuing number .
The congregation , at its annual meeting , unanimously resolved , < c That the support which this congregation has received from the friends of pure and uridefiled religion has excited in the breasts of its members the liveliest emotions of gratitude ; and they should not do justice to their feelings ^ were they not , < in the
warmest terms and manner , to returri their respectful thanks to the contributors towards the liquidation of the debt on their meeting-house ; at the same time expressing their hope that their past and future conduct , as a religious society , will shew that the obloquy under which they have laboured was totally unmerited . "
The congregation having understood it to be the intention of several individuals and Fellowship Funds to contribute to * wards the liquidation of their debt , beg to state to those parties , and to others interested in their prosperity , that if possible a vestry and school will be built by the Society . After the exertions which
they have already made ^ especially at their late Anniversary , they feel them * selves unable to do inuch ^ but as th ^ i erection of a vestry and school is essen ^ tially , requisite to the comfort and use * fulness of the congregation , they entertain the hope that the liberality of the public will euable them to carry thes £ intentions into effect . From Mrs ; Too * -
good , of Sherborne ^ they respectfully acknowledge 5 / . ; and any further sums which may be contributed , will be advertised on the cover t > f the Monthly Repository . GEORGE HARRIS * Bolt on , June , 1824 4
