The Association extends its influence regularly to two hundred adults and four hundred children . In addition to which , its stated Missionary , Mr . Buckland , had preached occasionally at several places and distributed a considerable number of tracts .

    We may in particular mention the district of Padiham , Newchurch , and , Rossendale , which he had visited , and from which he returned highly gratified .

    such a degree as to indicate the necessity of the enlargement of their meetinghouse . The report of the Committee ; states , that they had . felt themselves , Obliged , by the inadequacy of the funds of the Association , to relinquish the services of their missionary , Mr . Budtland * r JThe Meeting , however , together with the Committee deeply regretting this circumstance , entered into a , subscription , amounting tp £ 25 . per a ^ nuu ^
