bergate , York , have been supplied as usual ; and the room at Barton has been kept open , though the small number of missionaries has prevented the services there from being so frequent as at the oth'Cr stations . The summary of the cash account for the present session is , Received ^ 22 13 9 Expended 22 4 0 Balance in hand 0 9 9
The present aspect of the stations is encouraging . At Jubbergate , the Sunday-school and the library connected with it are in a flourishing condition . At Wellborne a Sunday-school library has recently beeu established , in addition to the congregational library ; and , with the assistance of the Rev . Joseph Ketley during his late residence on the spot , the
number of hearers has been so much increased , that for the greater part of the present session the chapel has generally been nearly filled , and frequently crowded- Our friends at Barton have had great difficulties to contend with , especially from the active andunremitted opposition they have experienced from members of the Established Church ; but they still remain unshaken in their belief as
Unitarians , and avow it with exemplary openness . Though the number of missionaries from amongst the students has been considerably diminished , and will shortly be still more so ^ this circumstance will probably not be altogether adverse to the
interests of the society or the stations . For some of our Baptist lay friends , of the Jubbergate Society , have zealously assisted in cases of emergency , whose services have hitherto been very acceptable to their hearers j and they arc disposed to continue them as circumstances may require .
