HOME MISSIONS,
The Society for the supply of additional curates has been doing good
work for many years past in towns and districts where the existing
numbers of clergy find the overflowing populations too numerous to
deal with. By providing an extra Curate, it has enabled hundreds of
families, previously neglected, to share in the ministrations of the
Church. On behalf of this society, the deputation, the Rev. J, J. Coles,
preached on Wednesday evening, July 19th, from Luke iv. 18, 19. The
collection amounted to l4s. 3d. The Vicar will gladly give boxes to
others who are willing to collect for Association.
