"It will give you pleasure to know that I have the privilege of meeting the Bible-workers week by week on Wednesday, from six to seven a.m., for prayer and reading the Scriptures. Occasionally two or three Christian friends meet with us, to unite in supplications for the Divine blessing on our own work, and on Bible-work throughout the world.

"I have been much interested in the little pamphlet, 'The Bible the Best Story Book,' No. 2. My experience of more than twenty years entirely accords with it. The Missing Link' is very welcome to us. Before you kindly sent it, we only saw it occasionally.

"Allow me now to commend our work to your kind sympathy and aid. Here we obtain no assistance, and, with the exception of your remittance of last year, through our dear friend, Mr. Clark, and a small sum from a valued friend in England, we have been favoured with no other help. Out of our own small

income we find it very hard to spare the amount required, and, indeed, unless the funds at your kind disposal allow you again to assist us, we fear we shall be compelled to abandon the effort. This we should very deeply deplore.—I am, faithfully yours, "M. EAST."

ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE EDITOR.

A new Tract is just issued by our dear friend JOHN ASHWORTH, called "The Bible-woman," which he requests us to commend to the attention of our readers. As all he writes is so widely read, it may, by the blessing of God, introduce us to fresh helpers and sympathizers with the main end of our mission. We have received £173 less this November than we did in the same month last year, and yet seem called, by the growth of Romanism in this London of ours, to repair diligently our late retrenchments in the numbers of Bible-women. We pray that the month's receipts of December, January, and February may as usual bid us go forward and not backward in all our undertakings. The right kind of women are afresh offering themselves.

We have given due account of our expenditure, and now need continued support for all our branches.
