are impressed with the fullest conviction that the promotion of this Charity is eminently calculated to advance the cause of true Religion and Morality, not only among the immediate Objects of its Bounty, but also as it continues to engage the benevolent feelings and cordial co-operation of those to whom it is indebted for support; and they are anxious to extend its benefits to a greater number of the Children of the Poor of this Parish, from time to time, as the liberality of the Inhabitants may enable them.

They therefore earnestly solicit the support of those who have not yet subscribed to it, trusting that this statement will be found to speak so plainly and forcibly for itself, as to induce many to join them in this work of Christian Benevolence.

SUBSCRIPTIONS and DONATIONS are received by Mr. G. BARTRUP, 297, Holborn, Treasurer; and Mr. J. HAZELHURST, 10, Gray's Inn Terrace, Collector.
