THE THIRD AND FINAL APPEAL.

In obedience to the Resolutions of the Circuit Meeting, the Trustees forwarded a copy of the preceding Report to all the Subscribers of £1 each, or upwards, as well as to such friends as were supposed to be likely to afford further assistance.

The following sums were received:-

At the Michaelmas Circuit Meeting, 1844, the Trustees appealed to the Preachers, Leaders, and Stewards present, respectfully reminding them of the great loss they had sustained, by paying Interest on so large a proportion of the £2000 during so long a period, and of the inconvenience they were still sustaining through want of the Balance. At the suggestion of the REV. JOSEPH FOWLER the Superintendent, and with the unanimous consent of all present, the Trustees were authorized to invite the Members of the Society and Congregation at Great Queen Street to take Tea with them on December 16th, to hear a report of the present state of the Subscriptions, and to afford their further assistance; the Trustees also obtained the consent of the Meeting to invite DR. NEWTON to make a final appeal to the Congregation on Wednesday, December 18th. These means having been adopted and zealously carried into effect, the Balance due to the Trustees was obtained. The following List records

the names of the kind friends to whom the Trustees must ever feel deeply indebted for enabling them to bring this matter to a conclusion.

THE SERMON PREACHED BY DR. NEWTON PRODUCED....£13 10 0

It only remains for the Trustees to record their grateful sense of the goodness of God, in permitting them all to see the accomplishment of this most important, though anxious and laborious, undertaking. They feel it also due to their Christian Ministers and brethren to acknowledge their unwearied beneficence, by which this important Trust has been extricated from a state of great embarrassment, and placed in manageable and hopeful circumstances.
