throne of our God and Father, that we may be kept from all evil, and walk worthy of our high calling. A. HUTCHISON. November 22nd, 1847.

MAIDSTONE. We have again to record our experience of the interesting truth, that the gospel is the "power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth." Brother King, from London, has again visited us, and delivered six addresses in the assembly rooms, on several important topics connected with the Messiah's kingdom; the congregations, though small, were of an interesting character, the judgments of several were won, but the affections of only two were secured, who were immersed for the remission of sins on the 17th instant, one of whom is an interesting young man, the son of a clergyman of the Church of England, (now deceased,) who heard brother Campbell lecture in London, and was thus prepared to hear brother King; the other was formerly a Wesleyan Methodist. We had also the addition of one who was a Baptist, thus making our number now eleven; our hopes are raised in reference to two or three others whose hearts are with us. Shall we not be encouraged to renewed exertions and increased confidence in the power of truth? Your's, in the hope of immortality,

THOMAS COPLESTON.

SEALE. My wife and self have resided here since the autumn of 1844. Being removed far off from any church, we read, spoke, and practised the truth to the best of our ability. Three bave been added to our number, so that five surround the table of the Lord every first day. Yours, &c., W. ScoTT. November 16th, 1847.

NEWTON STEWART.-In compliance with your request in page 519 of the Messenger, I beg to state that we number ten individuals, who adhere to the ancient gospel. We were made very glad to know that the Messenger was to be continued. Yours in the best of bonds, W. M. CRAWFORD.

Ross.-Brother John Griffiths and myself have joined the church at the Rhos (properly called Rhosllanerchrugog). We have taken a large and commodious chapel lately erected by seceders from the Welsh Calvinists, who have been dispersed, and have sold the chapel to us. Since we have re-opened the chapel it has been very well attended, better than was our expectation. We have now good reason to believe that the number of our hearers will be much increased, as the very strong prejudice that most of the neighbourhood had against us is gradually decreasing. I spoke last Lord's day in the morning to a large and attentive congregation, in the General Baptist's chapel, about a mile and a half from ours, and have promised another visit. By embracing every opportunity to sow the good seed, we may expect to see the fruit of evangelical reformation, which is much wanted in Wales. The addition to the church at the Rhos during last month has been twelve, including brother Griffiths and myself. We immersed eight, and two came to us from the General Baptists. We number now about thirty-five. We have also begun to preach at the CefnMawr, about three miles from the Rhos: we have rented a chapel there, where the Welsh Wesleyan Association used to meet, but have given the place up. We have only two brothers residing there now, but the congregation is very good. J. PRICE.

ROBERTSON V. CAMPBELL.-A brother has just arrived from Edinburgh and brings the intelligence that the appeal case of Robertson and Campbell was this day called and disposed off by the jury house, which is, that the Court sustains the judgment of the Lord Ordinary. The brother referred to heard the discussion, which occupied about an hour and a half. This being the decision, the expenses of this appeal will all fall on Robertson, and lay him open to an action of damages for false imprisonment; which though it may not be prosecuted, may prevent Robertson proceeding any further with the case of libel still pending. JOHN DRON.

CONCLUSION, 1847.

Ir is known to our readers in general, that at the Chester meeting, October 1, we were compelled, from the force of circumstances, some of which were then stated, to give up the Messenger into the hands of the brethren. From the confidence then expressed, the liberality shown, and the unanimous resolution passed, we undertook, for another year, to conduct the periodical: taking upon ourself the whole management-and acting by request as trustee for those churches who maintain and have contributed to the work. This service, all must be aware, incurs great responsibility, requiring much labour and application of body and mind, which is gratuitously devoted for the good of all.

In prospect of commencing a new series, as it is a business affair, we have determined to get the work printed as well, as cheaply, and as correctly, both in its typographical and literary character, as possible.

The number of pages will either be augmented to sixty-four, or the present ones greatly enlarged, so that twelve or sixteen pages more matter will be presented in each number, the price remaining the same-at least, for a time.

By this new arrangement we shall be able to insert most, if not all the articles issuing monthly from the pen of A. Campbell: and when the circulation is increased to 1,500, or 2,000 per month, the price shall be reduced accordingly. Emmolument in this or any other department of our labours in the kingdom of Jesus, we do not desire. But any further pecuniary sacrifices it is not our intention to make.

On the first of January, 1848, our readers may anticipate with cheerfulness and delight the first number of the BRITISH MILLENNIAL HARBINGER AND CHRISTIAN FAMILY MAGAZINE, to be continued monthly, (D.v.) The progress, prosperity, and continuance of this work, rests entirely upon the determined and united efforts of the brethren.

We must now bid a grateful adieu to our readers and patrons for the year 1847-an eventful year in the progress of ecclesiastical reform; but in nothing more so than in the long expected, acceptable, and laborious visit to Great Britain of Alexander Campbell and James Henshall, of Virginia, United States.
