of  a  Deacon  at  the  Tabernacle,  not  content  to  thrust  one  of  her
prayer  meetinge  under  my  window,  sent  me  a  letter  informing  me
that  the  good  minlBters,  names  not  given,  believed  not  half  ox  the
population  attended  meetings  on  Sundays  &  asking  me  to  give  her
i&  them  through  her  a  list  of  such  sad  delinquents,  white  &  black,
to  see  whether  the  number  would  admit  a  Missionary  or  what
measures  might  be  adopted  to  visit  &  reclaim  them.  Notice  is
given  that  there  will  be  a  grand  display  of  Missionary  Appoint-
ments on  Wednesday  next  at  the  Tabernacle.  Professor  Stuart  is
to  exhibit  on  the  occasion.  It  is  mentioned  as  part  of  the  Plan  to
appoint  S.  Worcester,  operator  General  in  this  work  in  connection
with  the  Andover  Instihition.  The  same  evening  is  mentioned  for
an  Oratorio  in  the  Old  Church,  &  for  the  Annual  dinner  of  the
East  India  Marine  Society.  It  will  be  a  busy  day  with  us.  The
zealous  have  hired  Faben's  Soom  for  Negro  amusements  in  South
Salem,  above  High  street^  for  a  place  of  worship.  It  was  at  first
intended  for  the  blacks  but  it  has  been  crouded  with  whites,  who
differ  in  complexion.  The  people  at  large  are  not  so  well  satisfied
with  the  Sunday  schools  &  aevout  assemblies  as  they  become  better
acquainted  with  the  conduct  in  them.
