DECEMBER, 1864. FINANCES. A RESPECTFUL BUT URGENT REQUEST. Tue Quarterly Payments to the Society's Agents in Ireland will be due in a few weeks. It is of great importance that these should be fully provided for. The request is therefore earnestly made that contributions may be sent in as early in the month of December as possible. A very large proportion of the Society's income is received between the months of January and May. This renders it difficult to provide for the other parts of the year without the expense of a loan. If any subscribers who have been accustomed to pay their subscriptions after Christmas would kindly remit them before that date, they would render very useful service by lessening the amount for which interest has to be paid. It is of more than ordinary importance that payments should be made before the 25th instant this year, on account of the retirement of the present Secretary at that time. It is much to be desired that the Committee and the Secretary pro tem. should be relieved as far as possible from all difficulties respecting the Society's income. It is, therefore, earnestly hoped that the request hereby made will be kindly complied with by as many of the Society's friends as may have it in their power to do so. RESIGNATION OF OFFICE BY THE SECRETARY. MR. MIDDLEDITCH having received an invitation to the pastoral office from the church at BLOCKLEY, Worcestershire, and being inclined to comply with the request, not only from preference for stated ministerial service, but also because the pressure of duties in the office of Secretary had become too great for him to sustain with comfort, submitted the matter to the Committee at their meeting on the first of November. A Sub-Committee was then appointed to confer with him thereon, in order to ascertain if any arrangement could be made by which to secure his continuance in office. After conference with the brethren so appointed, Mr. Middleditch still felt that, while most gratefully acknowledging the kindness of the Committee in the proposals made, he could not continue to discharge the duties of the office with satisfaction to himself without a measure of exertion beyond what the state of his health would warrant. He therefore addressed the following letter to the Committee, which was read at a meeting specially summoned to receive his decision : |
