It wouhl be saying too little to simply express the fact lliat the " andienees \verc attentive " as well as numerous ; they were in many instances serious and solemn, — the oidy interrupti(»n. on one or two occasions, proceeding from the noise of Hinie children jtlaying in the neighborhood, who had never ix'en trained to habits of Church going, or even to spiritual worshij) — but even they might be easily subdued into attentixe listening by a few [)ersons mingling with them.

At the ti.ily catholic spirit so ])roniinent in the move- ment, and at the very favorable treatm:jit the undertaking- has received at the hands of the jn-oprietors of the city press, who have uniformly inserted their notices and acted in a very (rourteous spirit toward the movement, to all of wbom they beg to return cordial thanks. There are some Clergymen who had and perhaps still have conscientious scruples against open-air | reaching who might be willing to undertake the further prosecution of the cffiirt iluring the winter in some conunodious building, and to them they would now assign it for the i>resent. The Connnittee record their grateful acknowledgment to the several Clergymen and other gentlemen who so willingly cauie up to the work. Also to Mr. 3IcAlpine, who so ably officiated as Presenter in the absence of and with Mr. Mor- ton, the Halifix City Missionary ; io v/hom they also record their thanks. An expenditure of two pounds and eight shillings was incarroil for printing and getting the bills posted up. — Even this may be saved on any future occasion. Thus showing how nuich good may be attempted at compara- tively no expense.
