    the rime of his first year ' s labours Dr . Ttickerhiah said , u Dtirhig 'the year ; I ' Have visited nearly 170 'ftutrilies ; and lily missionary visits , if I have counted tneni correctly , amount to about 1950 . The service Of the Lecture Robm has beeu continued , and Well attended ; and an audience apparently indre serious ainPd attentive is not , I believe , to be found in

    the city . I have reason to believe that great good fists resalteU from this service . I have brought a number of children into our schools , wlio otherwise would not have been there ; and , through the kindness of a few friends , I have been enabled to extend great relief and comfort to the sick aud greatly suffering poor . Nor is it to my miud the least

    gratifying circumstance in a review of the year which closes to * day , that I have been instrumental in recovering some from intemperance , who would other * wise , probably , have fallen its victims . " In a more recent Report , being the first semi-annual Report of his second year ' s inissirin , Dr . fTuckermaii s has sought to establish the position , that" there must be a ministry at barge for the poor of cities ,

    and the number to be employed itfthis ministry must be determined by thenumbers in a city which cannot be brought un--der the pastoral charge of the ministers of its churches . " In thisReport hesayar , ¦ " In the several departments of the ^ erfrice of a city minister at large * I have wished and endeavoured todo-my duty . Within the last six months , I have Made a few more than 1 ^ 00 visits . The se r ^

    vice of the Lecture Rootn has been continued , and has , I thiuk , been veiy 1150-ral . "A subscription has ^ lately been taken , the interest of Which , as a fund , ' will be appropriated to the rent of n lecture room , and its incidental expenses /' Excepting incidental charges , < no expenditures have been incurred during the last J ^ ar but fo r tracts > and midsidns .
