3. There has been, since the formation of the Institution, one adult school connected with it, in which, on the Lord's day afternoons, since that time, about 150 adults have been instructed. 4. The number of Bibles and Testaments which have been circulated through the medium of our Institution, during the last year, amounts to 452 copies. There have been circulated since March 5, 1834, 6,044 copies of the Scriptures. 5. There have been laid out, during the last year, of the funds of the Institution, L120, 10s. 2d. for missionary purposes. 6. There are at present ninety-one orphans in the three houses. The total number of the orphans who have been under our care from April 11, 1836, to December 9, 1840, amounts to 129. _Without any one having been asked for anything by us_, the sum of L3,937, 1s. 1d. has been given to us for the Orphan Houses, _as the result of prayer to God_, since the commencement of the work. THE BLESSING OF THE LORD UPON THE WORK IN REFERENCE TO THE SOULS OF THE CHILDREN. 1. During the last fourteen months there have been meetings purposely for children, at which the Scriptures have been expounded to them. At these meetings an almost universal attention is manifested by them, which I thankfully ascribe to the Lord, and upon which I look as a forerunner of greater blessing. 2. During the last year three of the Sunday-school children have been received into fellowship. 3. At the end of last year there had been eight orphans received into communion; during the present year fourteen have been received; in all, twenty-two.
