The Treasurer in submitting his annual statement, wishes to call attention to the feet that, while the income for the year, from all sources, exceeds that of the previous year by £52 5s. 8d., there is a falling off in Seat Rente and Subscriptions to the extent of £58 10s. For this deficiency the Treasurer can only account by stating that some members are in arrears of payment, while others who used to contribute to the Church Funds are now (temporarily, it is hoped) withholding their assistance. To all such, as well as to the many regular attendants at Macquarie Street Church who have not yet signified their willingness to lend a hand in supporting the cause of Unitarian Christianity by a regular subscription, which need not be more than Five Shillings per quarter, the Treasurer respectfully but earnestly appeals. He holds it to be the moral duty of every member of society to support the Religious Cause which most commends itself to his mind and conscience, and hopes that the zeal and liberality of the friends of Free Religious Thought in New South Wales, as represented by the Sydney Unitarian Church, will relieve him, during the coming year, of all difficulty in discharging its financial obligations.
