CHURCH PASTORAL-AID SOCIETY.
PRESIDENT.

THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY .
On re-assembling after their usual recess, the Committee find
themselves compelled to make an urgent appeal for immediate
assistance.
The receipts of the present year are £1,060 less than those of
the corresponding portion of the past.
Pressing applications for aid, have, for a long time, accumulated
on the Society's list ; and during the last month, several new cases
of extreme urgency have been forwarded for the favourable con-
sideration of the Committee. "Ten thousand souls without a
minister," writes one applicant ; "The back streets may be de-
scribed in two words, poverty and depravity," writes another ;
again, " I can testify that the moral and religious condition of
this district will bear no comparison to that of Sierra Leone."
The Committee entreat attention to this fact, that the Society's
funds are not even sufficient to maintain its existing Grants; un-
less, therefore, a prompt and generous response to this appeal be
made, there can be no extension of operations; and these dis-
tricts must remain unaided in which, day by day, souls are passing
into eternity unprepared and unwarned !
Subscriptions and donations will be thankfully received in Lon
don by Messrs. WILLIAMS, DEACON, and Co. ; and HERRIES,
FARQUHAR, and Co., bankers ; and by Messrs. SEELEY,
HATCHARD, NISBET, and DALTON, booksellers ; or at the Offices
Of the Society, Temple Chambers, Falcon-court, Fleet-street.
Contributions may be sent through any country bankers, who
should desire their London correspondent to place the same to
the Society's credit with Messrs. WILLIA :us, DEACON", and Co.
The Secretary requests to be informed of such remittances by an
early post. EDWARD J. SPECK, M.A.I Secretaries.
