PI la‘oe.) lie believed there never was k time in
Which More "serious or dangerous difficulties would
arise if they were to attempt to alter, remodel,
or introduce changes in this matter to which
he had alluded, and he believed he might alto say with
truth that there had never been a time when the
members of the chug& worfaaatore ready, apse • necessity
being shown them, and opiaa • good manse being made
out for demanding their aid and assistance,
to come forward with a liberal hand and
open heart to subscribe for the neessaities and
requirements of thatutir reh, and promote her efficiency

instanoe of thin liberality, he said that within a few
years at Leeds no less a sum than £550,000 had been
raised for th• purpose of building and endowing
ehuvehes in different %Ali of that town. In Btladford
£250,000 had been raised for a similar purpose, and in
Sheffield upwards of £39,000 had been contributed for
church purposes, and at the latter place a lifr. Brown
moat liberally contributed £5,000. After alluding to the
Bishop of London's fund, be said he thought these things
pointed strongly in samfirmation of the opinions he had
expressed that there was no lank amongst the members
of the Church of England to come forward liberally for
the support of that church, and for putting her in that
position in which she ought to stand as the church of
the nation and people. (Applause.)

The Rev. Prebendary Bonn, In moving the first moo•
lotion, that the report read be printed and circulated,
said the society was doing a great amount of good, much
more than could be expected from the limited funds at
its disposal. In his own immediate parish two churches
had been restored, and he hoped soon that two more
would be renovated. This society had been the means
of restoring them. Re was sure they woull all desire
this society to be prosperous, and that it would still
oontinue to go on in the important work in which it was
now engaged. .

- -
JOHN RITZLNY, Esq., seconded the proposition.
After apologising to the meeting for his appearance, he
said that in his own pariah, in South 'Wiltshire, a very
handsome church had been erected, through the instru-
mentality of this society. He did not know of any
society in this diocese that had greater claims upon them
than the one they were met to advocate. There was
one point whioh had always struck him in oonnection
with this society, and that was, the deep necessity of
having a place of worship in such a state as it ought
to be in, so that the House of God should be, as it ought
to be, the best house in a village.
Several other speakers afterwards addressed the
meeting, and the procedings were brought to a close by
• eulle•tien being made at the door.
