The
Rev. C. It. D. Carter, 8.A., preached the sermon in
the morning, and the Rev. Mr. tibuttleworth in the
evening. On Monday evening • public meeting was
held at the infect schoolro KO when the Rev. C. R.
D. Carter delivered an addi:ees on the work of the
society. The meeting was well attended, the chair
befog taken by the Rev. Mr. Shuttleworth. The
proceedings having been opened with singing and
prayer, ths Chairman made • few remarks and then
card upon Mr. Carter to deliver his addresa. The
rev. gentleman reviewed at some length the miseion
work of the Church from an early period up to the
present time. Speaking more particularly of the
warty for which he pleaded, be said It wee started in
the year 1837, and had carried on its work with great
efficiency and with excellent results. He himself had
had a large amount of experience in the work, having
been employed as an additional curate in the Black
Country. In one pariah in which he had laboured,
with a population of no lees than 12,000 persona, he
found no leas than 1000 =baptized heathens, and
this case was Oct peculiar, for he knew of many other,
of the seine kind. The modal used many agencies
to meet the people. A very important one was the
formation of social institutes, in which man could
enjoy themselves without the temptations of the
publicrhoues, lie also used to had that a
amount of good was dose by means of the
generation, which was the nturry of the Church,
taken in hand in time they had • great influence over
the whole Parents bed been brought to
church sad bed become oommuromats simply from
what theUhad heard the children say in the Sunday
Scho•L Therefor, a great work of the 'society was
to have good Sunday Schools, which was an agency
through which • great deal of work could
be done • and now that the School Boards
were increirlog in number (and he believed the time
would soon come when UM Board schools would take
the place of the National schools). they must bear in
mind the neresity of keeping Sunday Schools
thoroughly efficient. There was one thing In particu-
lar which should move them to assist the society, and
that was that the Church of England waa so exceed.
Indy poor, Room than any other denomination in the
country. This might sound strange, but ft was
perfectly true. There were In England altogether
12,257 Wrings, moor it wee true, very Hob, but others
V 7 poor. Then MVO 6,744 with an Income between
£2OO and £500; 3,015 under £100; 1,061 under £100;
166 under £10; 34 under £25; 6 under £10; and or
rejoicing in the enormous Income of £3 a year. When
people saw the clergy of the Church of England living
sjx,saoeeitly very comfortable they were disposed to
think they received large emoluments from the Church.
But the fact was a large number of the livings were go
poor that no one could take them Wen he had large
private means. It was a Moon for congratulation
that they had in the church, so many good devoted
servants of God who had abundant MOM; and who
Wen willing to vend and be spent in the service of
God's church. They ought to be thankful that it wee
so, but let them not make the mistake of Woking that
they were rich because of the emoluments of the church.
Than there was another thing to be borne in mind,
viz., that ma a rule where there was • large Population
there was a small income. For inatenr, In the parish
of Si, Loki' (London), there was a population of 6,000,
and the endowment was £165; St Philip (London),
9 £7l, £180; All Sainte (London), 11000, £lOO. Holy
;11=thairhenhewil, 3.600, £206; Saints

ham), 6,000, £266; sad the Albert
Church, 17,000, £3OO. In oostolusion he gave tha
