reed ; the Bishop of Loudon in the chair.
The Rm. GM:ince MAIM, the hon. clerical Hasten,
read the report, from which it appeared that the popoldice
of Islington had increased from 10,212 in 1801 to 155,291
in 1861, while the church ls erected within Met
period were as follows :—" Thee
between 1801 and
1811 saw not any church seeded :dam between 1811 and
1821, saw one; that between 1821 and 1831, three; that
between 1831 and 1841. four ; that between 1841 sad 1851,
one ; that between 1851 and 1861, nim ; while the four
years duos 1861, have seen six. There were sow sittiap
tn the churches of this parish for about 32,000
end of these 30,a9) but been supplied since ur iz is
the space of about fifty years."
The Bishop of LONDON, in addressing the meeting, mid
that it was now nine years date he presided as the fint
meeting of this institution, and daring that period they had
erected eight permanent churches sad four temporary Dees.
The work proposed at that time was the erection of ten
churches. They had therefore reason to thank God for
what had been done during them sine years. It
that between 1841 and 1851 only one church hTereeena
erected—namely. Christ Church, Highbary. It was them
tore matter for thankfulness that so much had hem dope a
the time that succeeded. This showed that the fact of
their wilting themselves heartily in this work had produced
a far greater amount of result than could have
bees expected from the mere fund which had
been oolted foe the support of the institution.
It appeared by the report that from 1861 to the ()meet
time they had three other churches to be added to the list,
so that 11 permanent churches and four temporary noes
had in reality been erected during this period if aim
years. Great change had taken place
in these years. 055

had been taken from them (the v. Mr. Kite); while
another--a father in Christ—whose venerable presence it
was impoesible to see without being impressed that the
outward appearance was but symbolical of what wee
within, wee also removed from the good work
to which his life had been dedicated (Me Rev.
J. Hamblstm). He regretted. and he was MO
they all regretted, that the vicar of the parish ma sot able
to be present. He trusted that he would soon be restored
to health, and that he might be enabled in his advanced
age to perform in a quieter, and perhaps more retired wa
hey,
bat with his accustomed zeal and energy, that part whieh
had so long borne as the foremast minister of Christ in this
large pariah. (Hear, hear.)
The following resolutions were agreed to :—" That this
meeting thankfully ?omelets the continued favour and
blessing of Almighty God in the increase of church meow
modation nude from year to year during the present our

.spiritual necessities of the parish;
