MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT.—The sixth
annual meeting of the friends and supporters of this move-
ment was held last night in Freemasons' Hall, Great
Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, Mr. Robert Baxter occu-
pying the chair. The report of the committee, which was
read by Mr. Stabb, the honorary secretary, stated that the
operations of the society during the past year had been the
most successful since the undertaking of its work of recla-
mation. Twenty-six meetings had taken place in various
parts of the metropolis, and no less than 300 unfortu-
nates were directly induced to abandon their im-
moral course of life at the very time of hold-
ing the midnight gatherings. Others through the
effect produced on their minds, had afterwards sought
shelter in various charitable homes without applying to the
society, and the total number rescued was estimated at
about one thousand, whose reformation there was every
reason to believe was sincere, and would no doubt be per-
manent. The movement had also made considerable pro-
gress in the provinces, and it was now generally recognised
as being both useful in its action and philosophical in
principle. Unhappily, evidences of its necessity
were everywhere to be found, not only in the
streets and various places of public amusement,
such as public-houses, casinos, and concert-rooms, but in
many pretentious Belgravisn dwellings, withinwhich district
it had been stated that there were no less than 400 houses
of ill fame. The society, therefore, made an earnest appeal
for Christian benevolence and support in its efforts to
diminish the wide-spread sore of the social evil. Its in-
come for the past year had amounted to 1,260(., and the
whole had been absorbed by carrying out its plan of
reformation. The meeting, which included many ladies,
was very numerously attended.
