ever they could get them, those mamas of the population
who were springing up around them throughout the king-
dom. Everyone who had to do with them knew how diffi-

there woo a will there would be no difficulty. But the upper
classes were apt to make too light of the diffieultits of the
poor. It was true that God could be worshipped in rage as

as sacred as oars—meat be aware that there or I

the opportunity of add:raging persons whom he would

to visit them, to say a few woggle. It was a circumstance in-

(Ilea, bear.) As towns, extended and population became

The labouring desalt did nut know what to do with themselves
when they mule back from their work. Thole who
thought that they ought to remain at home did not,
know what thew home, were. Ile wan satisfied
that the atrial improvement of these clusses must precede

Mr. GLAI.TONE moved the following resolution:—" That
separation of rich and poor, by their revere' rraidentra at
East and Wort of London,' demands the active inter-
change of bur and co-operation to sustain nil church man-
bership, and that every work of the church of England fa
educating and towhing the poor sad crowded population has
a claim upon the ...tame of the richer members.' Ho said
hie lonlnhip dwelt en this prep.-item in • manner which left
nothing to lie desired. lie enunciate% with sad and painful
truth the doctrine, that we were bound together in ear body,
even ea the body of our Lend, and that in virtue of that peered
rrl ttion we were obliged to einem of mutual love. There
truths had now become the common-platen of our know-
ledge, but when they were trot proclaimed to the
fallen races of man they were startling dieroverice
and revelations. (Hear, bear.) These truths had not
lad their vitality by repetition, but we had lust the
energy, the truth, and the sincerity with which they were re-
ceived. (Hear, hear.) The words cane to the ear, but they
pealed by like the idle wind. The day would come, how-
ever when society required to be awakened to the fact that
ender three teethe, which we heard without attention, there
lay • meaning which, if not realimed and implied to the acts
of daily life, we must, and perhaps before lung, rue the con-
soquences. (blom, hear.) It was an unquestionable truth,
and • necessary result of the laws by which societies were
cunstruired, that every hews which woo built for the noble-
mm, the wealthy landlord, the banker, or the merchant in
Belgrave or Eaton equate, did generate a certain amount of
population who were east upon this esteems district, who
were removed out of sight, and therefore unhappily out of
mind, of the wealthier class. Thin wee • serious and ap-
palling state of thing,. (Hear, hear.) It was searrady con
gilds to hope it should receive more than mingenem,
but great mitigation it might receive. The Metro-
politan Visiting Relief Association, which owed its
origin to his right reverend friend Bishop Blemlield,
was the feat reamnition, in • permanent form, of the duty
which the west of London owed to the east. (Hear.) That
