SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
AT a GENERAL HALF-YEARLY MEET-
ING of ilia SOCIETY for the SUPPORT and EN-
COURAGE m ENT of SUNDAY SCHOOLS, in the .different
Container Er:GLAND and WALES, held at the Guildhall
Cutfee llovne, nit Wedoenday, the 10th of Anrils Uhl);
SAMUEL GOADHY, Esq. in the Chair :
The Committee reported, that since the last General Meet-
ine in Oariticr IAO4, they had added 51 School:, with the ad-
dition of more than 60001 Scholars to the Statement then de-
livered: and, that from the Commencement of thin Innito-
tirm in 1765, the Society had afforded aid, either in books or
money, to 2,360 Schools, containing 213,011 Scholars, for
whose use they had distributed 201,974 Spelling Books, 46,465
Testaments, G,9.1i Bibles; besidia a turn of 4,1421. 4s. sd.
rented to such Schools as stood in need of pecuniary assists
anew.
It affords the Society the purest satisfaCtion to he enabled to
meet the public with ninny fresh evidences, both of the pro-
gram and umfolneas of Suerlay Schools. The effeels of that
attention which the Coin 'tee 1.34 to petitions for assistance
from the Principality of Wales,begis now to display itself in a
manner which promises the most exteroive and happy tenths.
Already it isamert lined that 11;1 Schools have been established
* the Society in the Counties of Find, Denbigh, Anglesey,
Aferioneth, and Caernarvon, in which upw.irds of 701i0
Scholars, who, in all orotundity, must have rill remained in
ignorance, are new taught to read and understand their moral
obligations both to Gil and Man. Accounts are also expedite,
from all the other Counties of a still farther augmentation of
their number.
It must be peculiarly grateful to every friend of trite Heti,-
' gion to know, that the seal for conveying instructien through
the medium of Sunday Schools, appears in no degree abated,
notwithstanding the So.i ty have been engaged Twenty Years
in min great Work • rid, perhaps, it may be attributed, is
no inermaiderahle degree, to the 'fleets of this Institution,
:eider the hl -.sing of God, in re:noring the ignorance of the
lower denim of the community, ii•vi bringing them to a knows
ledos of the Bible; that the Salient of that Hely Book has
been advaecedss-a jut nuhordiristion to our Roles has been
promoted, and our hoe table Privileges, as a Nation, both
Civil and Reltfi •es. have been preserve!.
e In adyesting to the prlvese of the Society and its important
Effects; the Committee canimt bie oheerve with concerti ; and,
it is a fact, which they think of importance to make known,
that the annual increase of the funds bears scarcely any pro.
pont in to the annual increase of demands upon them, while
apple ations of the most uree.ot native are multiplying on
*every bawl; very little progress is made in augmenting those
ors oirees he which such renications are to he met.
It is trier .f.we conk le d'y hoped, that :he prompt and sea-
lout liberality of the pu die will hasten to pr.srent the, painful
necessity of limiting that aoittance uton which so many
claims are made, and such important consequences to the
moral aid religious interests of our fellow-ereelorea depend;
and that the Society msy look foram d to a wider dintribus
