MISSIONARY SOCIETY OF LONDON AND ITS
VICINITY.

Tuesday evening, a must numerous and respectable
meeting of ladies and gentlemen, of different religious
denominations, tool. place at the Freetnasone%tavern,
Great Queen-street, Lincoln's hll's:lds. The great
hall, which was fitted tip for the occasion, was filled to
an overflow, anti, on a moderate calculation, cont.nue4
no less than a thousand persons. At sewn o'clock Sir
George Keith, Bart. wa,, unanimously called to the chair,
when a preparatory prayer was read by the Rev. Mr.
Churchill; after which the Chairman addressed the
meeting at some length, wherein he described the happy
results likely to arise from the present institution, whica
had for its object the evangelising of the poor inhabitants

of London anti us vicinity.
The Rev. Mr. Churchill moved the first resolution,
that Mr. Patteson be the treasurer to the Society for the
ensuing year, which was carried on a show of hands.
The Rev. Mr. SilDllloll% rose.—Many countries had
formed Missionary Societies to extend the gospel abroad,
but none in cellars and other unseemly places around us;
and surely it became us to look to our own families, and
those immediately around us that never think of going to
places of divine worship. It was the great object of this
Society to visit those in hospitals, and communicate to
them the gospel.
The Rev. Mr. Westley was happy see such a union
of souls as was then present. ale had been a Missionary
these 50 years past. (Applause.) Perhaps the name of
John Westley was not unknown to t his society:—(Ap-
klause.) He should still etnnin de to prOpagate the swivel.
The Rev. Mr. Sturteveut was happy to have lived to
this moment, when this met with such support. lie
calculated that, trona the number of inhabitants, there
was not accommodation fur one in every twenty in all
our places of worship, and to alleys and courts; he was
confident that not one out of every fifty go to any place
of worship on the Load's-day. lie had Munclf opened
a place, and it had been very successful ; and he was
positive, if reverend gentlemen would open u similar and
suitable place, it would be the means of emancipating
from ignorance and depravity thousands of individuals,
by instilling in their minds the word of Christ. lie
considered this society was 111:;1111Cl from any other ;
rivalled no other, and would, by the exert ion of christian
friends, be sure of succt ss. lie exhorted the meeting
to use their endeavours in facilitamitt such a glorious
and heavenly project. The Rev. Gentleman concluded
by snoring that Mr. G. A. Rubinson be appointed as se-
cretary to the society fur the enining year, winch was
sicondi d by the Rev. Mr. Farrant, and carried uua-

ninnsusly.
