executive committee appointed to administer the
Bishop of London's Fund was held at the offices in
Pall Mall, for the purpose of receiving a report of
the proceedings ,i'or the first tweive raonths—_that 18
to the, eloee of what is called the Lo.ldca season,
The Bishop of LONDON presided, and there were
present the Earl of Harrewby, Lord Radstock,
Viscount Sandon, .14)rd Ebury, Ei.-ri C-robrenon,
M.P., the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, :v1.2.. .;U r J. G.
Hubbard, M.P., Mr J. Abel Smith, Mee., Mr F. S.

iPong:::,eBsllait.:lg.t:LitiESs;vi;cil;lrillblilautsiA'ness :'ol lvti,,,i leeel had
assembled was to lay bt'iore the iloare, :.: re;.;urt of
what had been done since their last rueatinz—it
deed, during the last twelvemonths--and that ini-313
be said to be the whole time durieee which
had been in operation, for although it Was in ore
than twelvemonths since it was devised, atilt it cc tied
not be said to have been more than eweivenaor.ths
in actual operation. It would be remembered he
first penned a letter little more than a year ago, in
which he appealed to the public to supply the deocese
with 100 additional clergy and 100 lay agents. The
actual state of the case at the present moment was,
that they had been able to make arra ogements not
absolutely complete, but as nearly complete as pos-
sible, for the immediate employment of 58 addi-
tional clergy and upwards of 30 additional lay
agents. He thought that that was as much success,
as they could have anticipated, and that they ha( i
reason to thank God and take courage for the .t
amount of success which had attended their effete ei.
It would be remembered that at the first nieeti ng
which was held at London House there was le ems
hesitation as to the amount of money which sh ceeid
be asked for. They thought to ask for £100,0•J0 in
ten years, but providentially that was overruled.
He feared that if they had made that fatal re2istake
people would have been satisfied with thee, and
would have given nothing more. It was, be ,wever,
suggested meeting aetatchhaotf thet thenyaetar£B,loaom,ooouOntevi
noguldto best
million for the whole period. Now, in lie tle more
than the first year £75,000 had been actu ally paid
to the fend out of the £lOO,OOO asked for, leaving
a deficiency of £25,000. It was, of coarse, imeose
sible for him to say whether their friends would be
more generous and charitable next year and in future
years. They had made grants of capital sums fo*:
various purposes up to £31,960, and they had pledged
themselves to three societies for lay agents—cler sy
and Scripture readers—to the extent of £5,000 for
tea years, makitig £50,000. They had given rpm•
rantees also for lay agents for this year, in addition,
of £8,320, which they hoped to continue in eieture
years. In the other case they had given a pledge
to continue them. If the latter sums wet.e con-
tinued for the ten years they would arnieent to
1 £83,200. These sums added together would show
them the nature of the work they had to do ; but
looking to the probability that in future yE are they
would receive a great deal more than they had yet
received, they had no reason to be afraid teat what
they had done would lead to sny evil resuets. The
balance sheet then stood as follows :—lteceived and
promised, £151,000, of which £75,000 had been
actually paid ; £31,960 had been given in capital
sums for sites of various kinds and for missionary
chapels and churches ; £50,000 actually promised,
and grants of £8,320, which, if renewed for ten
years, would make £83,200. He thought that state
of things coald not be looked upon as c.iscocraging,
although it was a state of things evil ich obviously
called for great exertions from all :!riends of the
cause.

Mr T. BoDLEY, the secretary, re?..d the report,
which entered into details on the pccints raif.,cd in
the bishop's speech.

The Earl of HAAIROWBY, in moving the adoption
of the report, said he thought the ollservatioue of
the bishop on the present condition of things was
the truest possible representation of their 811C0::28.
They ought not to be puffed up, and they certs.:,nly
ought not to be discouraged. They had not reached
the tenth part of what they required, at least not to
be operatic]. upon, but, considering the groat diffi-
culty there was in putting in motion so large a me.
chine, it was not so muoh amiss that they had made
a fresh demand successfully to that extent. He coul4
not but hope that, when they had been a little
longer under weigh, their work would speak more
eloquently to the hearts of the people then any
papers or statistics. He was much inclined 10 bope
that they would progressively get into new strata
of society, for there were ample resources if they
could but reach them. He placed much reliance
upon the system of the offertory, which at one time
had a bad sound, but which had now lost i.ts party
character. He thought they should have local com-
mittees and constant appeals to the congregations
of the church. By these two means he trusted they
would be able to reach all classes of society.
Earl GROSVENOR, M.P., in seconding the motion,
said that there was something very satisfactory in
the working of local committees. He might men•
tion as an instance in the local committee of his OWII
district that a builder residing et Brampton had at
once offered a site for a church.
The motion was unanimously adopted.
Some discussion on the rules for the future
guilance of the committee, in which Lord Sandon,
Prebendary Burgess, Sir T. W. Waller, and other
gentlemen took part having finished,
Mr. F. S. POWELL, M.P„ moved a vote of thanks
to the bishop, to whom he said the diocese and the
Church generally ought to be deeply grateful.
Sir E. PEARSON seconded the motion, which was
carried by acclamation.

The Bishop of LONDON briefly ackcowledged the
compliment, repeating his thanks to the gentlemen
who bad so energetically acted on the committee.
The board then proceeded to make grants in aid
of the most spiritually destitute districts in the
metropolitan diocese.
