SOCIETY for PROMOTING the EN-
LARGEMENT and BUILDING of CHURCHES
and CHAPELS.

The Annual General Meeting of this Society, held at Free-
masons"ravern, on the 25th of May, was numerous and most
respectable. _ _

The report showed how much good the Society has ben
strumental in effectine,, with means comparatively small. It
has made grants in 395 cases ;'and, by the expmditaire of
86,1401. has been instrumental in providing an increas.:e of ac-
commodation in churches and chapels to the amount of 113,714
sittings. Of this number, 84,548 are for the use of the poOr.
The assistance given by the Society has all but exhausted its
finances ; and yet, such is the increased and increasing popu-
lation of the country, that church room to a much greater ex-
tent is still required. Applications are even more numerous
now than they were at any former period ; but unless the public,
whose aid earnestly entreated, and on whom the Society de.
pends (for it is supported entirely by voluntary contributions),
shall supply the means, assistance can beno longerafforded. The
parliamentary grants are sk.cially appeOpriated SO the building
of additional churches, and in places where the population ex-
ceeds 4,000 persons, they cannot be applied to imyrove, enlarge,
or rebuild: These are the great objects of this society, and
these objectahave been promoted with tio inconsiderable success
during the seven years of its existence. It Kis opened the
doors of the established church to thousands who were before
excluded from joining in_its worship. Will not, then, the
friends of that church come forward, and enable the society
to continue its useful exertions ? His Majesty has been
graciously pleased to make a donationof 1,000/. ; and the Com-
mittee cannot but inddlge the hope that the example of the
sovereign will be followed by his subjects in every rank of life;
for every pound that is subscribed will be the means of furnish-
ing an additional sitting. They can appeal to the good which
has been already done in .varibuS places, by supplying the
spirtual wants of. the
.population. They may venture to say,
that the interests of religion and morality cannot be more
effectually promoted than by the support and encouragement of
this society.
