KIPEN-
LARGEMENT and BOLDING! of CHURCHES
and CHAPELS. : - •• - • ' • •
Free-
masons' Ann
Tavern,

,
Orlielthe Atli of May, was numerous and most
geeting of this Society, held at
respeciable.• •
The•report showed how math good the Society has been in-
strumental in effecting, with `means comparatively small; It
has made grants in 395 cases ; and, by the expenditure of
86,1401. has been instrumental in providing an increase 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.
Theassistance 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'inore numerous
now than they were at any former period ; but anleii the' public,
Whose aid is earnestly entreated, and on whom the Society lie.
pends (for it is supported entirely by voluntary contributioni),
shall supply the means, assistance can beno longerafforded. The
parliamentary grants'are specially appropriated to the 'building
of additional churches, and in places where the population ex-
ceeds 4,000 persons, they cannot be applied to improve, enlarge,
or rebuild. These are the great objects of this society, and
these objects have been promoted with no inconsiderable success
dining the seven years of its existence. It has opened the
doors of the establishe4 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 donation of 1,0001. ; and the Com.
mittee cannot but indulge 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 various 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.
