WiNcuEsT En JULY .5. —The Twelfth Anniversary of the
for the education of the Infant Poor, on the
National ystem, was
was preached held at Winchester, on Tuesday, July 1.
A sermon S
at the Cathedral, for the benefit of
.
Hampshire ope_ety
by the Bev. H. fluntingford, Fellow of Win-
AleeB • ter Society, from 1 Cor. la chap. 08 verse. *" Be ye sted-
filst,unn'ioveable, always abounding in the iicirk of the Lord ;
for as much as ye know that your labour is not: in vain in the
Lord.,, The Rev. Gentleman defended, in a very able
the wisdom of the Society, in conducting the educe-
poor strictly according to the principles of the
church, contained in her excellent charges, by
the poor
conformity of its doctrines, with those of the holy
-'l:etta'ant:iouniesfrregh's. His impressive discourse was followed by a collet-.
Lion, amountingYto F. at the church doors. Alneeting was then
held at St. John's House, and a report made of the state of the
Society, from which it appear that there are 118 schools,
containing 8060 children,. instructing on the National sys-
tem in this county. It was stated that in the returns from the
schools in union, the beneficial effects of the introduction of the
system, both upon the children and their parents, are hi ninny
instances spoken of as already apparent ; and we cannot but re-
gard this as an earnest of a great moral change in the poorer
classes of society, which the blessings of sound religious-
' instruction are solikely to, promote. An excellent dinner of
meat and plum-pudding was provided, by Mrs. Aslicombe, for
the children, in the church,yarci, but a heavy shower of rain
interrupted the gratifying scene, which is usually presented on
this occasion. At four o'clock the friends of the Institution,.
Consisting of several of the Gentlemen and Clergy of the tower
and neighbourhood, sat down to a dinner at the George Inn, at
which the High Sheriff, E. Knight, Esq. presided, supported
by the very Rev, the Dean of Winchester, Sir T. Ileathcote,
Bart. F. L. Beckfortl, Esq. &c.—(Sonehampton Luminary,
July 7.)
