THE SCRIPTURE .READEICS;AssociATIoN.---The
third annual meeting of this Association was held on
Friday at the ilanover-square Rooms, and was numer-
ously and fashionably attended, The Bishop of London
presided on the occasion, and in the course of his speech
dwelt with satisfaction on what the society had already,
accomplished, and on the prospects of its extended use-
fulness. When it first started it was Tooke-d upon as a
dangerous experiment, likely to introduce a new element
into the constitution of the Church, and to derange the
machinery of its parochial governtuent. The experiment,
however, had realised all his expectations as to its sue •
cess, and not one of the difficulties which it was appre-
hended would spring from it had arisen. The Scripture
readers had been found to act as a connectin
between the parochial clergy and the poorest o. link
classes of
their parishioners ; and from the spiritual destitution
which prevailed in the metropolis and other large towns,
he anticipated that the happiest results would be pro-
duced by the Association, which he recommended to
public support. The report for the past year, which
advocated the further extension thereof.
was read by the secretary, stated that the receipts of
the Association during that period were 3,385/., and the
expenditure 3,1821. After dwelling at some length, on
the benefits which had dready sprung from the labour:
Winchester and Lichfield, Sir F. Lawlev,
and other speakers, supported the claims of the Society ;
and reselutions of the usual character were adopted by
the meeting.
