CHURCH-RATES, POOR-LAWS,'AND
..: RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
At a MEETING of the COMMITTEE of " The PROTES-
TANT SOCIETY for the PROTECTION of RELIGIOUS
IA HERTY," held on Tuesday. April 20th, 1841, at the
King's Head Tavern, in the Poultry. London,
JOHN WILKS, Esq., in the Chair,
It was unanimously Resolved,
I. That to the subject of Church Rates this Coretnithee
again advert, with even augmented anxiety Mgt Min rt, Id
against them they have often rethotletfetOdl :: hojest in prin-
T.P!e —as oppressive to Dieletttere and Methodists- and as pro-
Ottetiee of local disunion, parochial cit., rd crelly and vexa-
totir
thselltrittion, and
',:.-net iniprisOnmenTsuand distress. That
l' ' -.,,i,existence in Scotland, and th( it abrogation In
"lattd, they had been taught to believe that thee ii-eee not
talolltitil even to the worship and weltlire of any Established
711uroi ; anti that by the votes of the House of Commons, anti
the successive measures of the Parliamentary leaders of both
Parties in the legislature, they had been encteiraged to hope
A:441 they would long since have ceased to exist. But that
7aappointed in these hopes—indignant at the measures taken
„11. the Ecclesiastical Courts—aroused by the incarceretidn et
"a• Therogbod arid Mr. Bainet-o.tfonish&l et ihb he* per.
leitititis in *hith the et ate lif thh I,t* relatingqo them seems
iveit,ly iiiiolV4l-nti excited by the hostile spirit, as to
lr•liiillo'Mon and enforcement, which the high-church-party
~4Oltioilally display, they cannot but co-operate with the ac-
:r,'. en:ightened, and conscientious, throughout England and
'ales, in opposing their continuance ; and will again petition
thev House of Commons for their immediate and total aboli-
tion, And that the Petition now read be adopted, be signed
ithe Chairman, and be presented by Alderman Sir Matthew
,°,0,1, Bart., M.P., their estimable and well-tried friend and
ceneague.
2. That this Committee must always consider the possession
of Religious Freedom as au ihva'uabte privilege, to which all
;.r.,°, , ntitled—and which rm. men, as well as princes, should
'Y enjoy ; and that they regard with apprehension and regret,
!,T1 those raeirsures converted with the new system of
""law", and the provisions in the Bill depending
Ili l'arliament, by which thaplains and schoolmasters
connected with the E§tablisheti Church are exclusively to
13'; pplitte; iiid ife tb be paid out of rates to
'q* Min:ElintiiAisil, and every class of Dissenters are
reik lit itoiltrilinte ; by which also the poor, resident in
'i
li 4:...0u.e5, are compelled to unite in services which they
;'.lsapprove—and are prevented from freely attending the re-
°Zious worship they conscientiously prefer ;—and by which
the education of children, separated from their parents, and
to be trained up to the creed and forms of the Church, may
be converted into a means of pain-inflicting and sectarian per-
secution—inconsistent with benevolent feelings—with liberal
Princioles—and the most sacred rights. And,
3. That on a general survey of the lofty claims and un-
lthdly conduct recently asserted and pursuea by many Reve-
rld Members of the Established Church—and of the disposi-
jtdh matilkSted to treat Dissenters and Methodists with con-
‘l4,rty and wrong, anti to extent and aggravate, rather than
,Ovnove or diminish, all the grievances of which they corn-
4,—this Committee become additionally convinced, that
e Union of that Church with the State will ere long become
jlrt evil too obnoxious to be endured ; that unslumbering gi-
'4se—combined and augmented zeal —and universal well-di-
rested efforts on the part of all friends to Religious Liberty, are
' hidi.pensably needful, and should not be delayed ; and that in
tech exertions this Committee will cheerfully and firmly concur.
JOHN WILKS, Chairman.

This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more weathy, viz.:-
Ist. Insurii.g their lives in slims from 51. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age ; Weex.y
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums beirr, divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 101. to 100/., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 20/. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included_
The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the offico, 351,
Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.
