AT a MEETING held at LONDON HOUSE,
on Saturday, December 2, 1843, it was resolved to form
an ASSOCIATION for PROMOTING the RELIEF of
DESTITUTION, and for IMPROVING the CONDITION
'lhe POOR in the METROPOLIS, by MEANS of PA-
inter and DISTRICT VISITING : and after severalo
mediate meetings, it was resolved, on Saturday, I) -.
It
cernber 16, to adopt and circulate the following Address and egnlations : -
The object which this Association has in viewi s, not merely
to administer immediate relief in cases of extreme destitudtion,
I),r cf pressing want, but to improve the social, moral, at
.red-
ugious condition of the poor, by means which have been trie ,
on a limited scale, in certain districts, and which have been
Weces.sful in proportion to the completeness of the system
hich has been put into operation, an 4 the care with which it
has been worked. It is obvious that to dispense pecuniary re-
lief indiscriminately, and with reference solely to the apparent
or actual necessity of the case, without inquiry as to the past,
or provision for the future, is, to say the least of it, but a half
meeasure of charity, and has a tendency to generate or increase
th very evils which it seeks to cure. An inquiry into the
causes of distress, and into the best means of preventing its
recurrence, by infusing into those who labour under it sound
PudnPiples of action, and forming them to habits of economy,
trY, and foresight, is obviously necessary, to ensure to the
!regions of benevolence their proper results. Mere liberality
I'l almsgiving, unaccompanied by an endeavour to remove the
cause of that destitution which calls it forth, will not answer
the itTl:equireraents of Christian charity.

bining religious and moral instruction with the relief of bodily
