a MEETING held at LONDON 110 U SF 4,
-41 on Saturday, December 2, 1543. it was resolved to form
'an ASSOCIATION for PROMOTING. the. RELIEF 0
DESTITUTION, and for IMPROVING the CONIDITION
Af the poolt in the METROPOLIS, by MEANS of PA-
ROCHIAL and DISTRICT VISITING: and_after several
interine.liate meetings, it was resolved, on Saturday, De-
cember 16, to adopt and circulate the following Address ar.d
Regulations :
The object which this Association has in viewi s, not merely
to administer immediate relief in cases of extreme. dest it ution,
pr of pressing want, but to improve the social, moral, and
.re-
ligious condition of the poor, by means which have been tried,
en a limited scale, in certain districts, and which have been
uoce,,sful in proportion to the completeness of the system
hwhich has been put into operation, and the care with which it
as 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 dip future, is, to say the least of it, but a half
measure of charity, and has a tendency to generate or increase
the
es e very evils which' it- seeks to cure. An inquiry into the
f distress, and into the best means of preventing its
recur:enee, by infusing into those who labour under it sound
principles of action, and forming them to habits of economy,
1 terti
IndustrY, and foresight, is obviously necessary, to ensure to the
vons
in
al of benevolence their proper results. Mere liberality
msgi'inff, uoaccompanied by an endeavour to remove the
et!tuses of that destitution which calls it forth, will not answer
theses of Christian charity.
bi 's view of the.subject plainly implies the necessity of corn-
Tung religious and moral instruction with the relief of bodily
Ntvhsent, and of making the latter, as it were, a preparative for
of for making
. And, therefore, although the primary design
the Association is, to furnish the means of adrninisteri-g
tt,o i ie extreme necessity of the poor, after due inquiry into the
ardeuirostances of each particularcase, its ultimate object is, to
want 7 tremoving the moral causes which create or aggravate

Cergy is indispensable, and will be, under the Divine blessing,
effectual to these ends, if means are supplied for carrying on the
Rork, which is now so immeasurably beyond their strength
and resources. An Association, which aims at the attainment
of this object, may surely assert its claim upon the charity of
those whom Providence has entrusted with the means of doing
