E ANNUAL REPORT 6F THE. HALIFAX. DIO-
CESAN COMMITTEE OF THE SOCIETY FOR PRO-

AIOTING CHKISTLAN KNOWLEDGE, FOR 1819.

The'Hali;ax Diocesan Committee have plea-
sure in presenting the following, it the rifth
An-
ttual Report of tbeiy proceedings:—
Althougli.some hide portion of the discourage-
went, which has glow!) ourof the general em-
barrassments of the times, has affected even their
humble efforts, they are thankful to be enabled,
at the close of another year. to 'assure all who
tike an interest in -the diffusion of Christian
Knowledge, that the (inlet progress of those int-
Put taut objects which prompt their .1 a hours and
their prayers, eontinut.s, under the blessing of
Providence, to afford them much .Comfort, and to
tkmand their livdy tratitude.

I. The Correspondence 'with tt.e. Patent So-
ciety, which has.heen toll oft oc.ouragement, from
the f-,rst tormation of this Committee, still cheers
their exertions and aniotaies their zeal.

Toe Annual Report 6st this Committee for the
year.ISIS ." obtained Abe -cordial and noqualified
approbation" or the Board in London.
As the benefactions of all members upon their
admission, and their yearly subscriptions also,
are the sole property pf the Parent Society, and
form those funds, by which they are enabled hum=
bly to endeavour to promote a knowledge pf the
Christian Religion through many regions of the
earth--the benefactions and. subsetiptions of all
the r►teiuhets within this Diocese, have been re-
gularly transmitted to London.
-
But• it was found that this Committee would:,
in con'ealurnce of such an arrangement, not only
bt• left k% itb.ont the means of paying their own
ordinaty local expellees, anal the premium upon
the bilk which are traosmitted to England,. hut
would also be unable to make any pro►ision for
tl;e graruitrrits supply -of:poor and remote settle-
ments and families,
,with. Bibles, Prayer. Books,
at;tl Religious Tracts, whieh always apptated to
be a most desirable object.
Under this difficulty they had recourse to the
benevolence of the ['.treat Society, who kindly re-
lieved their first embarrassment, by permitting
them to retain, for the payment of local expellees,
011-Ibiril of all collectio►►s in Churches, for the
purchase of. Books; and oft, all general contribu-
tions in Parishes or Settlen►ents, for the same put--
prise ; althotrgb these
.thirds were, by established
regulations, rite property the Parent Society,
and afforded very important help in meeting the
boundless demands which are daily made upon
their boon•y, both at home and abroad.

The other difficulty of this Committee was as
promptly. relieved by a gratuitous supply of Boot.e
from the Parent Society,. to the amount of 1001.
sterling, for distribution, wit hoot any charge, to
needy
.atid distant settlements and individuals.
And if it should be necessary, still farther relief
may he obtained by vitb,4 persons to lOin this
Qummitiee, as local members only ; and in this
ease, tl,ei , ye•arly subseriplions vviA he the pro-
perty of ihe Committee, which indeed is now open
for tbe admission of such members.

It is most gratityine, to leaf n, that notwith-
standing the extensive demands which are made
from every quarter upon the beufticence of the
Parent Society, their means of usefulness are not
diminished, -but, by the blessing of Providence,
increase with the calls upon them..
New friends are continn.illy coming forward to-
their assistance ; and in the last year they re-
c'eivecl a most munificent legacy of 20,0001. 3 per
cent. consols, in of their general designs, (tom
:he Rev. Edward Parkinson, late Rector of Leigha
in Essex.

At the request of this Committee, a valuable
addition to. their generel stock of hooks has been
forwarded from the Parent Society, and an ample
supply of the Family Bible, of •svitielt the sale in
this Diocese has already been very considerable.
Several new articles have also been added to their.
stock ; and a fresh catalogue of the whole, which
form a rich treasury of religious instruction, has
been prepared for distribution
The:names of twenty five new members have
been forwarded to England in the last year.
2. The Committee have the liveliest pleasure in
continuums to boar testimony to the enlargement
of the several District Committees in different
parts of this Diocese ; to their unabated zeal; and
to the increase of their usefulness.
The Committees at Fredericton and St. John's
in New Brunswick, under the immediate and most
zealous patronage of his Excellency the Lieute-
nant-Governor of that Provioce, have already
become, by a great accession of new Members, so
extensive, and have had need of so large a supply
of books, that they considered it more conve-
nient., especially as it would save them much
time, to open a direct communication with the
Parent Sorety, and ,receive some of their supplies
immediately troM London,' instead of procuring
the whole from this Committee. "r he cause of
this change will be vet y gratifying tb every Mem-
ber of the Society, especially as care has been
taken to guard aceainst the necessity for any sepa-
ration from the Diocesan Committee. Indeed; the
inost affectionate intercourse is kept up between
all the Committees, and no endeavours are want-
ing ;o make their cordial co-operation extensively
useful.. Their stock of books is
.very ample, and
easy of access to several surrounding parishes,
and individual Members of the Society, who gladly
avail theMselves of the facilities thus afforded for
obtaining such supplies as they require„• The de-
mand is very considerable already,.and is likely to
increase daily.
-At St. Andrews the Committee which had been
particularly distinguished by their activity, were
some time in recovering from the loss they-sus.
taiped, in the death of the venerable Rector 'of
that Parish, and several other valuable IlflemherS ;
and the delay that arose in obtaining a soccesaor
to the•living, as well as some little local diflimil-
tiel,.checked the exertions of the Committee for
a season. These difficulties are now happily rc-
Moved, 'and the Committee are again in active
operation tinder the valuable superintendeace of
the present Rector.

Of that Colony. They have favoured the Do'ss-,
'san CoMmittee with particular minutes of their
pimieedings from time to time, which allord, ho-
nourable testimony to .the existence of the same
zeal and regulasity w itb which they began their
course. Thii Committee have also received seve-
ral supplies 'of Books.
3. The Distribution of gooks and Tractt from
the stores at Halifax has hardly been So extensive
as in a former year, not because the demand can
!laic been much lessened by former supplies, for
an extensive circulation is generally found to in-
crease the call for them ; but pattly, it is to be
tented, from the difficulty which may be expe-
rienced in many places, in making payment for
them, and partly on account of the direct impor-
tations to New Brunswick by the Distlict Com-
mittees there. .
listt notwithstanding these circumstances the
distribution has,been very considerable. Besides
isomerism gratuitous supplies to sma:l settlenseois
and individuals, the wants of various places have
been more abundantly satit.fied. Through the
benevolence of his Excellency he Right Honour-
able the Earl of Dalhowie, a supply of Books to
the Bulimia of 201. has been t:orwarded to the rico/
military settlement of Dalhousie at his Lordtihip's
ixpence, adThtion . to partial di3ltibolions of
Sooks on a mote limited scale by the Reverend
John Millidge of Annapolis. when ‘mployeri Upon
pastoral visits to, this settlement in the midst of
the Forest. -
An assortment of valuable books has also been
forwarded to the new military settlement of Sher-
brooke, near Chester, at the expeoce of the So-
ciety for the Propagation of the Gospel.
A Collection .has been made its the ChurCh of
St. Paul at Halifax to the amount of 39f- 5., 2,1.
for the supply or.B!soks to the Poor of the Parish.
atnouoting to 3(31. Is. qd:, has
also been madeirt the *Church of. Trinity at St.
John's, Nevi Brunswick, fora similar puipose iu
that Parish.

_Smaller collections and subscriptions have been
made at differeut times in other places, ti oar which
a particular statement tilts not yet been forwarded.
Fredericton, Xingston,' St. Andrews, and Sack-
vine, in New Brunswick, and Annapolis, Gra47t-
vale, Yarmouth, Chetcr and Gup' horou3li in this
Province, and Charlotte Town in Pi ince Edward
Island, and Sydney in Cape Breton, are to be dis-
tinguished among. these--arid even the scattered
settlements on Margaret's Bay, ‘allere there is
neither Church nor Minister,. although' the people
are anxiously desirous Of both, have lately *sent
forward their little subscription of Di. Is., as their
fire! effort to supply themselves with hooks.Of re-
ligious instruction.
The Committee earnestly recommend the repe-
tition of these collections and subscriptions in all
plates where their "benefit has already been felt—
and an imitation of their example to all other pa-
ri?lies and settlements.

the whole, in a more favourable state than they
were at the date of thc; last Repcirt.
