ADDRESS.

The .extraordinary unanimity with which a Bill, grounded
upon the recommendation front the Throne, for the building
of Churches and Chapels, haS just passed into a Law, suf-
ficiently attests the existence and Magnitude of the evil
which led to the formation of this Society, and recognises
the duty of all to exert themselves fur its remedy. It only
remains, therefore, fur the Committee, now that the pro V-
isions of the. act are ascertained, to point out the present and
peculiar uses of this Society; and to'vindicate its high claims
to the patronge of the Public, by a slight reference to the
extent of that work, which, notwithstanding the bounty of
the Legistatnre, is still left to the piety of individuals.
For this purpose it will be proper shortly to 'state the limits
within which the operations of the Act are confined, and the
amount of claims Which exist within these limits.

The Parliamentary Grant, it appears, can in no case go in
uid of any parish, the population of which is short of 4000
persons, however large its deficiency of church-room may
he ; or of any parish, however numerous its population, in
winch there is accommodation for one-fourth of such popu-
lation, utiles there be 1000 persons resident more titan four
miles from the Church. At the same time it is sliewn, from
official returns, that there are, in 22 dioceses-tmly, 'not fewer
thaiv2sJ parishes, a inch, containing in the whole abwit'three
millions of souls without church-roogu fur vile-seventh of
such population, leave, in places within the regulations of
the Act, upwards of two and a half millions actually shut out
from the means of attendiug upon the services of the National
Church. .

But it is in the multitude of parishes (beyond those enti-
tled to share in the million of -public money) in which Par-
liamentary documents exhibit a deplorable deficiency of
church-room, and an almost equal need of pecuniary help,
that the necessity,for the supplemental labours of this society
is most firmly laid. And it is in promoting the enlargement
of the Building, and the increase of accommodation in exist-
ing Churches—a department altogether out of the contem-
plation of the Parliamentary vote, and in which moderate
aids may he productive of the largest returns, that the pecu-
liar usefulness of the Society will be most strongly felt.
It is manifest, therefore, that a•wide Geld is open for the
exertions of the Society; and most gladly do they enter upon
it, with the grateful declaration that they are now ready to
receive applications*, and appropriate their funds agreeably
to the regulations of their Constitution, already before the
Public, in the' firm confidence, that as -the Society has been
happily just.tated with the patronage of the wise and goad of
all orders in Church and State, so it will be supported with a
teal and lib4rality proportioned to the importance of its ob-
ject, and commensurate with the numerous calls which will
be made upon its Funds. •
