ADDIIESS.

The extraordinary unanimity with which a Bill, grounded
upon the recommendatioa from the Throne, for the Build-
ing of Churches and Chapels, has just passed into a Law,
sufficiently attests. the existence and magnitude of the evil
which led to the formation of this Society, and recogpizes
the duty of all to exert themselves for its reined. It only re-
mains, therefore, for the'Committee, now that the provisions
of the Act are ascertained, to point out the present and pe-
culiar uses of this Society; and to vindicate its 'high claims to
the patronage of the Po hlic, by. a slight reference to the ex-
tent of That work, winch notwithstanding the bounty of the
Legislature is still left to.the piety of Individuals.
For this purpose it will he proper shortly to sate the limits
within which the operations of the Act are confined, and the
amount of claims which exist• within these limits.

The Parl!amentary Grant, it appears, can in no case go in
aid of any Parish, the population of which is short of 4000
persons), hoWever Lage its deEciency of church-count may be;
or of any Parish, however numerous its population, unless
there be 1000 perso.is resident more than four miles from the
Church, or the Parish contribute in a satisfactory proportion
to the charge of building a new Church or Chapel. At the
same time it is shrwn, from official returns, that there are, in
22 Dioceses only, not fewer than 250 Parishes, which, con-
t. icing in the vi bole about three millions of souls, without
church-room for one-seventh of such population, leave, in,
places within the regulatiocs of the Ac t , upwards of 21 mil-
lions actually shut out trim the means of attending upon the
services or the National Church.
Litt tt is in the multitude of Parishes (beyond those enti-
tled to share in the million of public money) in which Parlia-
mentary document's 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, mid the inert ase of accommodation in existing
Churches--a department altogether rut of the cJatemplation
of the Parliamentary vote, and in which mod rate aids may
bi- productive of the largest tetnrns, that tit . peculiar use-
fulness of the Society. will be most strongly t it.
ft is hianifest,-therefoie, that a Wirie ti td is open for the
exertions of the Society; a-ti most gladly do they enter opus
it, with the grateful declaration that they are now ready to
receive applications*, and appropriate their Funds agreeably
to the regalations of their Constitution, already before the
Politic, in the firm confidence, that as the Society has been
happilyinstituted with the patronage of the wise and goad of
all orders in Church and State, so it will be supported with a
zeal and liberality proportioned to the importance of its ob-
ject, and commensurate with the numerous calls which
he made upon its Funds.—June 18.18.
