The SOCIETY far the PROPAGATION-of the
-GOSPEL ii; FOREIGN PARTS,

This excellent Cor!no-roion has just pnWished
the- Annual Sermon w',icir %vas preached before
the Members, by the Lord Biship of Pete' burnutzh,
in Febrtrary last. I is one of the soundest, most
rational, arid admirable niscoursei we ever read,
and cannot fail to mike a deep and lasting on-
pressor!' on all true Chti•oians. The conclusiAn
of rt is so inkpressive, and so trul) eltararter4sia
ot. the doctrines tied spirit of the Churvii of i 0g..!
chat we cannot retrain from t;ml.4eribi•-:.; it.
After•.pOinting out the obli:zation :•upos-d or us,
io vtirions'pailt of the Scripture,, t" 1),"nlot( the
diffusion of the knowledge Fild blessings jut C4rts--
tianity, this etnii,ent and dignified Pielate cant
eludes:— • • -

• " Onr duty., t4:41: plain to be mistaken;
and too inspr,ii.- to be neglected. Since •
icno‘7,,,kr..ge, like all other kiiow.ledge, is le(t
to be commit' 'cared by tie inskrutu.ntalif-y of
man, .it behoves • us
.wisciyand strenuous.y to
sustain the part assigned to its, subitiisionto
the Divine Wid,
.and in furtherance of the Divine
Purpose. Jo titling this, .let us take the Aisto.lies
of Christ ft.,. our model; Always making a just
allowance for the momentous difference of cir-
cumstances and of times ; fur they aged wider
a special mission from Heaven. They' vL:ere cu.
dovhed with special and extraordinGiy.powers, of
which `.they afforiiied-• sensible demonwrati..ns•—
They were not unfrequently taught by the parti-
cular suggestions of the Ult;ly Spit it, where to em-
ploy, and where to withhold their efforts.

" He cvho. now endeavours to pr,,mote the
Propa&ion of the Gospel', ‘vhvth.er hy hi, pecti
niary aid, or by his own personal'exertioni, can-
not expect these extraordinary directiotls front
above. This would be wool 'unwarrantable pre-
sumptioth . •

" We must incleeiL still humbly rely on the
blessing of tie Almighty, and on the gracious in•
fliience of the Holy spirit, for of our
labours ;_ and, whatever be the •success of those
tabours, to Him we mast ascribe the glory. Yet
iii speaking either of our own exertious, or of
the effect produced by them, never Shool4 we ap-
ply to ourselves expressions or passages of Holy.
Writ; -wiled), hporopriated to The Apostolic Age.,
and to the,first inspired teachers of the Gospel.
Thus, to•fmitate the condo-et of Fanaticism. by-a
gross misapplication of Sciiptural Language,
would disgrace and injure our cause.
Let-ms,- therefore, steadily pnrsne ottr course
of duty, with-.a zeal enlightened by knowledge,
and tempo-ed with discretion ; -without pretend-
lug. to• special seeompli::!one:•.ts of Prophecy,
bionic!) about 'out hill par icotar -45pmey
and without daring to assume, that the etit-,•ts uk
our own hest efforts, or the result of our own
mightiesd comhi.iations, is the direct .and
itnlne-
elate work of God.
" While the thus trust, with unshaken confi-
dence, in the-promises of the Most High, and
faithfully endeavour to discharge the obligations
lle has imposed on us, let us leave the e‘eot to
Him—ever remembering that just and dignified
rebuke -of the meek- and Holy Jesus, whet' his
Disciples impatiently ititi,red, Lord, wilt lion,
at this time, restore again the kingdom to Israel ?
It is not for you to know the times or the &Calla,
which the Father !lath lint in ,ills own power."'
• In goiag through the .proceedings of- the So-.
ciety, we notice with much pleasure the exten-
sion and success of its labours, especially in Nova
Scotia, where the establishment of the Madras
System of Education has been adopted.and much
approved._ _

The Society has likewise voted the further sum
of 2001. towards rebuilding the Church at Car-
bortoer, in Ne“toundland, and also the :of
100/. towards rebuilding -th-e Church at Triojty
Bay, in the saule Settlement. It has likewise
given 2001. towards :the completion. of the Church
-at Honduras. •

In various other parts of their, proceedings, the
Public will find much to commend and encourage,
and we flatter ourselves, that the incident.' cir-
cumstances; winch recently- !mot-iglu this -venerable
Institution more ltt•otnineut•y itrtu notice, will, be
attended with the most. beuefieial effects. Al.
ready a great increase has been made in the with-
her of it Menihers-.,and we are convinced, that
*from the discreet, prudent and • cauti!ms toith.•
ner in which the concerns of this Corpora-
tion are regulated 'and managed, it is de-
serving of the' support and eneourngement of
Christians of -all -denominations. ‘Ve strongly
recommend this interesting account of the Society
to the attention of our Readers. We it-mitt-stand
that the Society has received some. import ent com-
munications from that eminent Divine the Lord
Bishop of Calcutta, and the Society heing im-
pressed with the necessity which there exists to
give effect to his Lordship's correct and enlight-
ened views on the topics to which these con,m..
nications relate, his, with accustomed , libe-
rality, placed the sum of 50001 at the disposal of
the Bishop of Calcutta, in. whose abilities, pro-,
deuce, and discretion, the Society has time utmost
confidence. , .

IVe cannot 'close,these remarks without offering
onr thanks, and those of the Public, to his Grace
the Arclibi§hop of .Canterbury, for his 'constant,
unifoi in, and indefatigable exertions in promoting
the west objects of -this Curporation.

The alterations and
_additions making to the
Pavilion at Br,ghton, it is B ispito,uo, 4:alma! be
completeiy•finished in-a shorter period than one
year. Till then, his Royal Iliglinss,on his
casional visits, will reside in the range of,,huild.
lugs, which communicate with the Royal grounds
