SOCIETY •FOR PROMOTING THE ENLARGEMENT'
AND BUILDING OF CHURCHES AND CHAPELS.
PATROIII,
His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK.

sassitopm,
His Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY.
THE ANNUAL GENERAL M EETING ;of this
Society, held at 'the Freemason' Tavern, on the 25th of
May, was numerous and most respectable.
The Report Stewed how much good the Society has been in-
strumental in effecting, whir means comparatively small. It has
made grants in 395 cases, and by the expenditure of 118.140/. has
been instrumental in providing an increase of accommodation In
Churches and Chapels to the amount of 113,714 sittings. Of this
number 84,548 are for the use of the poor. The assistance given
by the Society has all but exhausted its finances ; and, yet, such is
the increased and increasing population of the country, that Church.
room ton much greatir extent is still required. Applications are
even more numerous now than they were at any former period
but unless the Public, whose aid is earnestly entreated, and is
whom the Society depends (for it is supported entirely by voluntary
contributions), shall, Supply the means, assistance can be no longer
afforded. The Parliamentary Grants are specifically appropriated
to the building of additional Churches, and in places where the
population exceeds 000 perions, they cannot be applied to improve,
enlarge, • or rebuild.,.. These are the great objects of this Society,
and these objects have been promoted with no inconsiderable suc-
cess during the seven years of its existence. It has opened the
doors of the Established Church to thousands who were before es-
eluded from joining in its worship. Will not, then, the friends of
that Church come forward and enable the Society to continue its
elegiac:onions? His Majesty.bas been graciously pinged tomtits
ellends• of 1003!. and the Committee cannot but indulge the
bye that the example of the Sovereign will be followed by his
subjects in every rank of life, for every pound that is subscribed
will,be the mean* of furnishing an additional sitting.. They can
appeal to the good which has been already done in various platsl
by supplying the spiritual wants of the population. They May
vesture to say, that the interests of religion and motility cannot
be liars effectually promoted thin by the support • and encourap-
