THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of this
Society, held at the Freemasons' Tavern, on tit' o 25th of
:day, was numerous and most respectable.
The Report *hewed haw much good the Society has been in-
strumental in effecting, wish means comparatively smalL It has
'made grants in 395 cases, and by the expenditure of 86,1401. has
been instrumental in providing an increase of accommodation in
Churches and Chapels to the amount of 113,714 sittings. Of this
.number $4,548 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 to a much greater 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 on
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 approptiated
to the building of additional Churches, and in places where the
population exceeds 4000 persons, 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 ex.
eluded from joining In its worship. Will not, then, the friends of
that Church come forward and enable the Society to continue les
useful exertions ? His Majesty has been graciously pleased to make
a donation of 10001. and the Committee cannot but indulge the
hope that the example of the Sovereign will be folielved by his
subjects In every rank of life, for every pound that is subscribed
will be the means of furnishing an additional sitting. They can
appeal to the good which has been already done in various places,
by supplying the spiritual wants of the population. They may
venttue to say. that the interests of religion and morality cannot
be more effectually promoted than by the support and encourage-
:met of this Society.
