THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETENG of this
-A- SOCIETY, held at the Freemasons' Tavern on the 25th of
May, was numerous and most respectable.
The Report shewed how much good the Society has been instru-
mental in effecting, with means comparatively small. It has made
grants in 395 cases; and, by the expenditure of £16,140 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 fur the use of the poor.Tbe assistance given by the Society
has all but exhausted its finances; and yet such is the increased and
increasing population of the country, t►at Church room to a much
greater extent is still required. Applications are even more nu-
merous now thin 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 appropriated to the building
of additional Churches, and in places where the population exceeds
4,000 persons—they cannot be applied to improve, enlarge, or re-
Maid. These are the great objects of this Socieey, and these objects
have been promoted with no inconsiderable success during the seven
years of its existence. It has opened the doors of the Established
Church to thousands who were before excluded from joining in its
worship. Will not, then, the friends of that Church come forward
and enable the Society to continue its useful exertions? His MAjesty
has been graciously pleated to make a donation of £l,BOO, and the
Committee Cannot but indulge the hope 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 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 venture to say, that the interests of re-
ligion and morality cannot be more effectually promoted than by
the support and encouragement of Ibis Society.
