THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of this
JL soc I ETY, held at the Freemasons Tavern on the 25th of
Nay, was numerous and most respectable.
The Report sheaved 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 £86,140 has been
i,istrumental in providing an increase of accommodation in Churches
at:l Chapels to the amount of 113,714 sittings. Of this number
al, ;48 are for the use of the poor. The assistance given by the Society
In, all but exhausted its filiances; and yet such is the increased and
iicreasing population of the country, that Church room to a much
greattr extent is still required. Applications are even more nu-
merous now than they were at any former period ; but unless the
'Public, whose aid is earnestly entreated, and on whom the Society
depend. (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
or adliti;mal Churches, and in places where the population exceeds
.4,(0') p,; sots;—they cannot be applied to improve, enlarge, or re-
build. These are the great objects of this Society, and these °bleat
bare been promoted with no inconsiderable success aura% 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
bar been graciously pleased to make a donation of aCI,OOO, 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
aadirional sitting. They can appeal to the good which has bees
already done in various places, by supplying the spiritual Wants of
the population. They may venture to say, that the intettists of re-
li;ion and morality cannot be more effectually promoted than by
the sepport and encouragement of this Society.
