ST. Junes DISTRICT AND MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.
—The first annual meeting of this association was held on
Monday evening last week, in the school-room beneath St.
Jude's church. The Rev. J. B. Lowe, the incumbent, presi-
ded, and after singing and prayer, addressed the meeting.
Three declaratory resolutions, proposed and seconded by
Mr. Hubhack, Mr. Batty, the Rev. Mr. Wallace, Mr.
Benson, Mr. Pilcher, and Mr. Green, respectively, were
passed ; and, on the motion of Mr. Bainhrigge, surgeon,
seconded by Mr. Poole, a school committee for the en-
suing year was appointed. Thanks were voted to the
ladies and gentlemen who had kindly acted as district
visitors and Sunday-school teachers during the past year.
In making a few observations on the proceedings of the
meeting, at its close, the chairman, alluding to missionary
effort, said that nearly all our home associations owed their
origin to the interest which had been taken in the conver-
sion of the heathen abroad. He also referred to the
proposed great meeting in Liverpool in opposition to the
Maynooth grant, and bore his testimony, founded on ex-
perience, to the value of the labours of Scripture readers,
and to the permanent usefulness which had been eff, cted
by the St. Jude's Sunday schools. There were, he stated,
at the present time in the schools nearly 40f) scholars. A
