THE Annual Report of the Society has just been published,
and contains much interesting information respecting
the spiritual statistics of the country, and the progress and
operations of the Society ; hut it will be seen by the state-
ments there made, that the Society is still unable to extend
its operations in consequence of the insufficiency of its pecu-
niary resources.

Within the last few months no less than 40 applications
for assistance, and many of them of a painfully urgent na-
ture, have on this ground alone been declined by the Corn
mittee.

The following are almost the last two cases in which aid
has been granted by the Society, viz.:--First, £lOO for a
curate to the incumbent of a very extensive parish in the
mining district of South Wales, containing a population of
19,000 souls, with only one church and minister, and the
income under £2OO per annum. The object of the grant
was to provide Sunday services in a licensed school-room,
cottage lectures, and increased pastoral visitation.
Second, £9O for a curate to the incumbent of an extensive
manufacturing parish, with a population of 15,000, with one
church and minister, who was upwards of 77 years of age,
with an income of about £2OO per annum. The object of
the grant was for additional services in the church, and for
week-day lectures in the hamlets, of which there were no
less than ten in number.
Notwithstanding the low state of the Society's funds, the
Committee could not but lend assistance in cases
a
dis-
tressing a nature, relying on the Christian sympathy
support of the friends of the Society.
