mingham, where they make and send out many images, and
the other of marble ; and told that the brass one was the Holy
Virgin; and the other the child Jesus. The answer of the poor
native was conclusive. It was, that in his country both the
mother and'the child were always made of the same stuff. The
rev. gentleman, in eloquent terms, intreated the meeting and
his fellow Christians in their dealings with dissenters, to avoid
recrimination, and, after an eloquent address, which was

He said that he did not think it necessary to make any specific
'observations on.the precise manner in which the resolution was

couched. He proposed, in the first place, to give a short sketch
of the parent society; then he would state what the general
nature of its objects were, and then he would state what he
conceived to be its sphere of usefulness. The society was
formed in 1842, by a few young men of the narish of Wp.rgthorp_

London. In its first year, so ardent were these young men,
that .el6O was contributed by them. They soon began to con-
template a wider sphere of action, and they established the
Church and Foreign Missionary Society. In the year of 1844
they again proposed taking a wider range for their actions,

in their efforts to promote Christian troth. Then theytook the
idea of bringing in the •propagation society; but they had re-
fused to meddle with tractarianism, because it was a modern
thing. He, however, believed that to be the very reason why
the propagation society should have interfered with it; for in
his opinion, if it had been a thing of old standing, they might
have buried it in the tomb of all the Capulets. (Laughter and
cheers.) Then the young men said, if we are to assist you, we
shall have none but men who are evangelical in principle, Pro-
testant in feeling, and godly in their conversation and man-
ners. - (Cheers.) On this basis the present four societies were
banded together; and since then they had been moat suc-
cessful in God's cause; (Loud cheers.) All they wanted was
a good and efficient- clerical secretary, in order to insure
more than double the amount of success which had hitherto
