THE object of this Society is to increase the means of
pastoral instruction and superintendence at present
possessed by the Church, and in order thereto to provide
a fund for the maintenance of Additional Clergymen to
be employed as Licensed Curate? where there services
are most required in England and Wales.
During the past year, thirty-three fresh
grants have
been made towards the support of additional Curates, and
four grants in aid of Endowment. By these grants,' to-
gether with those of previous years, aid has been extended
to 150 parishes or districts, and additional pastoral super-
intendence provided for an aggregate population of
1,299,000, averaging nearly 9000 for the population of each
parish or district assisted. The Society IS now pledged to
the full extent of its income for the present year, whether
derived from donations or subscriptions.
In addition to the above, forty-six urgent outstanding
cases have received assistance, underspecial circumstances,
which, however, cannot be continued beyond the end of
three years, unless, in the meanwhile, the Society's per-
manent income shall have beenso augmented, through the
exertions of the friends of the Church, that the Committee
shall be justified in placing these parishes upon the So •
ciety's standing list.
The Committee, having thus fully pledged the Society's
income in existing grants, cannot but feel a deep anxiety,
not only to fulfil all their present engagements, but to ex-
tend the Society's aid to the other places from which ap-
plications have been received, whenever the requisite aug-
mentation of its income shall enable them so to do. 208
cases still remain unaided, through want of funds, of which,
184 are applications for additional Curates, and 24 for
Grants towards the endowment of poor Benefices. They
trust that the urgency and importance of these claims, in-
volving the best interests, both temporal and eternal,of
so many thousands of our fellow-creatures, will be the
means of eliciting the liberal contributions of a Christian
people, and of enabling this Society to place the benefits of
our Holy Church within the reach of the untaught and
ignorant multitudes of our home population.
N.B- The nature of the object which the Society is
intended to effect, makes it very desirable that as large an
amount as possible of ANNUAL Subscriptions should
be obtained.
Donations and Subscriptions may be paid to the ac-
count of the Treasurer, at Messrs. DRUMMOND'S, Cha-
ring-cross; Messrs. HOARE'S, Fleet-street; and Messrs.
WILLIAMS, DEACON, and Co., Birelfn-lane ; to the Col-
lector, Mr. HENRY STRETTON, 67, Lincoln's-inn-fields ;
or at the Office, 4, St. Martin's-place, London.
N.B. ANNUAL Subscriptions are considered to be
due at EASTER in each Year.
An Account of the Proceedings of the Society, and
Forms of Application, may be obtained at the Office, No.
4, ST. MARTIN'S-PLACE, TRAFALGAR-SQUARE,LOndOn.
