MEETING OF THE COLONIAL CHURCH AND

SCHOOL SOCIETY-LAST

A meeting of this society was held last night, in the
school-room of St. James's Church, to receive an addre9s
from the secretary pro. tern., and to take measures to
advance the efficiency of the society.
The meeting was not very numerous ; a circumstano
which, we fear, reflects somewhat upon the local Fart
nagement, whose exertions, if actively put forth, VP'
have raised a full attendance of sympathizers in, and Or
porters of, a cause so important as the spreading of the
Gospel amongst our brethren in the numerous and dts.
taut colonies attached to this country.
The Rev. W. Rawson was in the chair; and amongst
the clergy present were the Rev. J. H. Jones, H. Han"
ton, W. Brewster, R. G. Foot, C. A. Graham, T.
Birks, and H. Deck.
The Rev. H. HaDarront introduced to the meeting thee,
claims of the society upon a Christian community. I_4'
object was to supply clergymen and catechists to o‘ll
various colonial possessions, to provide schools
schoolmasters, and, in short,. to provide for the mass 01
the population leaving our country for colonial settle'
ments, the religious teaching given to them in their oil
land. The rev. gentleman described the extensive flan
of labour which the society desired to occupy, and advo•
cated its objects in a very affecting address.
The Rev. H. DECK, secretary to the Parent Societif
then addressed the meeting, and explained the operationsg
of the society in our various colonies. In the course 0'
his observationo he dwelt upon the severity
ill-re-
munerated services of the labourers in, the cause ; and
contrasted strongly with this state of things the efficient'
of the Romanist missionaries in every gnarter of the,
globe. We were, at this moment, along with the rest 01
the country, protesting strongly against Papal Aggression;
but he thought that the true mode of showing our anti-
pathy against the spread of Popish doctrine, was to Or
11
port a society like this, which had for its principal opPo-
nents, the Papists—directly encouraged and supported
the Colonial-office. and

The Rev. T. R. BIRICS succeeded the previous speaker,
and advocated the cause-of the Society in a most apPr°:
priate address, of which, however. we regret that we 1,...,7.8'7:
neither space or time to give even the substanoe.
are• sorry to have to acknowledge that there was- an ev''
dent coolness throughout the proceedings, a feelin4.
which we have always observed on similar occasions 01
ill-filled meetings. The speakers, however, at thieineet'
ing, were earnest in their tone, as much indeed as if ther
were addressing a crowded audience.
