    in giving full effect to their exertions ; and I do hope that the Committee for the ensuing year , will occupy itself in devising some plan , for the effectual promotion of this object . I am sure that all who heard our

    Missionary , must be convinced of his feeling and judgement , and that we could not have employed a better agent / Mr . Taylor then reverted to the more immediate object of the Resolution ; and explained the nature of

    the Trust formed by the Unitarian Book Society , for printing an improved version of the New Testament , from time to time , and proposed the following-Resolutionr With the view of having the matter fully brought before the Committee of the

    Association , it was seconded by Mr . Alexander of Yarmouth . 9 . That this Association having , by a resolution at its first meeting , and by the seventh regulation for conducting the Book Department , adopted , and undertaken ' * to carry into effect , the
