    preached from John xvii . 3 > OTf tne Importance of Rignt Apprehensions of f ~ Jod and of Jesus Christ ; as the foundation of every thing Vhat is important in faith , 6 r valuable in the practice of religion . — - There were two services in the day preceding ; one in the morning at Pont y defaid , another meeting house under the

    pastoral care of Mr . James , and the otfier in the afternoon , at lAvryn y Groes . In" the former ,. Mr . Peter Charles and Mr . Reers preached , and in the latter Mr . Benjamin Philips , of St . Clears , in Carmarthenshire . The society had the satisfaction of finding , on meeting together , that their exertion * had been

    crowned with the happiest success . It appeared that since their formation fn the year l ' 8 O 2 , between 4 and 5 , 000 Welsh Unitarian pamphlets had been circulated through the Principality ; and that , in consequence , Unitarianism , which was at that time confined to a few

    individuals , and to some parts only of South Wales , had been embraced by multitudes of serious Christians , and diffused generally through the southern part of the Principality . Several resolutions were passed by the Society , in consequence of the account of the Unitarian

    JTund having come into their hands , expressing their hearty approbation of , and entire concurrence with the plan and object of this institution . TTieir Secretary was instructed to open a correspondence with the Secretary of the Unitarian fund , and to prepare the way for the cooperation of the two societies . There is a great field for Missionary exertions in Wales , and if the friends of Unitarianism generally support , as we trust they will , the Unitarian Fund , there is the highest probability of tJqitarxanisni becoming the popular religion of Cambro-BritLsh Christians , our truly respectable and much esteemed brethren .

    UNITARIAN . FUND . —ft is with pleasure we inform the friends of this Society , who are also the readers of our Magazine , that its object is pursued with an unwearied zeal by the Committee , whose names are given to the world . It would be premature to enter into a detail of the operations of the society , as the

    Half-yearly meeting will be held in November , and then the Report of the Committee will be made public . We are permit ted * however , to state that the So * cjety * s prospects are in the highest degree flattering-, and that while at its first instituti on the chief difficulty seemed to consist in finding out a sphere of action , * tuz omlv pifj-ici / i-4 y now is rue

    entered upon the work of itinerant preaching with an ardour and a boldness which at once astonishes and delights it . In London likewise there arc several gentlemen who are active in the cuiarse , and who wait only for an opportunity of extending their labours . Some

    plans are in agitation whicn will call all the strength of the Society into action . The Society reflects , with particular satisfaction , upon the effort it is novf raaking to support a Unitarian congregation sn trie west of England , which is is- feared would , without some
