      Annual Meeting- of the Unitarian Ministers and Tract Society in the West-Riding of Yorkshire . The Annual Meeting of tlie Unitarian Ministers in the West-Riding of

      Yorkshire , with their friends , and of tlie West-Riding Tract Society , was held at Halifax , on the 11 th of May . The Rev . Thomas Johnstone , of Wakefteld , c # iducted the devotional services ; and the Rev . Charles Wellbeloved , of York , preached a most admirable sermon from

      1 Tim . iii . 16 , which was eminently characterized by soundness of criticism , clearness of exposition , and close adherence to genuine scriptural Christianity . As Mr . Wellbeloved kindly acceded to the unanimous wish of the friends , who

      Secretary contained a satisfactory account of the operations of the Society , and urgent appeals for continued and increasing support . The Secretary took an opportunity of reading a letter which he had recently received from the Rev .

      W . Adam , dated Calcutta , Oct . 21 , 1824 , in which , after acknowledging the receipt of tracts sent the preceding year as a donation from the West-Riding Tract Society , be states , that an eligible plot of ground , in an open and central part of

      the city , had been purchased at the expense of about , £ 1250 , for the intended ' chapel . He adds , rather despondingly , that this was a greater sum than had at that time been subscribed , and that they were looking anxiously to finglaud , as

      * In consequence of the change from Augast to February , of the day for holding the Annual Meeting , the adjourned Meeting held on the 3 d March was , in fact , the Thirty ninth from the found ah tion of the College . :
