    sociatioi ) . At the same lime it was resolved , " that it be earnestly recommended to the members of the several congregations individually , through their respective ministers , to increase , if possible , the amount of their direct contributions to the general Association 5 " a resolution which , it is sincerely hoped , may be so effectually acted upon as to leave still undiminished by this unavoidable alteration in the disposal of our funds the amount of the contributions from the district to a society of such general and extensive usefulness as the British and

    Foreign Unitarian Association . In the afternoon the members and friends of the Society dined together at <\ u economical table , to the number of fifty-one ; Mr . Higginson , Jun ., the minister of the Hull congregation , in the Chair . Many able aud animated addresses were delivered by the ministers and others who were present . Among the speakers were the Revds . E .

    Higginsou , of Derby ; R . K . Philp ; W . Worsley , Gainsborough ; W . Duflield , J . Platts , Doncaster ; Thomas Johnstone , Wakelield ; G , Lee , Hull ; G . Lee , Jun ., Boston ; ^ in several of whose addresses a prominent feature was , the hopeful anti - cipation of yet brighter days for religious truth and freedom founded upon a grateful acknowledgment of the valuable tributes recently paid by our legislature to the claims of conscience . .

    In the evening a third religious service was conducted in the chapel by Mr . Jobnstonc , and Mr . Higginson again preached . His text was Eph . vi . 24 , " Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity . " All the public services on the occasion were very well attended ; and there appears to be only one feeling among the members of

    the Association as to the utility of their frequently recurring general meetings , in procuring for themselves the support of mutual encouragement and co-operatiou , and at the same time in exciting a wider interest in our doctrines , and allaying the prejudices with which they are regarded among our fellow-christians of other denominations .
