The Second Anniversary of the Irish Unitarian Christian Society was held , in Dublin , on Sunday arid Monday , April 29 th and 30 th . On the afternoon and evening of the former day , the Rev . George Harris , of Glasgow , preached in the ; rae ^ tjrig ^ ojdses of Eustacestreet and Strand-street . His hearers
will long remember his beautiful and impressive exhibition of Unitarian Christianity in its relation to the social and individual improvement of man ., ~ 0 n Monday ,-April ~ 30 th , ~ the Annual General Meeting of the Society was held in Strand-street meeting-house . The attendance was more numerous than at the last annual
meeting , and the interest awakened not less deep . At one o ' clock : the chair was taken by Joseph Hone , Esq . The Report of the Committee having been read , was adopted . We can only give the following extracts ; : —

When the probability is remembered that , without the agency of the Society , no appreciable number of these would have found their way into the / cbuntry , its influence in creating , as well as supplying , a demand for religious information , will not be pronounced insignificant .

in their character . They would especially call your attention to the supplement , comprising books peculiarly adapted to the young ; and would express their hope that it may aid parents in imparting to their children , in no unattractive ^ form , the "devotiohar influences of a scriptural faith .
