frey ' s New Testament , " conformed to the text of Griesbach ; a translation which , from its not deviating from that in common use , except where the true meaning of doctrinal passag es renders it absolutely
necessary , is , perhaps , better suited for general distribution and popular use tliM " the "" IlT ^ mv ^ Fd ^ V ersionr ^^ our ^ Committee think that they may safely recommend that version for private perusal , as well as for distribution among the poor , as being , in many respects , preferable to that in
common use . Your Committee , having examined the Treasurer ' s accounts , are happy to state that the funds of the Society are in a satisfactory condition . In
delivering- up their trust into your hands , they entertain the hope that the state of the Society will afford you satisfaction , arid that the present meeting of its members will be productive of an increased zeal in its
support and encouragement to persevere in the good work of emancipating the minds of our brethren from prejudice and error , and building up ourselves and others in the knowledge of the true doctrines of
the Gospel . They cannot conclude their Report better than by urging you to increased exertion in support of this Society , in the words of an eloquent address , delivered before the Lancashire and Cheshire Tract
Society , by the Rev . Mr , Robjberds . " Thus , fellow-Christians , it appears that our Tract Society may be made useful for the promotion of genuine Christianity , and its proper accompaniments , Christian virtue and piety . Nor shall we whilst thus using it be merely the ministers of

The Twentieth Anniversary of the Eastern Unitarian Society was held at Framlingham , on the last Wednesday in June , and the following day . On Wednesday evening , the Rev . Henry Hawkes , of Norwich , introduced the service , and the Rev .
Henry Squire , of Yarmouth , delivered an interesting and practical sermon , on ¦"¦ * ¦ ' The Christian duty of avowing and extending out religious opinions , " from Luke xii . 8 , 9 . —> " After commenting on the noble
example of our Saviour ' s apostles , the preacher applied the words to the present state of Christendom , noticed some objections to active exertion in diffusing our peculiar sentiments , and showed the Christian ob «
ligation we are under to employ it . He suggested , in conclusion , the manner and the means by which this may be best effected ; recommending mildness and freedom from the unholy spirit of party , and preferring judicious conversation to either books or preaching for accomplishing the desirable end . "
After service , the friends from a distance , and many of the congregation , adjourned to the inn , where supper was prepared ; and the rest of the evening * was spent partly in social conversation , and partly in discussing" subjects of general interest , proposed at the time .
The next morning , the introductory part of the service was conducted by the Rev . Jerom Murch , of Diss ; and the Rev . Henry Hawkes delivered a sermon from Luke xiii . 7 , to show that Christian controversy was a universal reformer and friend
