Divine service was introduced by the Rev . Mr . Hutton , of Walthamstow ; the Rev . Dr . Morell offered the general prayer ; and the sermon was preached by the Rev . W . J . Fox , the minister of the chapel . The
congregation was numerous and the collection nearly equal to that of any former year . — A very great impression was made upon the audience by Mr . Fox ' s eloquent vindication of the Society , and one of the first motions on the Society being * formed , was for a vote of thanks to the preacher , united with a request that he would lay his sermon before the public . The Treasurer ' s Report announced an increased expenditure

An abstract of the Committee ' s Report , which was of considerable length , is designed for separate publication and will appear in this work . The following gentlemen were chosen into office for the year ensuing , viz . JOHN CHRISTIE , Esq . Treasurer . REV . R . ASPLAND , Secretary .

Auditors . Mr . ALEX . HUTCHISON , Mr . JOHN TODHUNTER . Dr . Philipps , of Sheffield , was reported to have engaged to preach at the next Anniversary . A resolution was passed of warm thanks to Mr . Wright , now labouring as a missionary in Scotland ; and an- other resolution related to the loss sustained by the Society since the last Anniversary in the death of the Rev . W .

W . Vidler , who was from the first , the cordial friend , the zealous supporter , and , as
occasion served , the able missionary , of the Unitarian Fund , and whose praise is in the churches ; but that at the same time they congratulate the congregation on the goodness of Divine Providence , iu raising- up for them a successor to their late revered friend , animated by the same spirit , pledged to the same cause and already distinguished by his talents , his zeal and his success .
