Morell , of Brighton , preached before the Society on the Signs of the Times as Favourable to the Dissemination of Moral and Religious Truth , from Matt , xvu 3 : " Can ye not discern the signs of the times" ? The sermon is to be published by private subscriptions : the funds of the Society are too small to employ any part of them in printing sermons .
The lecture , in the evening , at the High-street Chapel , was delivered by the Rev . T . W , Horsfield , from John xviii . 32 : " The truth shall make you free . " The service was numerously and respectably attended .

Though the Society has lost some of its valuable members by death and other causes—among whom it deeply regrets the late most estimable and Rev . Wm . Blake , of Crewkerne—it has found others disposed to occupy their places : so that the Society may be considered as flourishing in its finances , as it is successful in leading men to detect and forsake the errors of their catechistical creeds .
