Kentish Unitarian Association . The Annual / Association of the Kentish U nitarian Baptist Churches , was held at Canterbury , on the 7 th of May last . An appropriate sermon was delivered by Mr . Pound , of Dover , from John iv . 38 : f < Other men laboured , and ye are !
_ .. •» ¦_ it rnL a-1 entered into their labours . The worthy preacher took occasion from these words to expatiate , in a forcible manner , on the necessity of making every possible exertion to promote that cause which had , under Divine Providence , been preserved and handed down to us by the instrumentality of our persecuted forefathers .
At the close of the public service , the business of the Association commenced ; Michael Kingsford , Esq ., in the Chair . Owing to the general feeling produced by the irreparable loss of a late venerable friend , Mr . Sampson Kingsford , whose constant exertions had associated his name more or less w ith every article which came under consideration , the
business proceeded with a kind of melancholy satisfaction ; for it could but be remembered , that the place of meeting had been the scene of his ministerial labours for more than fifty years .
Mr . Harding ' s Missionary labours amongst the Kent and Sussex Unitarian Baptist Churches , formed a prominent feature of the proceedings . This mission was set on foot by the friendly co-operation of the Committee of the Kent and
Sussex Unitarian Christian Association ; and it affords the writer great pleasure that he is enabled to announce the probable continuance of a plan which appears already to have done much in promoting
the cause of rational Christianity . Upwards of 70 ladies and gentlemen sat down to a frugal dinner at the Fleece Inn , and nearly 200 took tea , according to usual custom , in the chapel , and the whole dav was spent in Christian
harmony . The next Association will be held at Hessel \ s Green , near Seven Oaks , and we have the pleasure of adding , that Mr . ( iilckrht is requested to preach on the occasion .
