receive ^ his coiameudatkm . the ele ^ e of the . service , a meeting was holden for transacting the business of the Association , a report of the proceedings of the Committee during tlie past year was read , from which it speared that they were unable to continue the services of a Missionary beyond the period of his en *
gagemeut at the last Annual Meeting , viz . for three months ; but in the absence of so valuable an instruinenc for the dissemination of genuine Christianity , they endeavoured , according to their limited means to pursue other f ) Iaes for the advancement of their conanioi } cause , among which may be mentioned the publication of a tract addressed to a ' *
Clergyman resident near the town of Maidstone , ' ' in reply to his animadversions upon a Tract that had been previously published , entitled , " Facts relating to the Unitarian Controversy / ' and < c Serious Questions to all Lovers of Christian Truth , " by the Rev . B . Mardoru It contains , together with the facts in proof
of Unitariamsm , an ample reply to every statement which the Clergyman , ardently desirous of establishing the Trinitarian faith , was able to allege on that side of the question ; atid the great advantage which the author possesses on tire score
of talent and scriptural learning , and above all , of Christian liberality , will be sufficiently manifest from this pamphlet , which acquaints the reader with the substance of his opponent ' s argumeate , while the valuable information it
contains , in conjunction with its judicious reasonings , cannot but render it acceptable to our Unitarian brethren in general , and to all who take an impartial interest in a controversy of universal and primary importance . After the necessary Ihisiness of the Association , the friends
proceeded to the Star Inn , where a company consistiiig of both sexes , to the number of one hundred and twelve , dined together . Mr . Ellis , of Maidstone , presided on the occasion , and by his very efficient exertions contributed greatly to the enjoyment of the meeting .
