Walker commenced the morning service with prayer and reading the Scriptures ; Mr . Cree assisted him in the devotional part of the service ; and Mr . Maurice , of

Teggiu , and the congregation was agaiu favoured with the services of Mr . Maurice . The subject of his second discourse was the following : "And Jesus answered and said unto him , What wilt thou that I should do unto thee ? The blind
man said unto him , Lord , that I might receive my sight . " At the meeting held for transacting the business of the Society , at the close of the morning service , it was resolved , that the next meeting be held at Tauntou , on Tuesday , August 31 st .
A numerous party of friends to the Association dined together in public , as usual . Mr . Maurice kindly presided , and gave much interest to the friendly meeting by his able discharge of the president ' s duty , and his judicious remarks on the objects contemplated by the
Association . Several other gentlemen also addressed the company ; and it was resolved that the following subject should be discussed in the afternoon of the next day of meeting : What are the best means of promoting Unitarianism in the counties of Somerset and Dorset ?

Friends * Meeting-house , to learn the detail of the plan , and , if approved , to form a Committee for carrying it into execution in this town and neighbourhood . At this meeting were present several members of the Unitarian
Society , anxious and prepared to lend their aid to any liberal and comprehensive scheme for the more general education of the children of the poor . Upon this occasion Mr . Wilson enlarged much upon the plan , as oue in which all religious sects and parties might unite for the attainment of a common good ; yet his expressions were so guarded , that some of his Unitarian auditors could not
repress a suspicion that they were not to be admitted within the pale of the association . To put an end to ail doubts , a deputation of the teachers of the Unitarian Sunday-School sought an interview with Mr . Wilson , which was acceded to , and took place at Messrs . Thompson and Parker ' s . The conversation having
been commenced on the part of the deputation by thanking Mr . Wilson for having given some small books to several of their scholar * , whom he had seen assembled at the door of their meetinghouse , which they considered as a proof of his good-will , they proceeded immediately to state the object of their visit . In answer Mr . Wilson observed ^ that " Unitarians or Socinians were not
ALLOWED TO JOIN THE UNION , BECAUSE THEY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE CHRIST , DENIED THE ATONEMENT , AND WERJE IN MOST DANGEROUS ERROR : but the Catholics were admissible , because , though a corrupt church , they were Christians .

education on the broadest principle , and had besought for it the support of all religious denominations , " Mr . Wilson replied , * Yen , for religious education—F did not mention any exception , through . fear of giving offence , but I am the Agent of t \ ie Parent Committee , and though
