    in the Christian church ) and more especially those indications of a want of charitable indulgence and brotherly feeling , which are frequently manifested towards themselves . " Mr . John H ^ rland , of Hull , seconded the resolution . The Meeting concluded , as it had commenced , with singing and prayer . It was highly satisfactory to observe the numerous audiences collected both at the religious services and at the Friday evening ' s meeting , as evincing an unabating interest on the part of Unitarians iu the well-being of their religious body , and as shewing a disposition , on the ffart of their fellow-christians of other denominations , to inquire candidly , and judge fairly , respecting the doctrines bo much misrepresented .

    and the Rev . Edward Talbot , of Tenterden , offered up the general prayer . The sermon was preached by the Rev . Edward Tagart , of York-Street Chapel , London . Tlie text was Acts iv . 32 , " And tlie multitude of them that

    believed were of one heart and of owe soul . * ' From these words the preacher took occasion to point out vvliat ought to be the objects of a Christian Association , and what were the duties of its members . In his discourse , he alluded to Dr . Channmg ^ s " Remarks on the Disposition which now prevails to form Associations , and to accomplish all Objects by Organized Masses . " He mentioned tlie

    objections "brought against many associations by this powerful writer and independent thinker , and shewed that none of them applied to the institution , the anniversary of which we had met to celebrate ; the practical exhortations at the close of the discourse could not fail

    to be highly beneficial , being founded on reasons which brought conviction to the mind . The sermon was preached to a numerous and very attentive congregation , and as there were individuals present of almost every sect and party , it is

    to be hoped , that even those of opposite sentiments who were there , would learn to respect our motives in thus assembling together ; our object being to bear an open testimony to what we believe to be the truth s and to vindicate for every one the right of doing the same .

    After the religious service , Mr . T . Pine , of Maidstone , was called to the Chair , and the business of the Association was transacted . The Committee in their Report stated that two Societies , Headcorn and Biddendeti , had received considerable assistance in consequence of the combined labours of neighbouring ministers and lay preachers ; they also stated that books and tracts had been

    sent to the following places , Dover , Canterbury , Maidstone , Headcorn , Northiani , Battle , Beasel ' s Green , Rolvenden , Biddenden , Benenden , and Tenterden . "* The thanks of the meeting were voted to the British and Foreign Unitarian Association , to the Yorkshire West Riding Tract Society , and to the Rev . J . Fullagar , for the books and tracts which they had presented to the Association . This business having been dispatched ,

    Tracts were not sent to- Chatham , because five pounds * worth were given to that Society by the British a « d Foreign Unitarian Association last year ; nor to Cranbrook , because they will receive a giant from the same body this year .
