At the Twenty-fourth Annual Meeting of the Church Missionary
Society for Africa and the East, held in Freemasons' Hall, Great
Queen Street, on Tuesday, May 4, 1824.

The Right Hon. LORD GAMBIER, Vice-Patron and President, in the Chair.

The Report of the Committee having been read by the Secretary, and the Statement of the
Accounts of the Twenty-third Year,

On a Motion by the Right Hon, Lord Barham, seconded by the Right Hon.
Charles Grant, M.P., it was

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY,

a

That the Report now read be received and printed under the direction of the Committee; and that, while this Meeting contemplates with thankfulness the continued augmentation of the income of the Society, and the gradual extension of its operations and of those of kindred Institutions, the Members notice with pain a growing manifestation, in various ways, of spirit hostile to those benevolent exertions; and they recognise in these "signs of the times' accumulating weight of obligation on all Christians, both to cultivate a right spirit in their labours, and to pray for the abundant influences of the Holy Spirit, in order to the more rapid success of that great Cause which it is the object of the Society to advance.

an

On a Motion by the Right Hon. Lord Calthorpe, seconded by T. Fowell Buxton,
Esq. M.P., it was

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY,

That the Members of the Society deeply sympathize with the Missionaries in Sierra Leone and their Congregations, on the removal of so many valuable Labourers from the sphere of their usefulness, and on the destitution of religious instruction to which those Congregations are in consequence reduced: yet, animated by the recollection of the signal success with which the Society has been blessed in that Mission, this Meeting rejoices in the prospect afforded of a strenuous prosecution of the Society's objects in Sierra Leone with augmented means; persuaded that while the places of those who have been removed by sickness or death in the civil and military departments are eagerly sought for and speedily filled, it would be a dereliction of duty in Christians, inspired by higher motives and aiming at nobler ends, to desist from their undertaking, or to relax in their exertions.

On a Motion by the Hon. and Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Lichfield and
Coventry, seconded by Major Phipps, it was

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY,

That this Meeting, while it deplores the ravages of war on the shores of the Mediterranean, yet cannot but anticipate the overruling of these evils for the furtherance of the Gospel; and rejoices in the increasing opportunities for the circulation of the Scriptures and the establishment of Christian Missionaries, in the countries connected with that sea.

On a Motion by Sir Robert Harry Inglis, Bart. M.P., seconded by the Rev.
Richard Waldo Sibthorp, it was

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY,

That the happy effects which have resulted to the interests of Christianity from the Ecclesiastical Establishment for our Eastern Possessions, encourage this Meeting to look forward with enlarged expectations to the most salutary consequences, both to the Free and Slave Population, from that recently formed for the West Indies; and it affords the Members peculiar satisfaction to express the sense which they entertain of the advantages derived to the Society from the countenance and patronage of the Lord Bishop of Calcutta.

On a Motion by the Rev. Joseph Parson, seconded by the Rev. Frederick Spring,

it was

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY,

That the increase of Schools in the Society's different Missions, and particularly of those for the instruction of Native Females in India, offers to the Meeting matter for sincere congratulation; and it especially rejoices in the augmentation of Seminaries for training Native Teachers, as the importance of employing as extensively as practicable Natives in the communication of religious knowledge to their countrymen becomes more manifest, in proportion as the operations of the Society are enlarged.

On a Motion by the Rev. C. James Hoare, seconded by the Rev. John William
Cunningham, it was

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY,

That the sincere thanks of the Society be given to the Noble President of the Institution, to the other Vice-Patrons, and to the Vice-Presidents, for their continued protection; to the Treasurer for his assistance; to such Clergymen and other Gentlemen as have, during the last year, prepared or supported Associations; to the Younger Friends of the Society; to those Ladies who, in various places, have very successfully exerted themselves in promoting its interests; and to the Committee for their exertions.
