SOCIETY FOR THE RELIEF

OF

AGED AND INFIRM

Protestant Dissenting Ministers.

Society for the Relief of Aged and Infirm Protestant Dissenting Ministers, JOHN GURNEY, Esq. in the Chair, The following Resolutions were passed unanimously:

That a Society be formed for the relief of Aged and Infirm Protestant Dissenting Ministers, of the three denominations, Presbyterian, Independent, and Baptist, in necessitous circumstances, and that the title of the Society be," A Society for the Relief of Aged and Infirm Protestant Dissenting Ministers."

That a subscriber of One Guinea annually, be a member of the Society. That a subscriber of Ten, Guineas in one payment, be a member for life.

That a subscriber of Fifty Guineas in one sum, or Five Guineas annually, be at liberty to attend, and vote at all meetings of the Committee.

Ir has long been matter of surprise and regret, that while some provision has been made for almost every species of distress, so little attention has been paid to the case of Aged Protestant Dissenting Ministers, who have spent the That the objects of this Institution be greater part of their lives in endeavour Protestant Dissenting Ministers, accepting to promote the best interests of theired and approved in their respective defellow-creatures. It is scarcely possible nominations, who are incapitated by age, to conceive any objects of Christian be- or other infirmities. nevolence, possessing stronger claims to our sympathy and aid, than are to be found among persons of this description. Some are wholly incapacitated for public service, and, in the decline of life, find themselves in a dependant, and even destitute state; and others, who do not wholly discontinue their labours, experience, from the loss of friends by death, and other causes, a serious diminution of their income, when, in consequence of their growing infirmities, an increase of it is needed. And, in some instances, their painful feelings are heightened by the thought, (which will at times force itself upon their minds,) that they are supposed by many to retain their station for a mere subsistence, when they are no longer useful. The prospect of such an issue, to a long life devoted to the Ministry, must excite anxious fears in the breasts of younger ministers, and tend to damp their zeal.

That the business of the Society be conducted by a Treasurer and Committee; the Committee to consist of eighteen members; viz. two ministers and four laymen of each denomination.

That one-third of the Committee shall be renewed annually; the first two years by lot, as to those who retire; and by ballot, as to those who are to be introduced; and subsequently by rotation, as to those who go out.

That the Committee shall meet four times in the year; and a special meeting may be called by a requisition of

three members.

That there be five Auditors, of which two only shall be chosen from the Com mittee.

That there shall be a General Meeting of the Society held annually, on the last Tuesday in May; at which the Trea surer, Committee, Auditors, and other officers, shall be chosen, the audited accounts of the last year presented, and a Report made of the proceedings of the Committee.

To alleviate these fears, and, at the same time, to afford some substantial relief to the sufferers themselves, a few individuals directed their attention to aplan for the assistance of Aged and Infirm Protestant Dissenting Ministers, in necessitous circumstances. After several meetings of dissenters of the three denominations, it has been deemed desirable, and found practicable, to unite their efforts, as in the " Widow's Fund," to carry this design into effect. A That a Special General Meeting of society, accordingly, has been formed, the Society may be called by the Com its officers appointed, and a liberal sub-mittee, or on the requisition of any ten scription already commenced. In aid members of the Society. of the funds of this Institution, the con tributions of the friends of religion and humanity are respectfully and earnestly

solicited.

end, and the Rev. Dr. Collyer, of Trust Money, at their disposal, the Rev. John Townsend shall be a permanent member of the Committee; the Rev. Dr. Collyer being included in the former Resolution. That another General Meeting be held at this house, on Tuesday, the 16th Instant, at eleven, for twelve o'clock; and that the Committee be instructed to print and circulate the Resolutions now adopted, to solicit support, and present to the next Meeting the names of gentlemen for Treasurer, members of the Committee, and Secretary.

That the cordial thanks of this Meeting be given to John Gurney, Esq. for the interest he has taken in the forma tion of this Society, and for his conduct in the chair this day.
