It will be seen by the foregoing account, that in consequence of the loan to the Convention fund, and the diminished receipts of the year ending on the 12th of June, 1838, the Treasurer has been unable to pay the Easter appropriations directed to be made on the 3d of August, 1837.

The amounts due at Easter, are as follows:

To this must be added two other appropriations made subsequently to the Churches of Bradleyville and Essexborough,

CHURCH SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY.

ANNUAL MEETING.

HARTFORD, JUNE 13, 1838. The annual meeting of the Church Scholarship Society was holden at Christ Church, after evening prayer, the President of the Society being in the chair. The Report of the Board of Directors was read and accepted. The Report of the Treasurer was read and accepted.

The following officers were chosen for the ensuing year, viz.:

Board of Education.

Rev. SILAS TOTTEN,
THOMAS BELKNAP, Esq.,

SAMUEL TUDOR, Esq.

DUDLEY BEACH, Esq.,
ZEPHANIAH PRESTON, Esq.
DENISON MORGAN, Esq.

WILLIAM T. LEE, Esq.

Rev. GEORGE BURGESS, Secretary.

JAMES M. GOODWIN, Esq. Treasurer.

Resolved, That this Society will still regard itself as pledged to assist every worthy applicant for its assistance, in his preparation for the ministry.

Resolved, That, in the judgment of this Society, the Board of Education ought rigidly to adhere, in the execution of their trust, to that principle of the Constitution, which requires of every beneficiary "unequivocal testimonials of piety and promising talents."

GEORGE BURGESS, Secretary.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS.

The present is the 11th Annual Report, which has been presented to the Church Scholarship Society, and the 3d which has proceeded from the Board of Education, under its present organization.

This Society was established in the year 1827. Its aid has since been afforded to forty young men, in their preparation for the ministry. Of these, about one third have received Holy Orders; one has been removed by death, in the midst of his studies; two or three have relinquished their original design; and the remainder are still candidates, or at college. During the past year, three new beneficiaries have been received; and the whole number has been eight. In 1837, the number was seven; in 1836, nine; in 1835, twelve; in 1834, thirteen; so that the operations of the Society have been restricted, rather than extended. This has not been the consequence, however, of its pecuniary inability, as its resources, though they have never much exceeded, have almost always met, the claims upon its assistance; but the increasing disposition on the part of many Parishes and parochial societies, to make some individual the object of their peculiar aid, has rendered the applications to the Society less numerous than before. If it should be true, in addition, which the Board do not believe, that while the call for labourers in the harvest of the Lord has been increasing from all sides, the answers have become fewer and more faint, it would certainly be the duty of the Society not only to invite, but to urge and affectionately constrain to the acceptance of its aid, many whom nothing except indigence might withhold from looking forward to the sacred office. The number, however, of applications already received, in anticipation of the ensuing year, is seven; and as only two of the present beneficiaries will withdraw at the approaching commencement, there is little reason to doubt that a larger demand than ever, will soon be made on the funds of the Society.
