“Over the space to which this Report refers, only seventy-one
Clergymen were engaged for this population before the time when the
aid of this Society came in; and this was _one great reason_, _among
many others_, _why he should be grateful to a Society which had
enabled him to look to the vast concerns under his care with so much
less anxiety of mind_, _as to the means provided for their
discharge_, _than he could otherwise have hoped to have done_. _But
there was still a vast amount remaining of the benefits which this
Society had conferred upon the Church and upon the people_, _and
which could never be stated in the words of a Report_.”
