SECOND ANNUAL REPORT.
The Committee of the District Visiting Society, in presenting the SECOND
ANNUAL REPORT of their proceedings, feel that they have every ground for
renewing the congratulations which they were last year able to offer to
the Society, on the advantages which have accrued to the parish through
its instrumentality, and also, on the prospects of continually increasing
benefits, as its plans become more fully matured, and its operations more
clearly developed and in consequence more completely effective.
Since the last Annual Meeting changes have taken place in the
ECCLESIASTICAL ARRANGEMENTS of the parish, which, having the effect of
removing the Northern Districts from the superintendence of the Clergy of
St. Mary Abbot’s, render necessary an alteration in the Seventh General
Rule of the Society. The Committee accordingly recommend that the Rule
be now modified, so as to confine the future operations of the Society to
that portion of Kensington which is under the ecclesiastical charge of
the Vicar. It is right to mention that arrangements made by the Clergy
of St. John’s and St. James’s are expected to provide for the requisite
attention being paid to the wants of the poor within their respective
localities.
