Trinity Church was built about 70 years since, by a special
Act of Parliament (32, Gee. 111., cap. 76), to provide addi ional
accommodation for the parish of Liverpool. For 30 or 40 years
afterwards it numbered one of the largest congregations in the
n;ton but, owing to the remowil of families into suburban
districts, the dilapidated state of the church, and other cir-
cumstances, it became for many years almost deserted. Very
great exertions have been made of late to revivify this decay-
ing church, and to place it once more in a position of useful-
ness. The present officiating clergyman being most desirous
to remedy this state of things, and to provide for the altered
state of the neighbourhood, has, on his own responsibility,

extent of 300 sittings. This of course can only be arranged
year by year; but it is his intention to devote any surplus,
after the liquidation of the debt, to the snaking these sittings
free and unappropriated for ever. The Organ (which was not
new at the time of its erection) was pronounced unfit for use
without a considerable out'ay ; a new Organ has therefore been
erected. The church has been re-lighted, and an additional
warming apparatus provided ; it has been thoroughly cleansed,
painted, and neatly and consistently furnished—in short,made
fit in every respect for the decent performance of divine
service.
The Churchyard, from its exposed state, has been subject to
every possible kind of desecration. This has been partially
enclosed, and it is hoped that, ere long, this will be completed.

, proprietors
Most of the original pew propetors and grave owners are
now deceased, and many of their representatives are scattered
far and wide, and, if able to be found, are net in a position to
render any assistance.
About E 1,200 is requiTed. The Bazaar must be held on the
13th, 14th, and 15th of March, in the Queen's Hall, Bold-
street, (this date has been-fixed by the Council of the Queen's
Hall). The amount required being large, and the time for
preparation being unavoidably short, it is earnestly hoped that
all persons who feel an interest in our earthly sanctuaries,
whether connected with Trinity Church or not, will lend a
helping hand to raise this sum ; and those especially are called
upon who were here dedicated to God by the solemn rite of
Christian baptism, or were here united in the holy bond of
wedlock, or 'whose friends or relatives once worshipped within
these walls, and whose remains ROW lie mouldering within
this sacred enclosure.
