CHRIST- CHURCH, EXETER
The recent melancholy events which have disturbed the
Diocese of Exeter, and which, it is feared, cannot be satisfactorily
settled, have largely contributed to establish the necessity for a Free
Episcopal Church.
The party within the pale' of the Establishment, who denounce
the Protestant Reformation, and labour without ceasing to subvert
its principles, cannot be sufficiently held in check in a diocese like
Exeter, where they are notoriously favoured by the Bishop, without
some large and determined effort to provide for the due celebration of
the services of the Church, in connexion with the faithful ministry
of the Gospel, free from the control of the ecclesiastical ruler.
To provide then Mr those who have been driven from their paro-
chial edifices by the semi-popish teaching of the clergy, it has been
felt needful to obtain ground in a central part of the city, on which
to erect a large and commodious church ; the hall opened a few
months since in Fore-street having proved quite insufficient to ac-
commodate the numerous congregation.
Christ Church is now erecting in East Southernhay—one of the
best situations in Exeter, and on the borders of the two populous
parishes of St. Sidwell's and Trinity. It will be constructed to seat
1,400 persons ; four hundred of the sittings will be free. The cost of
the ground and building, with other expenses, will exceed 4,0001.
The friends of Protestant truth throughout the country are re-
spectfully invited to sympathise with their brethren at Exeter, by
aiding with their contribw ions this spirited undertaking.
An opportunity is thus afforded them, not only to strengthen the
hands of a small band, who, trusting in God, have commenced this
work, but to record their attachment to those principles which have
been esteemed the glory of Great Britain, and the distinguishing
excellence of her religious institutions.
Contributions for the Christ Church Building Fund will be received
for Henry Crofts, Esq., the Treasurer, at the City Bank, Exeter ; and
at Messrs. Roberts, Curtis, and Co., Bankers, London.

offering a secure investment for capital, free from all risk, and

this a very desirable opportunity to employ his time and capital.
