LAYING OPTIMPOUNDATION OP A NEW

CHURCH .AT WATERLOO.

.
Wednesday last was the day appointed for the laying of a
foundation stone of an elegant new church, to be built by
subscription, on Litherland Marsh, close to Waterloo, one
of the most inviting and thriving watering places on our im-
mediate coast, and notwithstanding the extremely unfavour-
able state of the weather, the attendance was numerous, and
the ceremonial was performed with much solemnity and
effect,—the whole exhibiting a zeal and anxiety in the erection
of this new place of worship, which affords the best augury
of the sincerity of those in whose liberality it originated,
and the gratitude of those for whose especial benefit it is
proposed.
The site chosen for the building is on the north-west
'corner of Litherland Marsh,—close to the paved highway,
running north and south on the west side of that common ;
about three hundred yards from the beach, and nearly the
same distance from the Hotel. It is thus immediately
proximate to the " Village" of Waterloo, and is easily
accessible by good roads from Seaforth, and the several
rapidly increasing hamlets, villas, and homesteads, on the
eastward and northward. The necessity for a new church
in that neighbourhood had long become apparent, the re-
spective churches at Seaforth and Bootle on the south of it,
though these are of comparatively modern erection, having
been found inadequate to the spiritual wants of a growing
population almost exclusively attached to the Church of
England. A number of gentlemen residing in the summer,
or wholly in the vicinity accordingly originated the intended
building, by setting on foot a subscription, which was very
liberally responded to.
The subscriptions at length reached an amount which
justified a determination to proceed with the work, and the
following gentlemen were eventually chosen as a committee
of management in the erection of the building :
Chas. Horsfall, Esq. John Kilshaw, Esq.
John Bibby, Esq. Joseph Cooper, Esq.
Wm. Potter, Esq. Thos. Rimmer, Esq.
Henry Penny, Esq.
And the following gentlemen were named as trustees, in
whom the patronage of the church was to be vested :
Adam Hodgson, Esq. William Jones, Esq.
I
Robt. Bickersteth, Esq. Moses Edwards, Esq.
And the late John Eden, Esq.
Much interest and anxiety were excited in the neighbour-
hood for miles round to witness the laying of the foundation
stone, on (as before stated,) Wednesday ; and the attendance
would have been very great had the weather been at all fa-
vourable ; but we lament to say, that about seven in the
morning, a heavy shower set in, with a strong breeze from
the westward, which continued incessantly until about one
o'clock. This damped the expectations of many hundreds,
and precluded their attendance. Had the rnerningrbeen fine,
many hundreds of highly respectable individuals would have
congregated to the spot from every part of the country, in-
cludinc, a large number from Liverpool. It was intended,
too, that the pupils of the respective seminaries in Seaforth,
conducted by the Rev. W. Rawson, Mrs. Davenport, and
Miss Lowe, should have walked in possession to the ground—
and they would, doubtless, have formed a very interesting
sight, but it was impossible for ladies to venture abroad, un-
less under cover of a vehicle,—even those of the ruder sex—
albeit, clad in cloaks, and armed with umbrellas—being, in
the language of the bard, severely " beaten by the wind,
and battered by the rain." Zeal and manhood will, how-
ever, overcome many obstacles, and despite of all disad-
vantages, there were nearly three hundred persons present,
who took a very warm interest in the proceedings through-
out. We should add, that it was intended that the children
of that admirable institution, the Blue Coat School of this
town, should also be in attendance, and arrangements were
in progress for their conveyance to the ground by canal ; but
this project, so unpropitious were the elements, was neces-
sarily abandoned.
Close to the site of the church, a long tent was constructed
of board, with a table in the middle intended for the serving
of refreshments to the children of the schools, and 'after-
wards, to the workmen engaged on the building. Though
necessarily not appropriated for this purpose, it became ex-
ceedingly useful, first, as a place of shelter to the assembled
parties before the ceremony, and afterwards as a sanctuary
to all,—the officiating clergyman, Mr. Rawson, and his
friends, after many of them had gathered round " the founda-
tion stone," having wisely chosen this retreat from the rain
for the opening address and prayer. The tent was the more
appropriate as it faced the site of the building—a few layers
of the foundation of which were already laid all round to a
height of about two feet.
We observed present the following gentlemen :—the Rev.
J. Jones, of St. Andrew's ; Rev. J. M'Crea ; Rev. J. Van-
burgh ; J. Cooper, Esq. of the Liverpool Common Council; H.
Penny, Esq,; J. Rigby, Esq.; J. Eden, Esq.; S. Hohne, Esq.;
Mr. Parry, and others. There were also present many of the
principal residents in the neighbourhood whose names we did
not ascertain, and many of the Catholic residents ; we also
observed many of the respectably-clad workmen of Mr. Parr,
the contractor for the whole building.
The congregation having, by desire, assembled within the
tent on each side of the table, at about half-past ten o'clock,
The Rev. W. RAWSON, officiating minister of Seaforth,
addressed them from the east end. He said in effect :—Be-
loved christian friends, brethren and neighbours, we have
met here this day to commence a work the object of which is
to disseminate the true principles of Christianity—to the
glory of God and the benefit of innumerable souls ; and we
cannot commence this work better than by singing to the
praise of Him who has given us that opportunity of meet-
ir% for so high and sanctified a purpose. I shall therefore
enjoin you to do so, by singing the 100th psalm.
The assemblage here sang the psalm, the rev. gentleman
giving out the words.
The rev. gent. then gave a most impressive and eloquent
evtenaporaneous prayer, in which he was joined by all present,
and then: proceeded to perform the masonic ceremonial
immediately to ,the south end of the tent ; being followed
by the whole of the assemblage present, although the rain
fell: heavily, with a brisk breeze from the -seaward. The
stone on which was to be founded one of the northern diagonal
buttresses of the entrance to the church on the west, had al-
reitly been hoisted to its proper elevation, and a bedding of
brick and mortar prepared for its reception. All being pre-
pared,
Jousr Btiner, Esq., who held a handsome silver trowel,
thus addressed the Rev. Mr. Rawson :—Sir. I have great
pleasure in-presenting to you this trowel" for the purpose of
enabling you to lay the foundation stone of this sacred edifice,
which, though laid on the sand of the shore, is founded on
the rock of ages ; and I trust, sir, that generations yet to
come will reap the benefits of the divine truths that will be
disseminated from the pulpit of this noble edifice. Above
all,.sir, I trust and hope that whoever may become minister
of this church, will follow you as his example both in doc-
trine and in practice. As a member, sir, of your congrega-
tion, I feel pride in being appointed to the office now assigned'
to me, as it affords me an opportunity of expressing, in con-
junction with them with whom, I act on this occasion, my
high respect for your character and religious views ; and I'
trust, sir, that this trowel will remain in your family, as a
memorial of the respect in. which from your services, your
exertions, and your character, you are held in this neigh-
bourhood.
This address was listened to with anxious attention, and
responded to in the breasts of all present. [We are much
indebted to Mr. Lowe, of the firm of Radcliffe, Duncan, and
Lowe, for his assistance in reporting this address, of which
from the rain, and out position at the time with reference to
the speaker, we could scarcely note a word.]
Mr. Blear then handed the trowel. to Mr. Rdwson, who
performed the ceremonial usual on such occasions on the
placing of the stone, which was deposited in its permanent
situation.
The REV. GENTLEMAN then made an emphatic and appro-
priate address. He stated, that he had been called upon to
appear there that day, and had he not entertained a warm
interest in the object they. all had, in view, he should have
preferred being a hearer rather than a speaker. He could
not, however, resist the call made upon him, for he highly
approved of the object before them, and was anxious to
show his desire for its successful attainment. He had
for years watched the progress of that place (Waterloo.)
During his ministry at Seaforth, all the houses imme-
diately around them had risen up ; and he had long be-
come aware that neither he nor those who assisted him
could adequately administer to the wants of the increas-
ing population in that quarter. He must remind' them,
however, that zeal in the erection of an earthly temple
was nothing without a higher zeal for the erection of a temple
in their hearts, without which there could be no benefit here,
no glory hereafter. He rejoiced in the present contemplated
structure. It was another invasion on the territory of satan.
When they looked abroad upon the moral, the political, and
the religious state of the community, they had much to
deplore ; but he considered this erection as one of the bright
and sunny spots in the genial gloom of the landscape. The
erection of this church could not fail to be not only a spiri-
tual but a temporal blessing ; and after imploring a blessing
upon the holy work, upon all who had contributed to the
erection, all who should be manually employed upon it, and
all who might hereafter partake of its advantages ; he con-
cluded by calling upon his hearers to sing the hymn " Praise
God from whom all blessings flow," which was earnestly
complied with.
The rev, gentleman then pronounced the blessing,—" The
Lord bless us and keep us ! The Lord cause the light of his
countenance to shine upon us, and give us peace. Amen."
The response of " Amen," was cordially made, and the
company dispersed.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CHURCH.
The new church at Waterloo, which is not yet named,
will be built in the early English Gothic style, of what
may be called a rather rich or florid description. The
principal front, the west end, is towards the sea-shore,
whence it will be approachable by a broad walk or road about
to be formed, crossing the paved road above at right angles.
This front will present a handsome ornamental tower, three
stories in height, and the elevation of which is fifty-six feet.
In each of the lower stories there is one window, and in the
ornamental belfry above, there are two troll latticed windows
abreast—all with the arch moderately pointed. The tower
is surmounted by an embattled parapet of neat design, over-
topped in .the centre, by a fineal foliated cross. Diagonal
buttresses support the corners of the tower, as well as those
of the church, and give the whole a massy and rich appear-
ance. A staircase on one side, and a vestibule on the other,
form projecting wings to the tower in the basement story,
and the walls all round are topped by a plain uniform parapet.
There are six long gothic windows to correspond on each
side of the edifice, and a boldly projecting buttress. On
each side the chancel, but projecting angularly from it, in
the form of five sides of an octagonal, there is on the north,
east corner the vestry-room, and on the south east a commo-
dious lobby. The buttress at each angle of these, have a fine
rich appearance in the design, and we doubt not, the building
will look equally well in execution. The church will contain
about 700 sittings, and will have a gallery all round, except-
ing on the east end which will be open for the pulpit and
communion table. The whole will be built of good durable
red Runcorn free stone, of massy dimensions, many huge
blocks of which are already on the ground. The length of
the edifice interiorly is 61 feet 2 inches ; its width 43 feet 4
inches. The extreme length outside, including the tower is
93 feet.

The architect is Mr. Clayton, of Ormskirk, a gentleman
who has eminently been successful in the designing of several
of our finest country lodges and other public structures. The
contractor for the whole work (as before stated) is Mr. Parr,
and under him, the contractor for the mason work is Mr.
George Robinson.
As a remarkable instance of the vicissitudes of the season,
we may remark, that after a soaking and somewhat stormy
forenoon, the rain ceased about one o'clock, and the sky
soon afterwards became bright and sunny. There was a
peculiar balminess in the air which was unagitated by a
breath of wind, the whole force of nature, enriched rather
than detrimented by the- finger of autumn, assumed a lively
and luxuriant appearance, and the birds were heard to carol
from every spray, as if hailing the advent of another May.
The walks in the neighbourhood, and particularly that
through the, beautiful hamlet. of Seaforth were delightful,
and the westward view of the sea, was not less attractive,
spangled as it was with numerous boats and vessels under
sail, and steamers with their long trails of smoke gliding
swifty and magestically to and fro on their several destinations.'

covertly bringing in upon his unwary hearers the dais a.ues„
heresies of the man of sin. His evasive dealing with ac cidulm

suspicion and powerfully awakened my curiosity to l‘n,„g bf
