AT a period like the present, when such efforts are being
made, on all hands, in support of Church extension,
when a cry has gone throughout the length and breadth of
the land for Scriptural Instruction, it is truly gratifying to
know that in Liverpool a strong feeling has been exhibited in
this good work, proportioned in some measure, to tl e bless-
ings with which its own commercial interests have been
attended, and certainly not inferior in point of energy and
perseverance to that of any town in the kingdom.
In proof of this assertion it may be stated, that for the
last thirty" years Church accommodation has been on the in-
crease at the rate of one thousand and some hundred sittings
annually ; that in the year 1809, the provision made by the
Establishment for the public worship of the Almighty con-
sisted of some ten or twelve Churches, capable of contain-
ing not more than so many thousand individuals ; whereas
now, in 1839, the cloud which for a time overshadowed the
land has in our days begun to drop fatness—to pour forth its
showers, so as to leave few parts of this town unrefresbed by
its mild and genial influence—there being at present in Li-
verpool and its environs, upwards of forty Churches, con-
taining an average of twelve hundred sittings each, in con-
nexion with our Protestant Episcopal Establishment; so that
from the extreme limits of the Borough. north and south—
from Kirkdale to Toxteth Park—there exists a chain of Tem-
ples for the worship of the TRIUNE JEHOVAH, and at such
convenient distances as to leave every man within that range
inexcusable who neglects to hear the glad tidings of a Saviour.
But it may be asked—What of those other districts not
less important and more populous than any to which notice
has been hitherto directed? What has been done in fur-
therance of this " good work" in the neighbourhood of our
shipping stations, along the densely-crowded shores of the
Mersey ? What for th large and rapidly-increasing popula-
tion of Windsor and its precincts ? We reply that, as to the
Christian nothing seems done whilst anything remains to be
done so these truly important and populous districts have
not escaped the notice of the Christian philanthropist, as
is abundantly testified by the exertions lately put forth in
their behalf by the Clergy and their several congregations,
and with such triumshant success.
It is hardly necessary to advert to the formation of tne
Liverpool Church Building Society, since which time the erec-
_Sion of several new Churches has been decided on ; funds to
a very considerable amount have been raised ; suitable situ-
ations.for some of the intended Churches secured ; the work
now proceeds briskly and auspiciously—and all within the
short space of a few months.
When, in addition to •the above, it is stated that, in the
neighbourhood of Windsor, also, a large and beautiful
Church is now in progress of erection, and that thus no
chasm remains to be filled up, every man, who is really a
friend to the Church of our Fathers, to a pure, chaste, and
Scriptural system of Religious Worship and Instruction,
must in his heart rejoice, seeing that " this is the Lord's
doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes."
It DOW remains briefly, but specislly, to notice the new
Church of St. Saviour Windsor, with a view of enlisting
the sympathies of the Protestant public in its behalf.
For many years past various efforts have been made to
secure to this portion of our town the advantages of adequate
and convenient Church accommodation; but from one cause
or other, these efforts, it is to be lamented, have proved
abortive. The difficulty of procuring land of good title and
satisfactory tenure, want of funds and other impediments,
have stood in the way of their accomplishment ; but it is
matter of thankfulness to be enabled now to announce, that
these obstacles have been almost wholly surmounted ; that
land, freehold of inheritance, has been purchased in a most
desirable situation; that a plan has been adopted,' a Com-
mittee formed, Trustees named, and the work of building
already in so advanced a state,., as to justify the hope of its
being opened for public worship early in the summer of
1840.
In behalf of this Church an appeal is now made to the in-
habitants of Liverpool ; and when it is considered that thus
an elegant and convenient place of worship will be afforded
to the wealthier portion of the community—that the same
advantages will be extended to the middling classes, and at
moderate expense—that four hundred sittings will be appro-
priated to the use of our poorer brethren, and that the bless-
ings of a solid and Scriptural Education, through the medium
of Sunday, Daily, and Infant Schools, will, with God's
assistance, be put within the reach of not less than ONE
THOUSAND CHILDREN, it is hoped that this appeal will not
be made in vain, remembering that "there is that scattereth,
and yet increaseth •, and there is that withholdeth more than
is meet, hut it teudeth to poverty."
The foundation stone of St. Saviour's Church was laid b 1
the Rev. AUGUSTUS CAMPBELL, on the 15th April last.
