AT a MEETING held by public advertisement, at the
THATCHED HOUSE TAVERN, on the sth JUNE, 1811,
for taking into consideration the Spiritual Destitution of the
WELSH POOR IN LONDON, and the best !ilea is of raisinga
a Fund for providing and endowing a Chur ,wherein they
could hear Divine Service, according to t
orms
were
Na-
tional Church, in their native language
entered into in commendation of the mea urßes
e, and for carry-
ingof HER
the same into effect ; and as the countenance
MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY was deemed most important to
the success of the undertaking, it wa
humble application should be made for determined that an
r her patronage and
support. And also, that appeals should be made to the
Clergy and Gentry of, and counecedin furtherance of the with, the Principality,
for their sympathy, aid, and exertions,
object, and the following Committee was appointed to carry
the intentions of the Meeting into execution, namely :
The Earl of Powis, Chairman VISCOUNT DUNCANNON,
LORD KENToN The Bishop of BANGOR,
Right Hon. C. W. Wars. The Bishop of St. DAVID'S
WYNN, M•P., Sir BENJ. HALL, Bart,
OCTAVIUS MORGAN, ESQ., M.P.,
M.P., Du. Nicuoi., M.P.
Mr. Serj. ATCHERLEY, Rev. J. JENNINGS;M.P.,
W. PARRY RICHARDS, Esq., Rev. HUGH HUGHES,
Wist. JONES, Esq., (Crosby COL. Wow), M.P.,
Square), Rev. EVAN JAMES, M.A.,
And Sir BENJ. HALL, Bart., M.P. was appointed Treasurer.
The Committee in making public the result of their endea-
vours in so good a cause, have much satisfaction in stating
that our beloved QUEEN readily responded to the Appeal
made to her on behalf of her loyal and dutiful Ancient British
Subjects, and has graciously condescended to express her
approbation of the undertaking, and to forward a Donation of
ONE HUNDRED GUINEAS in its support ; an example which
the Committee hope will be liberally and early responded to by
the public, more especially by their countrymen, upon whom
the Committee desire to impress, that it is on record, that for
the last century it has been a source of constant regret, that
Welshmen, when leaving their native mountains for this
great metropolis, were doomed never to hear the Word of
God in their own native tongue, according to the principles
of the Church of England.

To remedy this undoubted evil, is entrusted to the Com-
mittee, and they wish neither to dissemble the labour and
difficulty of carrying this object into effect, nor the large
outlay necessary for its completion. A sum of not less than
£lO,OOO will be required to obtain a scite, erect, and perma-
nently endow, a Church capable of affording gratuitous reli-
gious instruction to the Poor Welsh in London ; they never-
theless do Not doubt their success, for they feel they are
urging upon a religious community in the work they contem-
plate, a righteous discharge of their duty to God and to their
neighbour, and trust to inspire at least all Welshmen and
persons connected with the Principality, with an anxious de-
sire to forward the undertaking ; those possessed of large
property, according to the bounty with which Providence
has favoured them—and those possessed of less, according
to their means, which they cannot impress more forcibly
than by referring to the beautiful words of our Liturgy.
"He that soweth little shall reap little." "He that soweth
plenteously shall reap plenteously." " Let every one do
according as he is disposed in his heart, not grudgingly or of
necessity ; for God loveth a cheerful giver."
The Committee in making this appeal and responsible duty
publicly known, add a list of Donations announced in their
support, and beg further to state, that Subscriptions will be
received by the Treasurer ; the Members of the Committee ;
and by the following Bankers :—Messrs. Coutts and Co., 59,
Strand ; Messrs. Drummond, 49, Charing Cross ; Messrs.
Herries, Farquhar and Co., 16, St. James's street ; Messrs.
Hoares, 37, Fleet-street ; and Messrs. Jones, Loyd and Co.
