CHURCH IN IRELAND.

i,.

We beg to call the earnest attention of our readers to an
advertisement which appears in another part of our paper,
respecting the building of a'church in Dunnurlin, and also
to the following letter which we have, received on the same
subject :
My Christian Brethren of the Established Church, •
Liverpool.
DEAR BRETH nfiN,—As a minister of the established church,
and with the concurrence of the Lord Bishop of the diocese
in which I reside, I am constrained to leave my flock for a
season, that I may advocate their cause, and make known
their wants to benevolent Englishmen. My,sphere of spiri-
tual labor lies in Dunnurlin, county Kerry; the most western
and secluded parish in Ireland. Four parishes are given me
in charge, in three of which are regular and full Sabbath ser-
vices. There neither is or ever has been a Protegtant place
of worship in any of those parishes, and there is no fnnd what-
ever, parochial or national, available to erect. chur cit 6. By
mere suflerance am I permitted to preach the gospel. to Inv
poor benighted countrymen, in the watch-houses belonging
to the Coast Guard Service; but the Lord has so signally
blessed the word, (chiefly through the tuedium-of the Irish
language,) that my congregation has increased inn very con-
siderable degree. -But where shall we worship the Lord " in
decency and in order ?" Ilas the Lord no people •to build
hint an house? Shall we dwell sumptuously while the 'minis-
ters of God in a christian empire are forced to administer her
holy ordinances (in many instances) exposed to.-the incle-
mency of the weather?
My object is to build a chwrch attached-to.- the'parish of
which lam the incumbent. 'l'he estimated cost-of the hum-
ble sanctuary is only £350, and for this purpose I solicit the
charitable sympathy of a people who can serve their Lord
and Saviour amidst " happier homes and altars-free."
having received much kindness and encouragement from
my christian brethren of Liverpool, a-meeting (D.,V.) will
be held on Friday evening next, at Seven cr'rlock, at St.
Andrew's School, to forward the above mentioned object,
where, supported by the undersigned clergymen, I would
entreat the attendance of all who love the purity 'of our
common faith, and who are desirous of hearing a snore de-
tailed and particular statement.

Dear Brethren, ,‘,4?;7••
• , I remain yours, in the best bonds, • t
GEORGE G. GIIBB INS, Rector of Dunnurlin.
26th Aug. 1838.
28, Falkner-street, Rope-street, Liverpool. _

We have seen and conversed with the writer of ,the above,
and feel the circumstances of his case to be so peculiar, and
his reasonable prospect of usefulness (if assisted) 4o be so
encouraging, that we venture to solicit the attention and in-
terest of our christian brethren, and hope, they will join us in
giving Mr. flubbius a hearing on Friday evening.
