VIS : '•
Rev. WILLIAM HESKETII. lITORS Rev. JAMES HASSALL.
TN addition to the Charitable Institutions already existing
1 in Liverpool and the neighbourhood, for the relief of the
various wants of the poorer classes, it is proposed to establish
a FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM.
In. the Metropolis, such an institution is amongst the
splendid monuments of its public munificence, and has been
the means of rescuing thousands of orphan females from the
paths of misery and vice, of implanting the principles of
Christian knowledge, and sending them forth into the world
respectable and:useful members of society.
To what extent 'a similar institution may be established
here must depend on the bounty bestowed upon it. Children
are ever objects of the dearest social interest. If poor, that
interest increases in proportion to the penury of their condi-
tion—if not mil:, poor, but patentless, their state of destitu-
tion excites still greater sympathy, and, in a corresponding
degree, will their claims be estimated for support and pro-
tection, upon those whom God has blessed with the ability
to relieve them. -
Suffer little chiblren to come
.unto me," evinced the
opecial regard Of our Blessed Saviclur, who at the same time
declared " of such is the kingdom of Heaven." It is also
his assurance that he , who receives one- of such- little
children in my name reeeiveth me." The Psalmist repeat-
edly sings the praises of God as the helper and father of the
fatherless, and " to visit the fatherless in their affliction" is
pronounced by St. James to be one of the graces of " pure
work
and undefiled religion."
Stith powerfu
are the l incentives to our exertions in this
cif Christian charity. Should its petition for encou-
ragement be met by the plea of too many similar requisitions,
let us remember that we are enjoined " not to be weary in
Well doing," and " to do good whenever we have an oppor-
tunity."
As soon as sufficient funds are raised, it to
commence with twenty or thirty pupils, by taking a proposed is
house for
the purpose in Toxteth Park, that being considered the most
The and healthy situation.
the children will be brought up in the iples of
Established Church, and will receive a
suitable princeducati the
on to
fit them for domestic service.
At a competent age, they will be apprenticed, as in the
London .A.syltun, as servants in the families of subscribers,
Phyeor in other respectable families. It will also bean important
ct.,tO, watch over their future progress, and to promote
their continual welfare, when deserving. With this view,
when under the necessity of changing their places, they will
be assisted in procuring others, and temporary accommoda-
tion-will be afforded them, if practicable—thus keeping them
under the constant guardianship of the Institution.
