TO THE'. "PUBLIS' Or LT773- PO L
AND ITS PPi',7l(-4 -7W7rii;71.71 ••
UAVING been appointed to take the Manaeernent of
various Societies connected with the Town of Liverpool,
I feel it my duty to lay their several claims plainly and clearly
before you.
The very little support which even the most favoured of
them have received, considering the wealth and - importance
of the Town, must be accounted for, I imagne, from their
objects and views not having been prominently broueht be-
fore all classes of the Inhabitants. .•
I may just state, in corroboration of this, that there is not
one person, out of every hundred in Liverpool, who eebecribes
to any of the cherities of the town, and not one in ten (whose
names appear in the Directory) who subscribes to tiny of these
charities, and of these it may fairly be presumed that scarcely
the name of one appears who might not-eubscribe something.
I will now give a brief summary of the objects of the va-
rious Societies, and shall be in attendance at my Office-every
day, from Ten to Four o'clock, where I slralrte most happy
to receive Donations or Subscriptions, large or small, to any
or all of the followinf; Associations. • •
JOSEM CRISP, -3S, Church-qi•eet:
Liverpool Protestant AssOciation.:
The object of this Association isFirstato combine in one
Christian brotherhood of self-defence--e
all truly love true re-
lig,ion and genuine liberty ; all who Sincerely advocate the free
circulation of the unnutilated and unadulterated Word of
God ' • all who assert and defend the right of private jade: rnent ;
all who venerate the inviolable sanctity of an oath ; all real
loyalists who maintain the unrivalled and universal suprereacy
of the King or Queen of England within these realm:, and
renounce, abjure, and detest any allegiance whatever to any
• foreign power or potentate.. ecclesiastical or civil. This is
the direct object of our Protestant Assoeiation. considered in
its Scriptural foundation, and its national exercise.- Our
second object is, to address ourselv,:with earnest affection
to those of our fellow-countrymen who have the ;pi: fort-vac
still to labour under anti-scriptural and anti-national
jndices ; who are denied the free circulation of the pore nsord
of God, and the right of private judarnent ; who are ,caught
that oaths. under certain circumstances, nay and - ought to
be violated ; and who are commanded to yield theinfirst and
highest allegiance to a foreign ecclesiastical authority,
The alarming spread of Popery, and the impathy,of British
Protestants, render the exertions of this Society of the most
vital importance to the well-being of the country, and oe,con-
tinuance of the invaluable blessings of civil & religious libeiTy.
The mode of working is, by Petition, Public Meetings. and
the circulation of Tracts, &c. containing useful and important
information. The Association being now in. Active opera-
tion, stands much in need of increased fel:else.
,The rula of
the Society constituting membership, is. as folloWa That
all persons professing faith in the Holy Trinity, and being
members of, or friendly to, the Eitabiiiiied Church of Eng-
land and Scotland, who shall subscribe five shillings annually,
or give a donation of one guinea at any one time, shall be
Members of this Association."
Church Misslonary Society.
The ohjects.of this Society are so well known that it is
needless now to recapitulate them. I . would, therefore,
merely add, that the deficiency in the Society's funds of
nearly £ll,OOO, and the strong and urgent calls from India
for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society more
than ever pressing.

Itbernian Society.
The following frets are sufficient to show the importance
of this Society in promoting the spiritual welfare of the Irish
people :
I.—There are in Ireland between two and three millions of
Irish-speaking population, of whom two millions speak
English as well ; and between Eve'and six millions who
speak English eielusivele.
-Among the English-speaking population. who srce large
majority of the Irish nation, the London Hibernian So.
ciety is principally employed ; while, at the same time,
far those who speak Irish only, it epee rots Irish-speaking
Scripture-readers, and forms, where it is required, Irish
classes in its schools.
-It is the principal Society to which the frisk Clergy,
and Protestants in general, look for aid in establishing
and maintaining their Scriptural Schools, and a far
greater number of applications are received from them,
in the present state of the funds, can be complied with.
-The number of Day-shools is 1157, containing 91,066
Scholars, of whom 34,067 are Children of Roman Ca-
tholic Parents.
Will you not help Ireland by supporting such a -So--
ciety as this ? Every security is given that your money
will be prudently expended. No aid is afforded except
where the Rules of the Society are abided by ; the prin-
cipal of which are, that the whole Scripture shall he read
in the Schools, and portions committed to memory ; and that
every School shall submit to a quarterly examination. by a
competent Inspector, whom the Society appoints. Its plan
is so econirnical that a child is educated for a year for little
more thsn half-ascrown. 'Have you thus educated a child—
or, if not, will you not do it ?
Lancashire Lord's Day Society.
The sanctities of the Divine appointment of the Lord's
Day are continually invaded from new quarters, end among
increasing multitudes, by the spirit of -commerce, or of
worldly pleaSuhe ; while the bulwarks of law, raised to defend
them,!are-zio more efficient for that object than the fortresses
of antiquity to resist' the alterations and improvements of
modern warfare. On these accounts, there seemed an abso-
lute necessity that the friends of religion—who feel the favour
of God to be the only safety and prosperity of a people-e
should combine in some effort (more powerful than could
proceed from individual exertions, however zealously made,)
to stand in the breach against the wide and wasting 'flood of
Sabbath violations, by the formation of a Society which
should have for its object the amendment of public feeling
and principle on this momentous subject—the diffusion of
spiritual light upon the common mind—the assistance of
those who might wish for help in the high duty of keeping
holy the Lord's Day—and especially of such legislators as
might have Christian courage to lift up their voices in the
deliberate assemblies of the nation against this great trans-
gression of the country.
The Society's operations are carried on by the instrumen-
tality of placards, addresses, memorialS, tracts, and petitions
to Parliament.
Church Pastoral 1-`,H Sc.ciety.
This Society has especial claims upon the town of Liver-
pool, as it is the means of providing many additional curates
and scripture readers, at an annual expense of 4591, -white
the returns from the town for the past yeareeere but £ll7.
Surely Liverpool should, as an auxiliary, return more than
she receives.
The three fellowiag societies are especially.deroted to the
benefit of the seamen, and of those engaged in navigation
on the canals, and therefore deserve the cordial support of
all who are connected with the shipping and commerce of
this port.
The Mariner's Caturch •
Has now been established, under the patronage of the Bishop
of the Diocese, for more than twelve years ; and, as fnr as its
means will allow, is carrying out the objects of the ;
end stut
with increasing benefit. But their exertions are limited, for
want of further support, and Owing to the necessary repairs
of the church, which have been lately effected, the Society is
still involved in debt. It is, therefore, confident', hoped
that the public will assist in liquidating this, and by lucre-, ed
subscriptions enable the committee to enlarge their sphere of
usefulness, by opening schools for the children of seamen e•.d
flatmen.
The —aval and Military 'Bible
and Prayer Book and
.;0,-;1.,1*7 •
Are also in great need of assistance. Their object is to visit,
the shipping, by means of an agent who is employed fo:
purpose, and to supply the ca-ews with prayer-hooka
,and
homilies, and copies of the Scriptures, at reduced prices ;
and, by a law of the Parent Navel and Military Bible Society,
it is their wish to place on board every ship; flat, and steiun-
boat, which leaves the port, a igratuitous supply of theSdrin-
'tures; for the use of the crew (in proportion to the number of
' the men), where there are no means ofeellipg them. I (rest
that the claims of these Societies will meet with a willirq re-
sponse from all who are interestedin the well-being of the
seamen, as their funds are totally inadequate to carry out
this desirable object without involving the parent society in a
considerable loss.
Trinitarian F.iiNe Society.
The peculiar object of the Trinitarian Bible Society is to
Protesta.q Versions of the Holy Scriptures,
in the Portuguese, Spanish, and.t.k.rman languages, in :the
translation of which they are already engaged: and it evil! be
the particular design of the Liverpool Auxiliary, in addition
to the ordinary modesof circulating the Word of God, to em-
ploy an intelligent pious person, as an agent, to Visit th abodes
of the poor and ignorant, whom there is no othentheans of
reaching, for the purpose of inducing them to take aninte-
rest in the Holy Scripture. and to become purchasers; by
weekly or monthly subscriptions. .
iverpool Jewish „Tiutittiti.ozi_
The object or this Institution is to provide a temporary
asylum for enquiring and converted Jews, and after eighteen
months experience, it has amply answered the beeevulent
! intentions of the promoters.
While the inquirer can obtain relief for
a timeesvheiail f

the mode of lg is so plain as lint to offer an incitMeMettit to
false or insincere professions. Much good is beirehd'dne ;
but the funds are so inadequate, that unless faesCome
forward more liberally with their means,' the v.'holtiffibtltu
tion mast be given up.

Society for Promoting Christfa,n*
amongst the Jei.vn. ese
The name of this Society sufficiently explains i s
ol*et.
It is to lead the lost sheep of the house of Israel to thiekSa-
viour whom they crucified.
. s
Christians are under a heavy obligation to the ,Tesys,ei'r it
was by them that the Sacred Voltime was preserved; artd to
them they stand indebted for Christianity itself. Bat- they
should feel interested on their behalf, not only for the hleesings

There are 50 Agents in minnection with the S.oci,•ty; .40. a of
