FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM, FOR LIVERPOOL
AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD.

The Right Rev, the Lord BISHOP of CHESTER.
PATRONESSES :
The Right Honorable the Countess of SEFTON.
The Right Honorable the Lady STANLEY.
The Right Honorable the Lady FRANCES SANDON.
The Right Honorable the Lady SKELMERSDALE.
The Honorable Mrs. BOOTLE WILBRAHAM.

VISITORS :
INRev. WILLIAM HESKETII. I Rev. JAMES HASSALL.
addition to the Charitable Institutions already existing
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 only poor, but parentless, 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 children to come unto me," evinced the
especial regard of our Blessed Saviour, 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 receiveth me." The Psalmist repeat-
edly sings the praises Or God as the helper and father nf the
fatherless, and " to visit the fatherless in their affliction" is
proalnunced by St. James to be drte of the graces of " pure
and undefiled religion."
Such are the powerful incentives to our exertions in this
work of 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 is proposed to
commence with twenty or thirty pupils, by
taking a house for
the purpose in Toxteth Park, that being considered the most
airy and healthy situation.
The children will be brought up in the ptinciples of the
Established Church, and will receive a suitable education to
fit them for domestic service.
At a competertt age, they will be apprenticed, as in the
London Asylum, as servants in the families of subscribers,
or in other respectable families. It will also be an important
object 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.
The following Ladies have consented to act as a
