TO THE PARISHIONERS OT LIVERPOOL.
•MY CHRISTIAN FRIENDS,
11Ni7611.1a be difficult to conceive: that any one who
.1_ has the real interests of religion-at heart can regard that
portion of our population who are without the means of wor-
shipplsigGod on the Sabbath-day, and yet not feel an awful
sense tittiheir spiritual misery. We alt require to be reminded
<alba high and holy nature of our faith, and of the fearful re-
sponsibility under which we are plated as accountable crea-
turet for the due discharge of our Christian profession. How
•deplrirahle, then, must he the state,cf those who may be said
lo.'be"-living without God in the midst of a Christian world;
deStitute of the opportunity of being taught the knowledge of
•sitivation through Jesus Christ, stir: •of being urged to stead-
;fastness in faith and to purity in practice, and instructed so to
hive that they may be prepared Yo die.
It-stss under these convictions that, a few years ago, by the
• . rtions of the late Bishop .of-this Diocese, Four District
Parishes were formed in Liverpooty under the provisions of the
act commonly called Sir R. Peel's Act. Churches have been
provided for three of these by*the- public liberality, at an out-
/ay of about 17,000. The erection of a Church for the fourth
'still remains to he accomplished,- and I earnestly call upon you
to-assist in this blessed work. 'Yon will, I am sure, rejoice -to
'hear that much good has resulted' from what has been already
dope. The Churches which have been already built are now
r•filled with large and respectable-congregations : many tulip-to-
! -rant person has been instructed, many a careless one who could
lHint be induced to seek a sanctuary at a distance from his sown
ame, has been brought to attend to the services of the'Clturch;
many a profligate, who was .growing up in practical intdelity,
has been led to enter the House of Prayer upon the very-spot
rwhich had formerly been the scene of his criminal dissipation.
-The District of Vauxhall,Which -still remains to be supplied,
is -one of the most dc-stitute in our town. Its population-ex-
ceeds 9,000, and with the -exception of one very small Chapel,
there is no place of public worship within its precincts. 'You
i,will not, .I trust, allow this blot ...upon our Christian sympathy
to remain any longer; you•will eo sour utmost to assist -in
•raiising Christ's banner-in this-desolate waste, and furniebthe
:materials for fighting manfutly,against sin, the world, and the
k!Devil. An opportunity mow prevents itself of furnishing us
i 'with a site and buildings which-may be converted into Schools
and a Church, for the 'comparatively moderate sum •of .e,7.4X00.
'Earnestly do I entreat that this.oyportunity may nut be lost.
After a ministry of more than half a century amongst ,you. I
--implore your aid, that beforel lay down my head in the land
, of forgetfulness, I may 'be peri-aitted to see this macs of
L-spiritual misery explored and-relieved, may witness the -glad
f'tidings of the Gospel piercing itc most dismal receesee,and
i carrying home to the hearts-and convictions of its now be-
i -n:ghted inhabitants the _great truth that this Jesus whom we
!preach unto you is indeed the Christ,
I am,
With every sentiment of -affection and regard,
Your sincere friend and devoted Pastor,
JON. !MOORS.

PARR CHURCH ORGAN.—This long-desired instru-

TRADE in this neighbourhood is said to be exceedingly

moderately well clad ; and we bear of many with in-
