LIVERPOOL CHARITABLE SOCIETY,

FOR VISITING THE SICK AND DISTRESSED AT
THEIR OWN DWELLINGS.

ASERMON will be preached (God willing) in
behalf of the above Society, at ST. MARK'S CHURCH,
Duke-street, by the Rev. WILLIAM POLLOCK, A.M., To-
MORROW EVENING, (Wednesday,) the 6th instant. Divine
Service to commence at Seven o'clock.

This Society has been engaged for twenty-four years in mi-
nistering to the necessities of the sick and destitute, and, in
common with other charitable institutions, has found abundant
opportunities of usefulness amidst, the large and 'increasing
number of poor in this populous town.
The average annual numbei of cases relieved by the Society,
of late, has been 2176, comprising upwards of 8000 individuals.
In addition to fond, articles of bedding and clothing are given
where most needed. Its visitors endeavour, while relieving
bodily wants, to promote the spiritual welfare of the poor, and
many opportunities of Christian usefulness are open to them in
their visits.

The high price of provisions and severity of the weather, com-
bined with the many cases of weakness and destitution arising
from the late prevailing sickness, cause the applications for
relief, at present, to be numerous and urgent ; and the funds
of the Society being exhausted, the Committee have no resource
but in an urgent appeal to those whom God has blessed with
abundance to supply them with the necessary means. This
appeal, they trust, will be responded to, so that at this season
of Christian joy and thankfulness they may be enabled to cheer
the abodes of misery, and to cause the hearts of the destitute
to rejoice, through the timely relief they are enabled to supply.
Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer, J. Rigby,
Esq., Sandon-terrace' Upper Duke-street; at the Commercial
Bank, High-street; by the Collector; at the Courier-otlice,
Castle-street ; by Mr. Rose, Bible Depository, Slater-street)
and by any Member of the Committee.
