TO THE PARISHIONERS OF LIVERPOOL.

MY CHRISTIA:Iki FRIENDS,
IT would be difficint to conceive that any one Who
has the real interests of religion at heart can regard that
portion of our population who are without the means of wor-
shipping God on the-Sabbath-day, and yet not feel an awful
sense of their spiriruemisery. We all require to be reminded
of the high and holy nature of our faith, and of the fearful •re-
sponsibility under Which 'we are placed as accountable crea-
tures for the due discharge of our Christian profession. How
deplorable, then, must he the state of those who may be. said
to be living withont`God in the midst of a Christian world--;
destitute of the opportunity of being taught the knowledge.of
salvation through -Jesus Christ, and of being urged to-stead-
fastness in faith and to purity in practice, and instructed-so to
live that they may be prepared to die.
It was under these convictions that, a few years ago, bythe
exertions of the late Bishop of this Diocese, Four District
si

aPperatorsic:i°ldmeesdrnwPoenrrietYlifcoreearffieHeodfd'these by the public liberality, at an out-
laystill remains to be accomplished, and I earnestly call upon-you
to assist in this blessed work. You will, I am sure, rejoice to
hear that much.good has resulted from what has been already
done. The Churches which have been already built are now
filled with large and respectable congregations : many anigno-
rant person hai been instructed, many a careless one who could
not be induced to seek a sanctuary at a distance from his•own
home, haft !wen hrought to attend to theocr-ricco of dm Chu' tit ,
many a profligate, who was growing up in practical infidelity,
has been led to-enter the House of Prayer upon the very spot
which had formerly been the scene of his criminal dissipation.
The District of Vauxhall, which still remains to be supplied,
is one of the snost destitute 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
will not, .I trust, allow this blot upon our Christian sympathy
to remain any longer; you will do sour utmost to assist in
raising Christ's banner in this desolate waste, and furnish-the
materials for :fighting manfully against sin, the world, andrthe
Devil. An opportunity now presents -itself of furnishing us
with a site and buildings which may be-converted into Schools
and a Church,-for the comparatively moderate sum of -.47,000.
Earnestly do I-entreat that this opportunity may not be lost.
After a ministry of more than half a century amongst you I
implore your aid, that before I lay down my head in the land
of forgetfulness, I may be permitted to see this mass -of
spiritual misery explored and relieved, may witness the_glad
tiding's of the Gospel piercing its most dismal recesses, and
carrying home to the hearts and convictions of its now be-
nighted 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,
JN. BROOKS.

Venerable Arch-
deacon BROOKS, or by the Treasurers, EDMUND AIOLYNEUX
and CHARLES GROVES, Esqrs.
