TO THE PARISHIONERS OF LIVERPOOL.
MY CHRISTIAN FRIENDS,
IT would be difficult 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 nor-
shipping God on the Sabbath-day, and yet not feel an awful
sense of their spiritual misery. We all require to be reminded
of the high and holy nature of our faith, and of the fearful res-
ponsibility under which we are placed as accountable creatures
for the due discharge of our Christian profession. How deplo-
rable, then, must be the state of those who may be said to be
living without 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 steadfastness 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, by the
exertions of the late Bishop of this Diocese, four District Pa-
rishes were formed in Liverpool, 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 outlay
of about .417,000. The erection of a Church for the fourth
still remains to be accomplished, and I earnestly call upon you
to assist in this blessed work. You will, lam 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 an i;-
norant person has been instructed, many a careless one who
could not be induced to seek a sanctuary at a distance from his
own home, has been brought to attend to the Services of the
Church ; 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 most 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 your utmost to assist in
raising Christ's banner on this desolate waste, and furnish the
materials for fighting manfully against sin, the world, and the
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 £7,000.
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,—nay, witness the glad tidings
of the Gospel piercing its most dismal recesses, and carrying;
home to the hearts and convictions of its now benighted in-
habitants 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. BROOKS.
