CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY

The eighth anniversary of the Liverpool Auxiliary
Branch of the Church Pastoral Aid Society was held last
evening, in the lecture-room of the Collegiate Institution.
In the absence of the Chancellor of the Diocese, who
was prevented from attending by indisposition, the chair
was taken by the worshipful the Mayor, T. B. Horsfall,
Esq.. The attendance of ladies and gentlemen was nume-
rous, the body of the hall as well as the lower gallery be-
ing well filled. On the platform we noticed, in addition
to the deputation, about thirty of our local clergy.
Prayer having been offered up,
The CHAIRMAN said that he would not detain them by any

general observations of his own in reference to the advantages
afforded by that Society, for he felt that any such observations
from him were unseemly, as he had no doubt many of his
friends around him would lay before the Meeting its practical
usefulness and benefit during the last year, and if there was
one amongst them who_doubted its usefulness, he would ask

them only to go through the Borough Gaol, which was origi-
nally calculated to accommodate only 400 or 500 persons, and
there were now in it upwards of 1000. He would further ask
them to look at the rapidly increasing population of the town,
and say whothar

Juvu uy tine unurcn, and' it, tneretore, tnose wants were
not provided for by the Church they would not be provided
for at all.—(Hear, hear.) Before calling for the Report
he could not forbear calling attention to the last occasion on
which he had the opportunity of appearing on that platform.
The person fillirwitketaffice which he (the Chairman) then oc--
cupied was at that time Bishop of Chester, but who now, to the'
honour of 1,901 John Russell, was the Archbishop of Canter-
bury. (Cheers.) Whilst they reg etted the loss they had sus-
tained in that estimable prelate's- promotion, they could not
but regard it, at the same time, as of gre.at benefit when it was
considered in connection with that Society, because it might
be concluded that the Archbishop of Canterbury, as Chairman
of that Society would, doubtless, be the means of uniting
many individuals with it who, from conscientious scruples on
many points in Christian discipline, had hitherto abstained
from becoming members of it. He would only hope for in-
creased co-operation from all those who had hitherto sup-
ported the Society, and that those who had not yet joined it
would' do so.

The SECRETARY (the Rev. C. W. Law]
„ THE REPORT.

'ence) then read

"Your committee, who at the conclusion of the years 1846
and 1847, had the happiness of declaring an increase in the re-
turns of the Auxiliary of the Church Pastoral Aid Society, must
this year have the pain of communicating a decided decrease in
the amount which its labours have been permitted to transmit
to the pr.rent society. The last year's return was .ieBol, the
present return amounts to £672. A sum of about .50, raised
as a special fund, had certainly swelled the amount. Still, ex-
clusive of that item our annual return falls short of the past by
about 'l2O. Thus it should seem that the distress which has
affected so many institutions, and overthrown so many privat
establishments

bas made itself felt in our humble association
riot as immediately, affecting any in this town

y uas no weeitiy expenditure, or cumbrous esta-
blishment to maintain, but they must remember painfully the
steady, though reluctant, refusal with which petitions from
needy cures must be met by a parent committee, staid ini their
career of benevolence by the diminution of their resources. A
most momentous year for the town and for the empire has just
elapsed. A storm has-passed over the face of the commercial
world, which might deserve to be described in the mighty words
of Scripture,—" A great and strong wind: has rent the moun-
tains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord." Our
colossal state still trembles under the experien e and recollec-

non or what she has gone through ; the violence of the convul-
sion is seen in many directions. It is felt to a far greater extent
than it is seen. And shon/d it please the disposer of the destinies
of nations that we should "renewour strength," generations must
-cs away before 1847 will be forgotten. But though there

s little likelihood of the year being forgotten, your committee
permit themselves to observe that something more than remem-
brance is required of such a dispensation : it is improvement
that ought to be extracted from it. It may supply subject of
gratitude to those who hare been able to support our society,
that they have had the opportunity of doing so, while others,
amidst their own personal distress, have lost the privilege.

And if among our friends there are any whom the tide of prOs-
parity has forsaken, we may say confidently that no retrospect
will be more grateful ; no past expenditure will be so unques-
tioned and satisfactory to the conscience (which under such

circumstances will consider the past expenditure) as the con-
trail:awn which was freely given while power remained to mi-
nister to the spiritual or temporal sorrows of men. But, per-
haps; there may be those who may or should hear in the whirl-
wind voice of the Lord reclaiming that wealth which its
possessors knew not how to improve to his glory 1 How tardily
has the stream of wealth which has flowed in this town been
employed to communicate the Gospel to its own crowded popu-
-1 1.1.

lation, and now the stream has ceased to flow. It has gone, but
left behind the responsibility and the guilt of unrighteous stew-
ardship, In examining into the nature of the diminution of their
returns;they are able to trace it to a diminution in the church col-
lections, where, to a certain extent, it might expect to be found.
The collections connected with the feature of diminution, stand
in some instances in startling contrast with the grants which
the society is supplying to the incumbent. Your committee
conceive that these facts, especially the last, speak pointedly to
the clerev of the town. And though it' is for the laity of

the community to supply the resources, and they must gi;:e
account of their stewardship, they venture to express a hope
that the urgent claims of our own town and country are sub-
mitted to their congregations with that decision, earnestness,
and distinctness of men who are aware that there is a respon-
sibility upon th e nation to provide for As own wants, which is not
incurred in any other
.direction whatever. If any provide not
for his own, and especially for those of. his, own household, he
is worse than an infidel, and hath denied the truth." Neither
need they omit to add,. that the society-must-look upon such
incumbents as have enjoyed her ready aid, to the loosening
their own burthens, as bound by the benefits received, and by
the experience which they have tasted of the weight of the
excessive cures to exert themselves to make such returns to
her as may enable her to prosecute her mission throughout the
land. Your committee most earnestly entreat both laity
and the clergy of the town, who approve of the principles of the
Pastoral Aid Society, and through the enlightening grace of
the Spirit are able to sympathise with ber in the pursuit of her
objects, the salvation of souls and the glory of God, to bestir
themselves this coming year for the regaining that financial
position which they trust is only lost for a season. It is ca-
pable of being regained, though not without energy, not with-
out self-denial. This is not a moment for an Englishman to
flag. This is not a society which can be allowed to wither,
at least compatibly with the honour of our Lord, the comfort
of our consciences, and the existence of our church. The
energy of men is now busy visiting the crowded and pestiferous
alleys of our town ; and public opinion awakened listens, with
something of horror, to well-supported information; the drift
of whose testimony is that human life, through the want of
fresh air, fresh water, and personal cleanliness, is curtailed in
the case perhaps of millions of that proportion which the laws
of God had appointed. Men, women, and children are de-
prived of some years of their brief existence ; and astartled
community is rising up
.to their rescue. Your committee can
sympathise; with suffering humanity.
.But they "believe."
They believe that there is an. immortality beyond the grave.
They believe that without holiness no man shall see the Lord,'
and would learn from the worth. which is assigned to this. pre-
sent life, and from the pains which are
.bestowed upon its pre-
servation, what value ought to be assigned, and what pains
ought to be bestowed, upon the salvation of a soul.'

The Rev. G. W. WARE, in moving the firstreSolution;that
the report and accounts be received and passed by the meeting,
said, it was a somewhat singular coincidence, that the report
and accounts which had been read should have dwelt so much
upon financial matters. The coincidehce was, that the whole
country seemed to be engaged in subjects of finance. The state-
ment made in the British House of Commons, on Friday last,
was one great iaroof of this position. It seemed from that
statement that the state owed £3,000,000 more than from her
present sources of revenue she was able to meet, and it appeared
that, on the part of the minister there was a proposition to
meet the expences of the state; but there did not appear to be
any desire to meet the current o
ex pen
ces.of the church. The
I rifio
et the
whatu ch
ever was
question, then, of the spiritual destitution mentioned in the
, in
report, naturally arose. It would not, he thought, be denied
that it was of the greatest importance that every facility should
be given for the reception of Christian truth to those who were
disposed to embrace it. It was, also, a moral as well as a
bound Christian
to
circulateduty,

capacity of life he might be placed. As a proof of this they had
only to appeal to the state of their own town. The speaker
then referred at some length to the scenes which as a minister
of the gospel he had to witness in the town, and depicted, in
painful colours, the spiritual and moral degradation which was
to be seen in the cellar occupations around them. There were
cases in which he had been summoned to the death bed of those
sinking under typhus and other diseases, where he had found it
physically impossible to make any imoression on those great
matters which concerned the soul, and his only consolation had
been that in some of those cases he had found that the sufferer-
err had been regular attendants at churches where the truth
only was preached. In suchcases, it was consoling to reflect thal
souls had not perished. But he had visited many, very many
cases, where he had found them without the knowledge of the
living God. In the present Society they had two distinct
means of operation. The first was through the instrumentality
of the duly ordained Minister of the Gospel, and the second
through their lay agents. To the first appointed means, no
true member of the Church could urge any valid objection.
The ordained Ministers of Christ had a power over the people
which no other individuals or body could command. He re-
peated it, and he did, so with all Christiay humility, that they
had a command over them which no other persons could have,
and therefore, to fulfil their high mission it was necessary that
their numbers should be increased in a degree commensurate
with the increase of the population amongst which they la-
boured. Then with regard to the question of lay agency, if they
found a class of individuals built tip in holy faith, and in holy
resolutions, who were content to work with them, surely they
should encourage such merits, and enlist them under their
banner. After some further ouservations, calling upon all
classes to assist them when " multitudes were perishing for
lack of knowledge," the speaker said that it was not In the ca-
pacity of a beggar that he appeared before them. He pleaded,
not for the haughty God of Mammon ; but he did plead for
taxation, and, peradventure, on Monday next, they would find
that they would have to submit to taxation. If then, they were
compelled to submit to such contributions for earthly purposes,
surely they could not refuse the appeal made on behalf of the
King of kings for a tax which embraced peace and blessing to
thousands of immortal souls. Some would tax their luxuries,
some their talents, and incumbents like himself would be
delighted to welcome all who would assist them in visiting
the bed of sickness, and the couch of death, to impress upon
all the realities of religious truth. The speaker then referred
to lending libraries, and to the injurious books which tinder
the name of religion were often improperly placed in the hands
of readers, and stated that it was our great duty to guard
against the circulation of such books. In the course of his
ministry, a book belonging to a lending library had Cbme into
his possession, which gave an account of a pious minister,
though not of their church, who, it said, being filled with the
love of God, went out to China, and on the passage the ship
was wrecked, when the minister,though, as he had before said,
not a member of their church, was seen struggling in the
water, giving the drowning people absolution, and burying
them in the deep. The plain English of the story was, that the
boqk to which he alluded represented a Popish priest from
Popish France, and was one of the cunning devices of Popery
to deceive the foolish, and to endeavour to injure the real cha-
racter of the Protestant religion and its ministers. The work
to which lie alluded was published by a person,
.who though,
perhaps a pious person, had been led away by Popish advocates,
and was now in his 'Taper place as a member of that church.
He advised them, whenever• they saw the name of Burns to
any publication, at once to close the book as one in some way
belonging to Popery. The speaker then resumed, his seat,
having proposed that the report be received.
The Rev. W. GREENE ARMITAGE, one of the deputation from
the parent society, next came forward, and said that there were
thousands and tens of thousands of people, in different parishes
of this country, who were destitute of pastoral instruction. For
instance, there was one large parish in this county, which, in
the reign of Queen Elizabeth, contained six thousand inhabi-
tants and fifteen churches, or one clergyman to each four hun-
dred inhabitants ; but in the year 1845 there were in that county
one hundred thousand inhabitants, whilst at the same time the
number of churches had only increased from fifteen to seven-
teen. (Hear.) When he (Mr. Armitage) first joined the Pas-
toral Aid Society, he ascertained that there were in one district
40,000 inhabitants, with only two churches, and he also knew
of one clergyman who had 30,000 souls under his charge. (Hear.)
He next alluded to two parishes near London, where Sunday
trading' was carried on, and where 1064 shops had been
noticed as being open on Sunday morning, and in that district
12,527 did not attend any place of public worship. He next
entered into some statistics with regard to a parish which had
come under the notice of the society, and in which the parties
were principally Socinians, Papists, or Mormonites, and lie
dwelt upon the desirableness of the society being enabled to

Isend its pastors into such benighted places. He could not say
that the Church-people of Liverpool had been unfaithful, but he
wished them to take up this as a personal question, and he felt
that they must be personally identified with this movement.
34,znchester, Stalybridge, and Warrington were places which
stood in peculiai• need of the exertions of the society, and he
felt convinced that some years ago it was mainly owing to the
welt direeted exertions of this society that the labouring
classes had been restrained from deeds and acts of violence.
They had to report that in Manchester and Liverpool, and the
manufacturing districts, there had not been that amount of
subscriptions which they had a right to expect, but he did not
despair. True it was that there had been great distress in
those districts, but then it must be borne in mind that there
had been similar distress in the agricultural districts; and,
notwithstanding this, the subscriptions of the agricultural

aistricts had increased ;. and, notwithstanding all the defalcations
of the manufacturing districts, they were able to report an
excess in the past year of .t'l2o, It must be borne in mind
that there were 332 incumbents with an aggregate population
of 2,094,958 souls under their charge, who had at the present
time grants from the society to provide stinend% 9SI rlovirtr-

The society's present rate of income is estimated at £24,700,
which is .e 5,128 less than the actual expenditure. There were
also in the list approved applications for 28 curates and 26 lay
assistants, requiring £3,750 per annum to provide the neces-
sary stipends. The rev. gentleman concluded by seconding
the report, which was carried.

The Reir. W. BRUCE,VCumbent of Wicker, Sheffield, re.
lated many interesting facts, showing that through the labours
and effects of the society large districtsy that were before
plunged in moral darkness, were now redeetned to virtuous,
kindly, and religious feelings—to honourable dealings amongst
themselves, and to fear and love towards their- God. He nar-
rated numbers of affecting instances, giving names and places,
proving the truth of his premises, and showing the benign in-
fluence of the truth on all classes and on all ages. The effects
were' alike in the manufacturing and in the mining districts,
including the coal fields. He feared, however, that too much
was attempted to " educate " the people without a regard for
their souls, in place of endeavouring to "evangelize" them—
without which they could not become true to others or them-
selves. He, in conclusion, appealed strongly to his auditory
for funds in behalf of the numerous communities who had
made applications to the society (fifty-four in all), and who
numbered upwards of 300,000 souls.
Mr. LAWRENCE then proposed a collection, and while it was
proceeded with a hymn was sung.
The Rev. J. B. MARSDEN, Vicar of Great Missenden, then
addressed the assemblage in a very effective speech. The
society deserved their support from its object, its attachment
to the Church of England, and its being sanctioned by the
Head of the Church. It was an unassuming, an almost silent
society ; but he liked it the better on that account. This
showed its serious character. Noise was an indication of po-
verty of mind, and, in the operations of vegetable as well as-
moral nature great changes were accomplished by silent pro-
gress. He considered lay agency as almost of the very
" essence" of the church, and would rejoice were it more
forcibly brought into operation in behalf of the society. He
gave several affecting anecdotes.

A vote of thanks was passed amidst much applause to the
CHAIRMAN, who said that he was always glad to promote any
institution having for its object the glory of God, and the
amelioration of his fellow men.

The SECRETARY congratulated the meeting on the amount
of the collections on Sunday, which he would hereafter parti-
cularise.

A public breakfast will take place this morning, at the
Adelphi Hotel, at which the Rev. Dr. M`Neile will pre-
side. The adjourned meeting will be held this evening,
in the Concert-hall, at which Adam Hodgson, Esq. will
take the chair.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF FRAUD BY USING
THE NAME OF THE REV. DR. M`NEILE.

Yesterday, at the Police-court, a young man, with an aqueline
nose and black whiskers, and who gave his name as James
Goldsmith, was brought before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of
having surreptitiously obtained a bank check. The Rev. Dr.
M'Nerie appeared on the bench. Mr. Dowling, head constable,
stated the particulars of the case. He said that the prisoner
had written to the Postoffice here, stating that he expected a
letter would arrive, addressed to the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, D.D.
No. 41, Jervis-street, and requesting that it might, without
mistake, be delivered there. A letter so addressed did arrive,
and the postman on taking it to the house stated, that he was
told by the female who opened the door, that no such person
as the Rev. Hugh M'Neile resided there; but Mrs. Broad-
hurst, who kept the house, hearing what was going on, said
that a man named , formerl there,
had called the dayGol befdore,smith anwhod had had
stated that helodge exd pected
to receive a letter, but not addressed in his own name;—
adding that it would be directed to the Rev. Hugh M'Neile,
and that when it came he wished to forward the letter to.
Manchester to the address of the person for whom it was, and
which address he, at the time, wrote with a pencil on a piece of
paper which he left with Mrs. oadhurst. he postman, hav-
g some suspicion, did not leave the letter T
with Mrs. Broad-
hurst, but returned it to the postmaster, Mr. Banning, who.
forwarded it to the Rev. H. M'Neile, at Aigburth. On its being
opened by the reverend gentleman, he found it to be a letter
from the Bishop of Bangor, in reply to one supposed to have
been written by himself ( soliciting a contribution), and en-
closed was a check on Williams's bank, of. Chester, for five
guineas, towards the relief of the poor Irish in Liverpool. Mr.
M'Neile not having made any such application, at once re-
turned the letter and check, in an enclosure to the postmaster,
who informed the police; and the letter, still enclosing the
check, was given to the postman for delivery in the usual
way. Yesterday ( Monday) morning, the postman enquired at

He received it ; and some of the police being placed in the vici-
nity, he was apprehended, and the letter and cheque were found
upon him. Mr. Dowling added that the Bishop of Bangor had
been written to on the subject, in hopes that the letter written'
to his lordship, applying for the donation, would be forthcom-
ing. The woman who kept the house in 'Jervis street (as well
as Dr. M`Neile) being present, he (Mr. D.) thought sufficient'
proof would be adduced through them to justify the magistrate
in remanding the prisoner. The Rev. Mr. M‘Neile, in gentleand expressive terms, stated the facts as to all that had fallen
within his knowledge. He said that it was unfortunate that
the case should come before the public ' • but some person had
written to the Bishop of Bangor—not he. Mr. Dowling said
that he had some reason to believe that a similar letter had
been written to the Bishop of Bath and Wells, The prisoner
being called upon for his defence, stated that about five years
ago he had been converted to Christianity, and had been bap-
tized. He expressed in grateful terms the kind treatment he
then received from the Rev. H. M'Neile, and said that he had
just come from the United States : that he had, since his ar-
rival, became known to two gentlemen, one of whom called
himself the Rev. Mr. M`Neile; that they had employed him in
going errands, and had induced him to receive the latter as Mr.
M`Neile, at the house in Jervis-street, where he had before
lived. The gentleman who had called himself Mr. M'Neile to
him had, he felt certair, absconded. The prisoner was then
remanded, it being expected that the letter sent to the Bishop
of Bangor will be received, to complete the evidence.
