OF THE

APPEAL

LIVERPOOL CHARITABLE SOCIETY,

FOR
VISITING THE SICK AND DISTRESSED AT THEIR

CONDUCTED BY

OWN DWELLINGS,

➢IEMBERS OF THE ESTABLISHED
CHURCH.

Relief given to the Poor of all Religious Persuasions.

THE COMMITTEE of the LIVERPOOL CHARI-
TABLE SOCIETY are constrained by the most urgent
necessity to make this appeal for pecuniary assistance. At no
period perhaps since its formation were the Funds so reduced :
they are insufficient for even one week's ordinery expenditure
at this period of the year; and if not liberally and promptly
augmented, the Committee will he under the painfol necessity
of suspending its operations, and that too-at a season when the
want of employment amongst tlye,inustrions and deserving
poor, and the severity of the,e6ther,call for the exercise of an
even unusually large tneas46e of liberality. _ _ _

Ilenocreconduc:g die..;'Ocie};llii;robably recommend
it to many, by reas of its tendency to detect imposture and
prevent abuse ; relief is not afforded till the applicants have
ruw been visited heir own dwellings, and then it is generally
administer in food or clothing, and but rarely in small sums
of mo . The Society has 28 gratuitous visitors, and during
the last five years has relieved upwards of 14,009 cases, con-
sisting of 50,000 individuals, to whom more than 20,000 visits
have been paid.
The Committee are not unmindful of the exertions now mak-
ing to establish a Scripture Readers' Society in this town, and
that collections have recently been made in most of the
Churches in aid of several of the Local Charities ; still they
trust that the needful assistance will not be withheld from a
Society which, during a period of twenty-eight years, has been
instrumental in alleviating the bodily sufferings of the dis-
tressed poor, whilst at the same time, by seasonable advice and
the distribution of the Scriptures and Re'igious Tracts, its vi-
sitors have endeavoured to impart theconsolations of the Gospel
to those who were bowed down by poverty and sickness.
Subscriptions and Donations will be thankfully received by
the President. the Rev. J. JONES, Rural Dean, Waterloo ; by
Mr. ROSE, Charitable Institution House, Slater-street; by the
Collector, Mr. TOWNSFIEND •, at the Courier-office, Castle-
street ; or by any member of the Committee of Visitors.
