CHURCH EXTENSION.

ST. MATTHEW'S, TOXTETH

MITE peculiar circumstances of this Church are
I earnestly recommended to the notice of the Public.
At a Meeting held in St. James' School-room, on the 28th of
October, 1845, for the purpose of devising some means for re-
lieving the great spiritual destitution which existed in that
district, the following facts were stated, viz.:—" That in the
united districts of St. James' and St. Thomas', Toxtetb, the
population amounted to 37,149 ; the entire Church accommo-
dation, 1834 Sittings; and that of these, only 8S were Free Sit-
tings for the Poor."
Deploring this state of things and determined to remedy it,
a number of the most respectable Merchants and Clergy of
Liverpool formed themselves into a Committee, and resolved
to build and endow three new Churches in the district. St.
Matthew's (the only one attempted) has never been completed.
It was opened for divine service in 1849 by license, and has
been kept open since, together with the Schools attached to it,
to a considerable extent, byyrivate means.
Unfinished, unconsecrate ~Ainendowed, and without a pas-
toral district, the Churr,,h labours under difficulties which
ought not to exist.

THE COMMITTEE have much satisfaction in
announcing that the difficulties which have hitherto
prevented their proceeding with the erectioh of the Church
are now overcome, and that, encouraged by the sanction of
the Bishop of the Diocese in the selection of the site and the
appointment of the Minister, they intend commencing at once
with the building; and the Committee gladly avail themselves
of this opportunity of gratefully acknowledging the kind
service of his Lordship in personally inspecting the neigh-
bourhood and bringing matters to so satisfactory an issue.
The design selected is calculated to afford accommodation
for 1,039 sittings, of which 264 are free; and whilst due regard
has been given to economy, the Committee have been guided
by the desire to erect a Church, which, while affording suitable
accommodation fer so rapidly-increasing a neighbourhood,
should also, in its architectural features, be found an ornament
to the district.

The Sum required by the Cpmmittee for
carrying out the plan i £5,500 0 0
The Contributions alreedy paid and pro-
mised amount to." 4,276 16 0

Balm& to be raised £1,223 4 0
The Committee, in announcing the result of their labours so
far, rely upon the continued efforts of the Friends of Church
Extension, and hope to find a cheerful and ready response in
the mind of the public; and that, by the means of those who
reside in the immediate district, and of others interested in
the spread of tree religion, the amount required may be
speedily raised, so that the Sacred Scriptures may be preached,
and the highest interests of this important and increasing
neighbourhood watched over by a resident Minister.
Subscriptions will be received by any Maid sER of the
COMMITTEE, or the same may be paid into the Liverpool
Borough Bank, to the Credit of the Fairfield Church.

PROPOSED BUILDING OF SCHOOLS

FOR
THE NEW PARISH OF ALL SAINTS,
LIVERPOOL.
Mills Par:sh contains a population of more than
.1. 8000 inhabitants; the total number of Children is about
2650, of which number 800 only attend some Daily School, and
600 attend Sunday Schools.
There being at present no adequate provision for the instruc-
tion of the Childi en of the Poor within the boundaries of this
pophlous Parish, it is proposed to erect Schools for the recep-
tion of Sunday, Daily, and Infant Scholars, at a cost •f about
'2500, inclusive of land, and the aid of a benevolent Christian
public is earnestly solicited.
It will, doubtless, be in the recollection of many, that the
old All Saints Church, situate in Grosvenor-street, being pri-
vate property, passed into tbe'hands of the Roman Catholics
towards the close of the veer 1844, when its congregation was
scattered, and the Schools were broken up; and on the ap-
pointment of the present Incumbent, the Rev. Henry Marlen,
in 1847, there was neither Church nor Public School provided
for the accommodation of the people committed to his charge.
In the year 1548 a new Church was built in Great Nelson-
street North, out of the funds of the Liverpool Church Boiling
Society, and the district of All Saints was thereby constituted
a new Parish for Ecclesiastical purposes, under the Act 6 and
7of Victoria. The body of the Churchi being free, affords
ample accommodation for the poor adult population; but the
means of instruction for their Children, up to this present,
have been but partially provided for.
The only Public Schools in the Parish are those belonging to
the Roman Catholic Chapel alluded to above, and the Sunday
Schools and Daily School for Girls more recently established
in connexion with the new Parish Church of All Saints • there
being no Daily instruction provided for either Boys or Infants
of the Protestant community resident within the Parish.
The Committee of the existing Schools, together with other
Members of the Congregation •f All Saints', viewing, with
deep concern, the insufficient means provided for the religious
instruction of the rising generation, have resolved, in humble
dependence on the Divine blessing, 'to make a strenuous effort
for the raising of Funds for the Building of New Schools, and
have commenced their labours by making their first appeal to
the inhabitants of the Parish. Those who have already been
waited on, have cheerfully responded according to their ability;
and even the Poor, by their weekly contributions, have mani-
fested a readiness to lend a helping hand to forward the good
work. But since the great mass of population of the Pa-
rish consists of Working Mechanics, Dock Porters, and other
Operatives, it would be boneless to expect to realise so impor-
tant an object as the Building of Schools adequate to the wants
of this populous neighbourhood, without the aid of those whom
God, in his good providence, has been pleased to place under
more advantageous circumstances.
The Committee, therefore, without further delay, unhesita-
tingly lay before the Public the urgent claims of this Parish on
their Christian sympathy, in the earnest hcpe that the Nobility
and Gentry, the Merchants and Tradesmen, of the Town of
Liverpool, who so liberally contributed to make provision for
the Adult population by the erection of a commodious Church
in the midst of the Parish, will not refuse to aid them in their
endeavour to give efficiency to that Church, by the addition of
Schools, in which the Children of the Poor may receive a sound
Scriptural Education, be trained to habits of industry, and
thereby become good and useful members of society.
