ST. JAMES'S CHURCH AND SCHOOLS,
CLITHEROE.
The Church Consecrated Octobef, 1839.
The Tower and Gollery erected November, 1842.
The Schools Enlarged November, 1842.
ORIGINAL DEBT, £990.
THE kind Sympathy of the Christian Public is most
earnestly directed to the fact, that the entire respon-
sibility of the Debt incurred on behalf of St. James's
Church and Schools, situated in a Manufacturing Dis-
trict, in the poorest part of Clitheroe, is hanging over the
Minister, which so heavily weighs upon his mind as ne-
cessarily to retard the exercise of his uni • sterial labours.
ST. JAMES'S CHURCH AN P SCHOOLS,
CLITHF,R SE
Under the Acts of 1 and 2 Wi! is IV., cap. 38, and I
and 2 Victoria, .p. 107.
The case of St. James's Church and Schools, Clitheroe,
is submitted to the consideration of the friends of the
Church, and the cause of Religion, under a conviction
that the peculiar circumstances connected with them— the
original want of Church accommodation, the efforts made
to supply that want, and the blessing which has appeared
to rest upon those efforts,—may justify an Appeal to the
Public.

The population of Clitheroe, there is every reason to
suppose, amounts at this time to 7,000, for which the old
church offers barely 1,100 sittings, a proportion of which
are allotted to the inhabitants of three other townshij, s in
the same chapelry ; and the population (which has in-
creased to its present amount from 1,368, in 1801,) is in-
creasing in the same rapid rate, through the activity and
extent of the manufacturing establishments. To provide
for this lamentable want, through the exertions of Dr.
Powell, and some other friends of true religion, St. James's
Church, containing 688 sittings, was built in the year
1839, at the end of Clitheroe, most remote from the paro-
chial chapel, in the immediate neishbourhood of factories
which employ not less than 1,700 hands, and within a
mile and a half of others, where more than 1,500 are em-
ployed. Seven-eighths of the congregation and commu-
nicants are of the labouring classes, principally young
people from these factories.

Owing to a deficiency of funds, the Church was left un-
finished; but, in order to accommodate the increasing
congregation, a gallery has since been constructed, and
the edifice adapted in some measure to its sacred character
by the erection of a tower and some other suitable and
decent improvements. The large increase of scholars,
(250 within twelve months) has rendered the enlargement
and additional furnishing of the school-house indispensa-
ble.

In providing for this religious and educational destitu-
tion (although the services of the architect were given
gratuitously), a debt of £990 has been incurred, towards
liquidating which the moderate contributions are earnestly
solicited of those who have a stake in the peace and sta-
bility of the country, and who need not be reminded that
the removal of ignorance is the "cheapest defence of na-
tionv;" of those who feel an interest in the welfare of im-
mortal souls, and who wish that the operative classes.
whilst labouring in the concerns of time, should also make
provision for eternity.
