CORRESPONDENCE.

ST. THOMAS'S CHURCH SCHOOLS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD...
SIR,—As I was passing near St. Thomas's Church, t°
Warwick-street, Toxteth-park, I observed that the pros
posed day schools, sometimes mentioned in your Pro
as about to be erected in connexion with the church, bais
actually been commenced. Now we school-loving Pe°Pth
do not like to be disappointed in any treat connected vAie
our propensity, for our festivals are few at best. The
rev. gentleman at St. Thomas's has, however, cheated
ro
this time, for we had anticipated an enjoyment similar. 0,
that which we received at the laying of the foundatl%
stone of the school connected with St. Barnabas's cnuret;s
but the stone is laid, and we are left alone to guess at
ob.
reason of our disappointment. Perhaps it may be a P
tical reason. Alas! when the sun of politics rues in °
social atmosphere, it is the sun of the torrid zone : the
~03
earth is parched, the dew of love is gone, the dirty gr°"
cleaves asunder, and day after day a fresh split
sePG..i.,
tion—becomes visible to all. Perhaps it may be a de-0
to be different from others, a notoriety which in this FBlO
would not be desirable: Perhaps it may be a certain Iv
of quiet in which the rev. incumbent would indulge•
stogy
engage in the exciting scene of laying a foundation st 4;
for a church school, and which every christian can indn$
with satisfaction, is in these days a most glorious work, the
in consequence of the omission of the ceremony in ~;0.
above instance, an eclipse has partially obscured the "
tonic light, which would have been shed on the ounder-
taking, and the popular sympathy which would have b_etelit
thrown round the building. Some disappointed SU,,,g
some one of morbid sensibility may call this humbug,i;
its innocency and utility may be its best apologY• 0,
late happy and joyful scene at the Old Swan ought to cod,
vince all gainsayers of the propriety, importance, and a vantage, of laying the foundation stones of public buildings,
P
with all due ceremony and observance. üblic institutioas
are not always supported by the world for their intrinsic
worth, but often from the character of those connecteut
with them,a character not dependent on sterling nieriiti' tube
o some advantageous and showey qualities which fill $
field of observation. How often is attention roused by
little innocent trumpetting. As for our active and teas
lons secretary of the above schools, a man of business !11d
0,
self sacrifice, and when fame proclaims that " the Isa_inea,
have patronised," their sympathy is awakened.
,6",
behold " the blind are taught, and the orphan finusde,
home." Though the good folk of St. Thomas' have
prived us of the first treat, I trust they will not of the
cond festival or opening of the school. In the anticipatTei
of double pleasure at that happy time, I bid them, 6
speed in the name of the Lord.
