It is proposed to build Day and Sunday schools in con-
nexion with St Thomas's Church, in the poor and densely
populated district in which it is situated, in Toxteth-park.
One third of the children who are of an age to receive
instruction attend no day school, there being no public
institution in the neighbourhood, and are growing up in
ignorance and vice. A Sunday School of nearly 300
children is held weekly in the church ; and the majority
of the children are so destitute of decent clothing, that
the respectable inhabitants of this great city would
scarcely believe were they to see them, that they are the
inhabitants of this town and the children of English
parents. The church is the munificent donation of John
Gladstone, Esq., to Liverpool, who erected and endowed
it at a cost of nearly £BOOO, and who has also with disinter-
ested benevolence intimated his intention of making a
large donation towards the erection of the schools. An
appeal will be made on Sunday next (for particulars see
advertisement) to the benevolent and charitable to aid in
this good work, which it is hoped, under God, may be
made the blessed means of leading many souls to the
knowledge of him, who is the way, the truth, and the
life.
