'The town, we su,pret, will hail with acclamation
Che effort which the li ec:ors, in co-operation with
the Bishop, are making to renew the work •of
Cll')rch ex!ciision in Liverpool. It is long enough,
almost too kn.!, since the last undertaking of the
erne kind was tumight to a close. Every day is
Vio4ing. an eillfir4ed number of thinking men to
th- convic ion, th it there is no other way of even '
Liiinanizinu the masses of fellow creatures which
ire accumulating ariit:d by spreading re-
iigitrus influences amongst them, That which we
4ve be'n slow to do. from the highest of principles,
iv, are now finding nece:.si•y of doing, from con-
614eration., of prodenek• sod sell-defence. And is it
sot time for I,lverp.ol to be,tir itself, when it finds
1-. el tying tinder the i,npoialion of standing lowest
in the scale of British towns in respect both of
Ledlih and tn.,ral:.

The form( r stivria tie a,e be2inning to cope with,

cr'otr)r instead of punish; ng it— he police which aims
teaching what is yo6d, instead of merely repres-

eyists for niakinj. and for making it very
‘reolion,ly. To lie ,r of the tens and twenties of

one with a conscious shut) :er ; for, divide the blame
Cf such a state of 'how. as we will, a painful por-
t9n temains to every one. We would rather close
Ctlr eyes to the mig nit tide of our work, until some
vrtion of it shall been accomplished—until
toe baht of morniosz shall show us some portion of
Our 1 hour and peril past.
Who (Asked the at the meeting the other
day) would hate had the heart to set about raising
014... ye £600,000 tor the purpose of building churches,
£4O 000 a-year for clergymen's salaries, if told
114-n years ao th tt ,itch stints would be required ;
1,40 yet within that space of time those sums have
teen raised.

The time, too, is surely auspicious for making
adilinon to the rut que•ts already won. We
gear every day—and we ;,:tilLe not to hear it —of
41:e thousands which are shuri lv to be spent in pro-
sooting loyal, and chatit,;thle, and social affections
titoingst u fur a single (I,iy. Some hearts must
surely glow with a desire ut ti iing honour, with at
I,i=l an equal poriioti of their earthly substance, to
the Kito4 tit Kin, anti ut sect', in benefits to their
creatures which are to mil last the day or the
yk-ar, or even tie very bounds ut time itself.

- The new elite ties hien •he present.iirOiosal con-
trmplates, are to he htu t tinder an Act passed a few
lears ago, usually kn'two by the name of Peel's Act.
