THE UNIVERSITY PETITION FOR CHURCH

EXTENSION.

To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled:

The humble petition of the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Oxford,

Showeth,-That the Church of England has been the instrument, under Divine Providence, of countless blessings to the people of this country.

That it belongs to the very essence of a national church that her spiritual ministrations should be co-extensive with the spiritual wants of the whole community, offered freely to all men, though not enforced upon any one.

That it is at present notorious, and has been admitted in public and authentic documents, that the population of England and Wales having of late increased with a vast and unwonted rapidity, has outgrown the resources of the National Church; and a large proportion of the people are altogether excluded, without their consent or fault, from her public worship, religious instruction, and pastoral superintendence.

That this spiritual destitution, which is ever least regarded by those to whom it is most pernicious, has chiefly befallen districts the least capable, even if they felt the want, of supplying the remedy. That its immediate consequences, not to advert to future and higher interests, are VOL. XXI. NO. IV.

ignorance, vice, and disunion; and the partial and inadequate, however laudable, endeavours of other religious communities to supply the deficiencies of the Established Church, even whilst they restrain demoralization, tend to multiply and perpetuate our unhappy divisions.

That the only effectual remedy for these evils is the extension of the National Church; and nothing has hitherto been accomplished in order to this great end in any degree commensurate with its magnitude and importance.

That your petitioners do not overlook the benevolent exertions of individuals and societies, who have laboured, even beyond their means, to supply the na tional want; and they are deeply grateful to the legislature and to your honourable house for the encouragement and facilities extended to these endeavours, and more especially for that enlightened policy which dictated the acts for building and enlarging churches, and for the liberal grants in furtherance of these objects in the sessions of 1818 and 1823. But these supplies, admitted at the time to be inadequate to the occasion, have been exhausted; private munificence and the public bounty have only palliated the evil; and the spiritual destitution of the country, notwithstanding these exertions, has increased, and is still increasing.

That this deficiency of religious ordinances and instruction is a national evil; and it ill becomes a great and wealthy people to rest for the supply of a national

want either upon private liberality, or upon the voluntary efforts of those poorer districts in which the want especially prevails. That by no altered management or distribution can the remaining resources of the National Church, a great proportion of whose original endowments have been long since diverted by the state into other channels, be rendered sufficient to meet the growing evil: the nation alone can counteract it permanently and effectually. Divine Providence has entrusted the nation with unexampled resources, and your petitioners believe that it is the duty of the government and the legislature to direct them to this end; and the people at large, they do not doubt, will rejoice to see a portion of the national wealth devoted to the honour of Him who gave it, and employed in relieving the spiritual necessities of those by whose industry it has been developed.

Your petitioners, therefore, with the utmost earnestness, implore your honourable house to take the spiritual destitution of England and Wales into your most serious consideration, and to meet this great and acknowledged evil by such prompt and effective measures as to your wisdom shall seem most expedient, in order to arrest the progress of demoralization, prevent the increase and perpetuation of disunion, provide for the best interests of the community, civil, moral, and religious, and draw down upon a christian people the blessing of Almighty God.

And your petitioners will ever pray.
