Position of the Free Churches in Our Large Towns
A letter to the Nonconformist argues for Free Churches to replace State Establishment in large towns. It defends Free Churches against claims of desertion of the poor, cites Liverpool and St George's Hall as examples, and urges Parliament action to curb Establishment privilege while expanding congregational provision and self reliance.
