thin "rounds on them in sn article on "Churches at
English Watering-places" ;—" We clan our budget with
the mention of Weymouth. Here the cause of orthodoxy
hes been maintained for many years under difficulties at
a church called after the Holy Trinity, which is sirusted
on the opposite side of the harbour from that where
visitors chiefly reside. But the church is a most deplor-
able structure, pews of the worn kind and galleries
dominating throughout, and, with the exception of a daily
matins, the absence of evening Communions, and the
substitution of the S.P.G. for OILS., it has no advantage
over the professedly Evangelical church of St. John, for
In neither is so much as the eastward position used or any
attempt at propriety made. In fact, as regards the fabric,
St. John's Ls far meliorable, and in respect of doctrine and
ritual there is little or no difference observable. St.
Mary's and Christ Church an of the usual low type ; the
latter with &distinct flavour of Calvinism." In conclusion
the articles says:-" But there is one remark which, we
regret to say, applies to nearly every such place of resort
alike, whatever be its ecclesiastical tone—namely, that the
visitors exhibit the most selfish and niggardly parsimony
In their disbursements at church. They seem to think
every penny which dose not go for their own pleasure and
comfort during a holiday so much waste, and, though
they are very ready to avail themselves of accommodation
provided for them, nay, to unstop that intended for
resident churchgoers, to be more than profuse of their
cesiene if everything be not to their liking, they have no
mind to go to any expense to pay for what they have got,
much lase to proms anything better."—Had the writer
made any enquiries about St. Ilas7's and Christ Church he
would have learnt his strictures do not apply to visitors at
those churches. . . .
