TUE ESTABLISHED CHURCH.

A recent writer says :•—" The present Church of
England was self• styled the Po lr Man's Church. It is
not difficult to understand how it has been so called.
Church rev,rues were originally divided into three parts
—tee first part for the maintenance of the pristhood;
the second for the maintenance and repair of the fabric
of the church; and the third for the relief of the poo-.
But now the people have to keep the church in
repair in the form of church rates; and the poor they
have to support in the torm of poor-rates; whilst the
bishops and clergy swallow up all. Ri.a.:l on, and reflect
at the same time. Think if our present State Church
does in any respect represent the spirit of Christianity,
as handed down to the disciples—the poor fishermen of
Galilee; or rather, does it not r2present the spirit of
M.mmon not of Jesue. Its God is Money, Rich Bene-
fleas, Hard Cash
" See the revenues of the Church of England, which
amount yearly to the enormous sum of 10,483,6991. Re-
peat it,—cry it aloud. The sum of ten millions, four hun-
dred and eighty-three thousand, six hundred and ninety-
nine pounds, which enormous amount, if divided as was
originally intended, to support the priesthood, to keep the
church in repair and to relieve the poor, would indeed
greatly relieve our vast community; but now, not one
penny comes to the poor, bat rather the poor man's pots
and kettles and the bed be•lies on are frequently sold by
mintion to make up this amount."
What will Churchman say to this?
