scriptiOa Fl thismasni6eenl bOildiag:
Cunspieqonoly. a the head OF Wall street.
stands Trinity church iIs DARK brown towST
booming glorious y up in the blue vault Of
heaven. IL Is really . stupendous structure,
aud i Unsurpassed in masni6csnce, By any
church on the Western Continent. And its
chime Of bells, are the sweetest melodIs,s that
ever startled the dull ear OF great city -
Whenever hear their merry music, l know
they carry thrill Of JOY TO thousands Of poor,
Jaded hearts, beside mine own. They are as
an angels whisper, vibrating amid the caaseless
tramp and thunder Of a clty carnival. But
Trinity Church with all its architectural beau
ty--its tall Gothic spire-its grateful turrets-
Its stained wiEdows-its monstrOus organ-ils
gergeOusly decorated altar and gilded srchi-
traye, Is nevertheless buta splendid mockeIy
and monopoly! How. sir, in. this -nineteeHth
century-in land whose fabric Of government
Is a Republic-whose national characteristic,
Is simplicity, and whose religion should be
christian equality, secmeth this temple Of ORR
entail spIendof? Are those destitute thou
sands-the cGn0ilIe-permitted to worship at
its altar. Have those dilarilated novels Of
want, and those Aesh-shambles Of debaucherv
in lis contiguous neighborhood, any cOnouits
leading from its evangelical reservoir :, And
are the dark alleys Of the city, and still darker
by-ways in mems hearts, illuminated by yon
Cross OF Episcopal gorgeousness? Resurrec-
tionize those sixty thousand skeletons in Trim
ity Church y ard--shake the dust from their
feet--direct their bewildered optics to that
vast pile, and they will tell it is the sanctuary
of Mammon, where the monopolists of the
earth congregate-where pew rents for thou
easd dollars--where the price OF salvation is
atfiable, and where poor sinners can't come
