Wealth OF Trinity Church, New York.
The Rev. VIM. Berrian has published pam
phlet with view of dissabusing the public
mind of erroneous views Of the great wealth
of Trinity Church, in New York. The Phia-
delphia Inquirer thus sums up his statement
According to the statement prepared by the
rector, with the fullest opportunity of informa-
ton, the gross revenue of the corporation up
TO that time, from ground rents, pew rents, and
every other source, had never at any one time
reached higher point than $57, 1892. After
deducting the interest on the debt of about
$4,000, the nett income in l847 was only
$685. But continues Mr.. Berrian, in order
to present the whole subject with frankness
and candor, and to leave no room for suspicion
IN honorable minds of evasion or doubt, it is
proper to state that from great changes in the
general value of property within the last few
years the income of Trinity Church has been
materially increased. But what is it, with this
somewhat sudden and unexpected advantage
at the present time? The gross amount of it
from ground rents, pew rents, and every other
source was, on the lst of May last, $89,486.
After deducting, then, the interest on its pres
ent debt of $648,9l3, (which was mainly in.
Cured by her benefactions to others,) amount
ing to $34,7Sl, the nett income of Trinity
Church is precisely neither more nor less than
$54,7O5. This he does not regard as particu-
larly enormous for great corporation, with
large landed property, in a great and flourish
ing city. He affirms, moreover, that from the
time the church reached the point where her
income exceeded her reasonable wants she has
in due proportion dispersed them, with free
dom and lberality which have made her
wealth great blessing He then proceeds to
illustrate, and states many facts in corrobora-
ton. Trinity has given again and again to
other churches, has assisted aged and decayed
clergymen, and distributed its means in the
most benevolent and generous spirit.
In another passage he estimates the amount
of the gifts, loans and grants of Trinity at ST.
5OO,OOO-an amount he says, more than equal
to two-thrds of the value of the estate, except
ing the church edi6ce and burial grounds,
which now actually remains
