THE RELIGIOUS NEWSPAPER.

To ne Editor Of The n. Y. Tribune
SIR: am and have been for number Of years in
the active duties of the Christian ministry. feel the
worth of sound religious literature a. an invaluable
aid to NY pulpit and pastoral ministra,ions. l have
been anxious that every family in my congregation
should be furnished with religious newspaper. But
among ell the weekly issues which bear the
there is not a single one that I can consistently
recommend. The influence of them all is far
less likely to build up a religious character than
to pull down and destroy. The jealouscs aud
chickering's, the foul-moutted ISLANDERS, the want
Of Christian courtesy and Christian love, the
secaran bitterness, the tendency to exalt denomi-
nation rather than the church. and the church rather
than Cbristiapity-in word, the unfair and unkind
spirit -four d, with hardly an exception, in them all,
makes, as believe, their prevailing influence de-
structve one. The attitude Of Tie ~ y. independent
Erang oiist, O6serrer, Christian IafeHigencer,
Christian OJserrer, The Presbyterian and The Puri
tan Recorder toward each other could not be sustained
By the private members Of church without subject
ing Themselves to church discipline. Not one of these
papers is ordinarily without its ISLANDERS and msrepre
sensations. The first two named now engaged in
a characteristic exhibition of the way in which relg
ious newspapers carry discussion. Each is trying
to prove that the system Of church poty advocated
by the other has declined in New. York during the las,
t. years. and each brings up the figures to prove
its poir with delight which could hardly be exceled
bv foe to all religion. The pious reflections with
which they interspenc and end their articles are not
tie least offensive and revolving part of the whole

falling on the track. II was cny the fact of the train
