Poor TRINITY CHURcn-LErrR YROn J0HN
A. Dn-We published yesterday very long
letter from Mr.. John A. Dix, in relation to the
affairs Of Trinity Church, which have been for
some time under the consideration of commit
tee Of the State Senate. 1t appears that the
Church acts as almoner 10 several needy parishes,
and that some complaints have been made % to
the manner in which its income has been dis
bursed. Persons have testified before the Com
mittee that the Church was very rich, and grow
ing richer every year; that its disbursements
were made only to parishes holding the same Pc
culiar views upon church discipline as the ma
jority of the Vesry of Trinity and that generally
the corporation misused the power given to it by
its great possessions Mr.. DIX, who has been
vestryman during the past nine or ten years, con-
tradicts all these statements. He says that the
Church has been growing poorer instead Of
richer-that its expenditures are greatly In ex-
cess Of its revenues, and that it will be obliged
to sell it's real estate to pay its debts. Trinity
Church has, in fact, been 80 generous, 30 liberal,
30 earnestly engaged in converting the heather
Of the lower wards, that it is absolutely according
to Mr. Dix, in danger Of starvation. Mr.. Dix,
however, declines to 60 into the disputed ques-
ton as to whether the Corporation has any good
title to the property which it holds and which is
leased for secular purposes. The great mistake
about the whole matter was mad some time ago.
The grants to Trinity were mad under the
English law, which recognizes the Church as a
power in the State. The Revolution swept away
all ideas of that kind but the grants 10 Trinity
were not positively annulled, and were indeed
partially confirmed by acts of the State Legisla-
ture. 1t must be apparent that religious corpo-
rations like Trinity, which, from their great
wealth, are able to exercise political power in
the State, are foreign both to the letter and
spirit OF the constitutional it is also true
that the impessibility Of purchasing the real
estate held by the Church has retarded improve
ment in the part of the city where it is held,
and absolutely deprecated the value of the
property, when in other hands it would have
been increased thirty or forty per cent We all
know the blighting effect that rich religious cor
porations have had in Catholic countries, and how
often the secular power has been obliged to in
terfere and protect the people from their rapaci
IT, Tit be true that Trinity church, so far from
being crushing, close-fsted corporation, which
is the popular idea, is really generous, liberal
spendthrift, absolutely running itself by its tender
care for the unwashed souls about the docks, rs
Mr.. Dix would have us believe, why should not the
Church sell its property now leased for secular
purposes, clear off debts and devote its ener-
gies entirely to its religious duties leaving mo-
Getti9gto1 sinners, and laying up for itself
