ocrging Tho pulpit, if they undertook tc
perform their clerical duties without
their peculiar priestly garb; and the
minister Of the present day, attired in

strangely iffor nothing else, from tho fact
that he was gazod upon BY everybody as Q
specimen Of excentricity. A certain de-
gree ofprido in dress, and in our church

that we do mot allow our pride to dsgeH-

But leaving all fine spun theories ont

truth is, we need a commodious and tas-

Now the question is, shall we haveit?
We could urge many substantial reasons
why every business man in the noighbor-
hood should feel interest enough in this
matter to open his heart, which is the
door to his purse. and use his influence
and his means in this worthy Object
There IS means enough in the possession
Of this commGpity to accomplish this OBJ
jecs, and if the christian friends Of this
denomination not exert themselyer to
obtain the means and erect the church,
speaking after the manner Of men, they
do not deserve the benefits Of the clergy
Go to work vigorously, and you can pro-
cure the needed means; and let it no
longer be said that Washington is with
out church Of sufficient capacity to ac-
commodate comfortably, all who desire
to attend. Nothing gives character and
ton village or community

lect, and state Of society, and as like be-
gets like, wherever these exist, they at
