Up Town versus Down Town-The Geo

Up Town versus Down Town-The Geo
graphical Tribuiations Of the Laight
Street Bu ptist Church.
There is trouble among the members of the
Laight street BAPTIST Church In this city, growing
out OF the de ire and efforts OF few OF the most
active and wealthy members OF the church, under
the leadership OF Shanghai Pyle, the O. X sOap
man, to sell the church property and unite with the
members and congregation OF the Forty-eccond
street Baptist Church.
Both churchol are considerably In debt and the
uptown churc has no pastor, but has large debt
and confregAll on, willie the down town church has
a small debt and q small pastor, with large family
and salary and a small congregation, and the Pyle,
or uptown party who have recently moved their
residences TO the neighborhood of tine uptown
church, under the leadership Of the worthy brother
Pyle, Who II OF the best aud talest members OF
the church in proportion to bis size, are In favor Of
selling the downtown church and paying the debt
Of the uptown church with the proceeds, and
uniting the Iastor with the large salary and anily
and small congregation with the largely indebted
pastoress uptown congregation. and thus by har'
moniously blending all of these inconRruous ma.
terias, create still larger church and congregation
with small pastor with large salary, family aud
congregation entirely out OF debt very near to iis
own uptown pAlaiial residence. from whence he
could gait with delight upon his NapoeOnic achieve
ment OF RELIGIOUS prCg:uss.
But II seems TINT the downtown members, who
ere hr more numerous thnn the uptown members,
object TO this nice little arrangement, and Eicaly
dislike the notion that their dear niue ehufe',
where they were born, baptized, and raised, should
lie sold and turned into tavern or slaDle Tor lle
purpose OF paying on the debt OF another cohgre"a
tion larger and richer than themselves and thus
lose their property and identity in the uptown con

all she wanted was that he should write to her, and
this he promised to do.
Day after day the young Queen went to the post
Office, but no letter cached her for fortnight. One
came at last containing two dollars, and sarah re-
turned home She was deyotcdly attached to her

In March last her two brothers went to see her,
and found everything packed up for removal They
asked her where = q was rong. and sfe replied, to
