Church Edifices.

The extrayagant adornment of church
edifices with gold, silver and other en-
Refreshments, requiring the expenditure
OF large sums of money, has been
criticised with severity, not only as in
consistent with the principles of true
religion, but as injudicious, in with
drawing the precious metals from cir
culatlon. On this subject It has however
been remarked, that in modern times
the expenditures for church ornamental
ton are much less than they were in
the remote periods of the worlds his
tory. Thus, in the erection of the
tabernacle in the wilderness, it is cal
culated that the gold and silver alone
out of the vast offerings of other arti-
cles were equal in value to Sits, 600
When the tabernacle was dedi-
Gated, SIS, 64S worth of the pre-
clous metal, and cattle worth So, 500
were offered. In dedicating the tenn
pie, Solomon sacrificed 1000 oxen and
100, 600 sheep, estimated to be worth
81, 042, 900. Hezekiah received S57, 100
to carry out his religious reforms The
Passover was celebrated by Josiah at
an expense of S444, 900. The gold and
silver contributed to the second tenn
pie after the return of the Israelites
was weighed by Ezra, and amounted In
value to SS,330,000 The offerings by
David and the princes of Israel for the
building of the first temple, exceeded
any single contribution made by any
nation for any religious purpose, and
exhibits a wealth surprising that of any
modern nation. The amount given was
