gested or tried with varying success. In Boston
the Episcopalians have built tenement houses. with
chapels connected, 80 that the tenants shall have
religious instruction without going beyond their
own domestic limits. Aud now, here IN

church, as memorial to his deceased wife, OF a

voted more careful attention to the subject
