THE reverend and radical o. B. Frothing-
ham took occasion last Sunday to assai Sec
talianism from novel standpoint. He con-
demned it because it is so costly thing, be-
cause it is waste of the time, energy, mind
and money that could pe devoted to the
building up of one great church. He looked
upon Professionalism as mass OF hostiie
camps covering every foot OF the ground OF
Christendom not occupied by the Roman
church RELIGION under the Roman church
is not expensive. Its grand cathedrals are
fine work of years, and cost nothing now.
Rut each Protestant church, with its hand
full ofmembers, must support all the expense
that is borne easily by one great church with
its many members. In New York city there
are score of denominations, each repre-
scented by a score OF churches, and each
church putting its hand into every pocket it
can reach to get money to ray its debts.
No sooner did the Indiana editors leave
Washington, than the New York editoria
excursion swooped down on that wicked city
and, coming fast upon the New Workers, the
Illinois editors put in an appearance. 1t is
safe to say that the national capital will be
written up more extensively this summer
than it was ever written up before, even by
the pens of special correspondents. By the
way if the city is really so wicked, and if its
distraction a la Sodom, is required by the de-
mands of justice, it would be an excellent
idea for the owners of real estate to have the
preliminary inspection made during the visit
of the journalists, because the presence of sc
many righteous men would Individually save
the city. The only drawback is that perhaps
there is not a real bona Jfde editor among the
excursionists, editorial excursions being quite
noticeable for the absence of editors
