.B7One of the most gratifying
features of the temperance revival is
the action of Trinity church, New
York, in voting to lease no more
premises for grog-shops. 1t is indeed,
fearful commentary upon the loose
ness Of Christian morals that this
wealthy corporation has for years
leased quarters to liquor saloons, and
the number of Trinity shops has now
risen to 40 "Mony Of the leases will
expire on May /, and none Of them
will be renewed We should hope
not. The respectable men who lease
premises to rum-sellers are as legiti-
mate subject Of prayer az any
Springfield Republican.
