EFFECT OF THE BROOKLYN suAN-
DAL UPON CHRISTIANITY.
70 tic Editor NJ The 6hieaao TRIBUNE:
Srn lit M editorial III ono Of Lilo city papora
OF Sunday lnat tho writer refers to the probable
effect upon tho Christian Church Of tho lately
widespread and deplorable Brooklyn scandal,
and makes uso Of tho following language "It
ID Impossible for tue Church to experience such
d scandal aud movo on without my trouble; It
Is quito probable that. not trouble alone, but
sorious dlaaster, may follow and it Ia not ut all
impossible that It will provo tue first Of aericsof
revelations that will send tho Church to early
destruction and complete annil,ilatiop." And
again: "To all intonts and purposes, so far
as tho present arguments ia concerned, the Church
Ia iiko political party. The powor Of
II party haB frequently boon destroyed through
the bad acts Of fow OF Its representatives.
Why may not tho Church DO destroyed In tue
sarns way7 4 party TINT produces
traitora md thieves il ruined. What Bhatl s,lB-
tain n Church that produces lnrB and fornica-
tora?"
Tho writer says much more tint Is not to my
