Mr.. BoGGs AND HIS AssAILANrs.

Because Rev. Mr.. Boggs stated in a
sermon last Sabbath that the Odd Eel
lows, by one act had done more for
Leath Orphan Asylum than the churches
combined had done in tw~enty-four years,
referring to dollars and cents, he is Bit
terly assailed by some anonymous cor
respondent in a morning paper. The
statement was no reflection on the
churches, although a compliment to the
noble order Of Odd Fellows. The asy-
lum is under the auspices of different
churches, but maintained by contribu-
lions from various sources. 1t has never
been endowed, and but for the efforts of
a few worthy ladies, # would have gone
down long ago. Each church has its
wi poor to look after, its minister to pay
aud other expenses to meet from time to
time, Their contributions to the Leath
Orphan Asylum, consequently, have
never been very large. The Odd Fellows
stepped in and donated a large sum Of.
money from long accumulated funds, so
as to place the institution on a perma.
nent basis. 1t was this fact to which
Mr.. Bcggs alluded, and Of all the large
congregation which filed the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church that day, we
doubt whether a single person thought
his remarks capable of a false construe-
ton. The report may have been imper-
feet, but the sermon was spoken of by
his hearers as an able and wsll-tempered
address on the subject of Christian be-
nevolenoa
