New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-12-26

The portion OF the Presidents message
that recommends the taxing Of church
property calls attention 70 a topic of great
and growing importance. In the colonial
period all the churches and sects were poor
and struggling for footbold. The country
was new. The habits of the people were
simple and their means were limited. The
church ediices were plain, inexpensive, and
in many cases bare and bleak. The religion
of the people was part of their life, and
the idea of building costly and extravagant
edifces or accommodating enormous church
funds and other ecclesiastical property
never entered the minds OF the men
who founded the original commonwealth.
But within half a century the circum-
stances of the country have undergone a
marked change, and in no respect is It more
conspicuous than in religious architecture
and church sggressiveRess. Each OF the
sects seems trying to Guido the others in
