morning-and no prayer meetings. There Is no one
to take charge OF tho poor aud the general manage
ment oil the church not good. The pastor
81, 500 per year literally doing nothing. Hc re-,
sides Jersey from Monday until Saturday, visiting
his congregation only once week, which is hardly
the whole duty OF pastor. Ono OF the trustees re-
sides tho city, aud makes his appearance Twice
year Tho music II such 1t could oe called, Is dis
graceful II Is nothing moro nor less than boy,
about sixteen seventeen years Of age practising on
the organ singing there Is none The condition OF
the building is shameful 1t has been built about
eight years and has never been repanted. The win-
dows would be u disgrace 10 squattcrs hut, not alone
a church. The burying ground rs In a shameful con-
diton. The tombsiones all broken, and the place
is dcsecra,ed by the children making playground Of
it, women hanging their clothes to dry ana goats
grazing upon 1t. have no doubt that II the Collegiate
Church would take this matter In hand they could
