st. JOhnsbury now has a Reformed
Presbyterian church - making nine
cnurches in that pleasant village.-Er-
ekange.
St. Johnsbury already has nine church
organizations in the village, all of which
nave good church edifices, viz: Two
baptIst' two Congregational, one Meth
odist, one Universalist, one Catholic.
one Episcopal and one Advent The
Presbyterians now propose to orpanize
another, making the tenth. There arc
also four more societies and cbrroh
buildings in other parts of the town. If
must be conceded we think, that fonr-
teen churches in town of 5000 people
rs a large cumbersome think alto
gether too many for either the best
spiritual or material good.
