Twas publicly stated in at least two Of our
,rfocipal churches on Sunday that clergyman
of a prominent city church, ministcrine to one
of our wealthy Episcopal cong1 cgations, died
last week in want OF the vcry nccessarics of life
snch statement deliberately made, and doubt
}ess with a full kn ow]edee OF tho facts Of the
case, suggests some very painful reflections,
and calls sternly for comment on the part OF
+be nress Toronto boasts itself, aud not with
mt justification, as the City OF Churches. Visit
ors from the old country are taken round, with
nardonabe pride, to view the handsome aud
luxurious ecclesiastical edifces. The stranger
is btlden to notice the streets on SUNDAYS
throuced by serious~louking and well-lressed
neople wendinr their way amidst the chimins
OF bells to their respective places Of worship;
and his attention is called to the Sabbath still
ness Of the deserted thoroughfares during the
hours of service There is no city in
the Dominion, We tell him, even if there
he one in Great Britain or on the planet,
where the Lords Day Is SO strictly observed as
here. s.Obserye my 15icnd," we say to him,
.4hox admirably the voluntary system works in
this great couptry-freer than your own. Look
st this city of ours, with a church for every 600
inhabitants, with its Roman Catholic, Anglican,
Wesleyan, and Presbyterian Cathedrals, for they
deserve the name Here we have no arrogant
State Church,-all denominations arc free to
emulate one another in Christian riyaly; and
behold the result! We have body Of clergy
