A SERMON.
Dr. Burgess, bishop of this. the Quincy
diocese, in a recent convention address,
speaking of the scale of ordinary Christian
giving, said:
aSilks rustic around an altar bare OF
covering. Diamonds scratch galvanized
or plated chalice Feet turn away from
the priceless gift at the holy table, and
there is no thought that $40. $40 or 500
are not handsome subscription for the
church of the living God. The income OF
porter, of newer of wood. of unskilled
and nneducated hands, sometimes equals
that which a parish, not deficient IN wealth,
affirms to be all 1t can afford II. the gospel
worker. God forbid that woridliness, uni
versally prevalent. violence regnant, vice
devouring all good soil, dissoluteness, wide
reaching dishonesties, defaults in sums
greater, If that can be, than have been
reached, freezing infidelity, triumphant
Anti-christ, be not needed to convince the
laity that they have failed in duty.
