REAL Toll. vs.. SIlAM PIETY
SoC Nd REASONS WHY WAGE WORK
EEs 10 NOT ATTEND tiIt E,U.

The newest phase of the Labor
problem rs the interest lately awak
encl by the discourscs of somc OF
the popular divines in our large
cities. DIR. Lyman Abbott has re-
Gently made good use of the facts
81 long ago presented by labor re-
formers To arouse the republic to u
serious threatened danger which
mcnaces our entire sociol relations.
Some of our mcre provincial 'livines
have followed IN the steps of DR.. ABB
bott, and to-day it is the rule to find
one or more sermons preached each
Sunday on the nll-impo'tant labor
problems by class of men who not
later than last year were lcnouncing
Wendell Phillips as dcmagoguc.
Like all new beginners these di-
vines are apt to be more rhetorical
than practical when dealing with
the present status of society, and
like other people with special hob
bics they present the churches as a
panacea for present ills and II pre-
vcntive of ills to come. Some Of
these divines tell us that a large body
of wuge-workcrs do not attend di-
vine service, that they have lost the
faith once had in the helping power
of the churches and that some uf them
feel as il they were not wanted tn
mingle and commune with their
more wealthy neighbors. This is
sad state of society, for to say the
least, it is poor church tina; is not
better than none.
One Of our city divines has said,
perhaps the churches are RESPONSE
BILE for this state Of affairs" Per
haps he is right, let us examine:
A wage-worker goes Ia church;
he remembers the historical thun-
lers of a Calvin or a Wesley launch
ed upon the heads of those who OPP
pressed the poor; he remembers the
denunciations hurled againt those
who take usury in rents or money;
ne remembers the vivid word paint
lDgs with which they fore.old the
general Judgment, he remenhers an
utter absence of high-heelel shoes,
diamond-jewelry aud other vulgar
adornments, he has no recollection
of any very rich or very poor devo-
tees, he remembers his mothers
minister as "A plain blunt man, pass
ing rich on twenty pounds year.

and all is changed. Instead of the
PLAN blunt parson he sees Rev. !

pockets in the "swag," and the other
doles out in charity the rightful
wages wrongfully withheld from his
employees. Silks and seal skins
make painful contrast with the hum
BILE garb of his mother, wife or
daughter. The Rev. j. Manhattan
Monitor bows suavely to Mrs. Silk,
shakes the jewellcd fingers of Miss
Sealskin, but he admircs the fresco-
ing when passing Mrs. Alpaca.
Others are there, rich in watered
stock, legal gamblers, whom polite
society call "brokers." Men grown
wealthy by dishonest speculations.
Two men in Jail for playing at cards
for each others money; two brokers
in high standing who make their for
tunes by taxing the wheat of the
farmer before it reaches the mouth
of the consumer.
lie knows there are several young
men and women in Jail for fornica-
ton, but there in front, sitting under
the shadow of the pulpit is the lead
cr of society, the pet of the parve-
nu"s, courted by all, invited by all,
whilst the doors of all are closed to
the unfortunate victim of his lust
who walks the streets wearing ON
her breast the scarlet letter Of her
shame.
The wage worker knows all this,
he knows the men and he knows the
women, he also knows that society
will not punish the man nor elevate
the woman-but perhaps this divine
will preach a sermon that will make
those wealthy sinners vince and re-
pent, perhaps he will tell them in
the words of Christ that the usurcr
is on par with the drunkard and
the fornicator, and neither can hope
to enter heaven dying in such sin;
perhaps he will paint the terrors of
the general judgement. But no,
there is very little said of future pun
ishmcnt, all is forgiveness, the mer-
cy of God is too pleasing and his
justice is So terrible that the sermon
is an allopathic painting of heaven
without even homeopathic allusion
to he'll.
The sermon is but sophomorical
trash, darkly Calculating some unim-
portant event in the travels of Paul

An Ancient Festival Of the Church-Ob-
servauce at ST. Lukes.

An Ancient Festival of the Church-ob-
re at st. Lukes.
The origin OF the term Whitsunday, the
name OF the most ancient festival Of the
Christian church, Sunday excepted, is In
yolved in muchdoubt. By some authorities
it is supposed to take its name from the
white dresses worn by those who were bap-
,izsd on that day, others claim its origin is
due to the diffusion Of light and knowledge
granted the Apostles. A very probable
conjecture as to its name, is that it was
the custom among the ancients to give on
this day to the poor all the milk of their
cattle for the love O. God, and as milk was
then commonly called white meat, this
Sunday was called White Sunday, con-
tracted into Whitsunday.
This festival will be especially observed
at St. Luke's P. Z. Church tomorrow.
The e6ifce will be protusely dressed in
white flowers, and the music will be Of q
superior character. Following are the
programmes:

IL is certainly amusing 10 see with what
s~lacrity Republicans hasten to the de-

ne needs bracing up, 10 judge by the num-
Der OF Republican visitors it required yes
lerdsy TO make him s;eadfast. The sub
stance of the cards appearing in this morn
ing's IntelIigepcer, are bat attempt to
make it appear that Mr.. Stanley does not
| hold o position under the Police aud Fire
Bosrd; now this is absurd, Just as much sc
AZ though / were to tell you
that the b~ookkeeper Of any Of
our business houses held no position un
der the firm By whom be is employed,
The virtnous indignation y maniteated by
both correspondent and editor in. chief IL
indeed surprising, nearly as much SO as
Mr.. Hildreth's memorable ruling upon the
adoption of the rules governing the Police

men made no effort to publish the reasons
Why Mr.. Shsnley's vote was objected to al
that time, | will here insert section Y Of
the city charter:
But no member of any council Of any
city, town or village, heretofore or that may
be hereafter incorporated, shall vote upon
any order, measure, resolution or PROPOSE

That sction demonstrated the honesty Of
purpose generally manifested by said Re
publican members Of Council, aud may
likewise remind Democrats that nominal
log primaries should be carefully attended
