FAULTS oFTHE poor AND or THE CHURCH.

GET ALONG WITHOUT MLLIoNAIREs


The Rev. DR.. B. F. De Costa. OF the Church Of
poor their faults, their relations the rich and so
eiety's duty toward them. He chose as his text the
words from Exodus, @Neither shalt thou cOuntenance
poor man in his cause lie did not WISH he said
to hatter the poor His efforts, however. TO find a
phrase condemning the poor in the Bible had been In
Nain As regards then sins the Holy Book silent.
That significant as the Bible continually con
demned the rich dangerous class. Fortunately
the poor were Gods poor. The text addressed itself
to people in position in the oden days and cOunselled
them not 10 paint any way the OF the poor. or
make it appear otherwise than it was. That advice
was opportune to-day.
But" said the Doctor the poor have their faults
Although they are not mentioned in Gods Word they
are legion7 But the position OF the poor. he added
was often misreprcsentcd The annual reports Of the
Protestant Episcopal Church misreprsented the CON
diiion Of the poor The Church attempted to do the
WORK Of the State. Unnecessarily II spent thousands
OF dollars The present official relation Of the Church
To the city societies was wrong The policy Of the
Churchs City Missionary Society should be TO
strengthen the weak parishes Of the Church. That
society should be called upon to furnish recOrs for
fe inmates OF the Island Institutions That was a
duty also Of the city. The Church made a mistake
in making provision for the support of people who
should be supported by the state. The Church and
state had been separated at tho founding Of this
country.
The Church going back to that original
condition. This retroCressiOn might be excused did
it not work harm to the weak parishes 1t strengthened
the Island their expense. If there people In
the Protestant Episcopal Church who wished to sup
plement the city in the city institutions they should
do s. by special contributions. They might supply
all OF their food. all Of their clothes II they desired
But protest should be made when the Protestant
Episcopal Church attempted 10 do this IL was a
step toward the union OF Church and State. We
need the Church money for the Church. and not for the
state poor The Church should not paint the poor IN
false rOlOrs. our City Missionary society IS as
aaiquatcd the stage coach in comparison with the
locomotive. It eXcites no enthusiasm.
The rich avoid the humble parishes rs the plague
spots. Mlllcnaiies who will not associate with the
poor Will not persuade them that theirs is the religion
OF Christ. Tine Church was not founded by million
aires. We get along without them.'

A VERBAL POINT WE'LL TAKEN.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: As You have devoted considerable space to
the discussion Of grammatical matters in the last few
months, I am prompted to offer a protest in your
columns against the custom of using the word past
where the word last shoud be used. One hardly
pick up journal anywhere and read a column without
running such misuse Of the word past
We read of the past century," the past year, the
past month"; the past week. " the past few days.
the past season." " Che past campaign" and so
But If you please. it is inquired when one says the
past year. for instance-tO which particular Of
the 5000 past years more or less. is reference
particularly made Of course, inference Is drawn from

I'VE advise our correspondent 10 try again. pre-
pared to make due allowance for the difficulties
involved in seating great number of strangers
in a church the regular members Of which fill
it. and sometimes more than fill it. Doubtless
there have been individual instances when stran-
gers in fashionable churches have been treated
with rather scant courtesy. But in every one
of these churches any stranger may obtain seat
by waiting a few minutes in the aisle until
point in the service when the ushers authorized
TO fill the seats of absentees. Our correspondent
may reply that even this is a hardship; but if
so it is hardship that is inevitable. She
would probably also look upon it hardship
if, in case she were pewhoder in one of these
fashionable churches the ushers were TO fill her
pew with strangers before she arrived. thus
obliging her to stand or 20 to another church.
There are always plenty Of churches, not fashion
able, where pure Gospel is preached, and in
which strangers can have their pick of the best
pews. But strangely enough, that fact is never
mentioned to the credit of Christianity, while
the alleged discourtesy Of fashionable churches is
always mentioned 10 its discredit.-EdJ
