Starrucca and a first cousin of Dr.,

valued contributors-spoks in sucn
glowing terms of the institutional
church" that reporter. who was press
aut, was induced to seek for explana-
tory light in q subsequent interview.
He was then, as we learn from his ver-
sion Of the talk, printed in the Dispatch,
told that the Institutional church is a
species Of mission church, established
outside of denominauouSl divisions,
teaching only the cardinal points Of
Christianity, and reaching out for the
great mass Of busy toilers in our large
.ities who are not drawn into a relig
ious life by tho wsalthier and more ex-
elusive sectariau churches in more
fashionable districts

greatest institutional church in the
United States is d. Rainsford's 5.

meuse broken down church, with no

turned it into an institutional church,

reclamation, not only spiritually and

That they have a great misso on to

Ii is timely, at the very beginning OF
spring, to direct attention anew to tho
need of very general aud thorough
cleansing Of the city as soon az possible
after the disappearance Of snow. Dur
ing the period when the soil has been
locked together in compact mass by
frost and ice, and when the snow mas
formed a porous coating that absorbs
all kinds Of dirt and filth. there has
been accumulating dangerous quaint

From this neglect we inherit a great
percentage of the fevers and contag

dispeusable requisite to health.

to spread deadly exhalations, throughout
