OUR CHURCHES.
There are no institutions worth
Ter of the appreciation and love of
the community than the churches
existing in their midst, identified
with its earliest growth, throb-
bling with its life, participating
in its reverses and sharing in its
prosperity. They seem to be in
vested with a personality, to be
loved and cherished like one of our
household. There has never in the
history of nations been an influ-
ence of such greatness as that
welded by the hand of the church,
and those noble old traits one sees
in manhood may be attributed to
the good influence that our church
es and their divines spread among
us. San AntOni has been partic-
ularly blessed; its divines are men
of talent, Christian zeal and elO-
quence.
