sinners. and those who strive TO
regain this old world from the
curse.
Among these latter, no one Is
better equipped for the ancient
fight than the rector of Saint Mat
tew iD.the PARK, the Rev. LeUuel
Springer. With body and mind
attuned to a fine healthtulDess, at
thirty, he believes strungly, and
breaches and acts his belief, and
