OUR CHURCHES

"HE churches of a community are
 the bulwarks of its progress and enlightenment even more than Its schools. for commercial and mental ad- vancement need the pillars of moral con- cention and responsibility to make them substantial and lasting. What can society accomplish with the labor of mans mind and body without the influence ot ms moral nature to define his relations and duties to his fellow-man? How futile would be the efforts of legislators, courts and magistrates to make and enforce laws for the common good without that moral nublic sentiment for which the churches of our land are recognized to be respon- s;hle. Even the man upon the outside annreciates their benefcent influence and few there are looking for new homes who would not consider the church snires of each city as sponsors ot truth and justice. They make happier homes and more contented people, and New port finds a laudable pride in the num- her If her churches. Five Protestant de- nominations and the Catholic church are renresented. and Jewish congregation hold regular services hoping at no lar distant date to erect a temple tor their people.

HIS work has won him the devotion ot his people.
 Episcopal Church. St. Pauls Epis- copal Church was organized in Jackson hort and an edi6ce built there III 1873, Rev. ID. B.
