Smith spoke of the support of the Christian church and said tha1 under the term Specials" in many churches, various means were resorted to in order to make up the deficiency in church ex penses. There were the church fairs and entertainments, ae banquets and suppers, and in some churches, there was dancing at entertainments. He spoke of the two systems of support ing the church. One was the fee sys- tenn, where every member must pay a stated sum and the other system, which was in use in most of the churches, was the free-wil offering Mr smith said that some of the ways resorted to in raising money for the church, such as he had referred to, in the entertainment line, were not wrong in themselves, but were the second best He quoted the divine command: : 'Upon the first day of the week lay by in store,
 II go to our banquets and our en- tertainments and so countenancc them" said Mir.
