Generous Men Underpay Employees.

churches in London 1 have ever known,
who thought nothing of giving s2,O0 to a
building scheme for a new school room,

Intrusion of secularity into the atmosphere
Of the day of rest and an introduction OF
politics into the pulpit. This must remain
so long as our churches are financed by
social and economic law-breakers.'
