The Firginian assumes that the Episcopal
Church in Virginia and in the United States
is In need of some reformation. No church nor
any other human institution is perfect. 1t IS
diffcult however, to understand what Rev Da-
WILSON, of Charlottesville hopes TO accomplish
by sensational actions, what Rev. Richmond,
of Philadelphia, hopes to accomplish by sensa-
tional sermons, whose very violence and evil
dent luminosity toward certain prelates and lay
men defeat their purpose, II they have any other
purpose than to gain for the preacher passing
notoriety.

pulp called pomace. and contains be-

no dirt because WE WASH EVERY
