A Slur on the Churches.
NO POOR NEED APPLY. i The Rev. Dr. Henry Frank, who has beeu making a tour of the ultrafashionable churches in the richest quarters of New York, disguised as a man in a humble station in life, has now committed his experiences to print. “ I have discovered by personal experience (he writes), and now I positively know, that the ordinary respectable but poor man will meet with little less than incivility in our churches of fashion and wealth. Nay, I must go further and say if he dares to put his foot into one of these sacred palaces he is likely to subject himself to insult and mayhap abuse. I felt confident that Jesus Christ, unknown, alone, and poor, yet decently clothed, could not secure a comfortable seat in either Dr Coe’s Fifth Avenue Collegiate Church, or the Rev. Dr Evans' West Presbyterian Church, or the Broadway Tabernacle.”
