FEEING HIS WAY TO HEAVEN.
Referring to the disclosures made by the accounts in the bankrupt estate of a ; . Manchester firm, the chairman of a ' meeting of its creditors said" Since the. Collie fraud of 1875 no commercial failure has occurred so disastrous to thecredit and pockets of Manchester men as. this of Heugh, Balflour, and Co, I will, not eiiter at any length upon these accounts, as any information will be given , to you by tho accountants; but there is-' one item in the separate estate of John Heugh which I cannot look over—it .is-' the sum of £32,917 sa. 4d. for the expenses of the orphanage and charities,. (Laughter.) This muni6cent charity of an ~ insolvent estate appears to meVghastly in the light of these revelations. .(Hear, liter.) It reminds me of a remark of our bishop that there are some men amongst us who build churches out of their ungodly gains to fee their way to heaven, (Laughter.)
