From the discussions in the congress con-gress of tho Episcopal church now in session in Philadelphia, it would Boom that many of the clergy and laity have come to tho conclusion that the most pressing reform needed in tho denomination denom-ination is that of bringing it nearer to the masses and making them more at home in it than they are now. ! Jtev. Dr. Lowis, of this city, oppressed himself as seeing no remedy "except by building churches so large that the scats can be rented for a trillo, or by creating a publio suntimont which shall make it disgraceful for any christian in any way to seek to carry his social privileges into tho houso of God to the detrimont or disparage-mont disparage-mont of the meanest and poorest ol bis christian brethren." Tho same reform is needed in other denominations besides tho Episcopal. The tendancy of the times is to costly church edifices with expensive choirs and high-salaried preachers, calling for heavy pow-rents for their support. Tho result in that poor pcoplo aro crowded out, or put in tho humiliating humilia-ting position of occupying a pauper's cut in tho rear of tho church. Washington lurt
