WHO WOULD NOT SERVE THE LORD FOR SUCH A PRICE?
By Editor
The London Examiner states that it has reasons for believing that the Bishop of London has some years received not less than £80,000 ($400,000.) The English should adopt a jackass for their national arms, seeing how they let hypocrites swindle them, all because they are loyal. The lion is certainly malapropos. Only think for a moment of one man receiving four hundred thousand dollars a year to preach the Gospel of Christ in London, where thousands of persons are daily famishing with hunger and want! How that man can lie down at night and sleep in peace, is beyond our comprehension. He must be laying up his treasures on earth, for there is no other place that will hold so much of mammon. But this is one of the keys which unlocks the mysteries of the cause of the immense amount of poverty, suffering and degradation of that "great city." God forbid that the like should ever happen in this country, and yet we have too much reason to believe that it is fast approaching such a point.
