The Hight of the Steeple the true glory of the Church !

In the Senate chamber of the Empire State an honorable senator, when discussing the affairs of Trinity Church, gave utterance to the following sentiment. The language is preserved as nearly as we can remember. The sentiment was emphasized and enforced with great earnestness: "Trinity Church deserves the gratitude and admiration of every true Protestant in the country, for the honor she confers upon his religion, in the erection and perservation of that lofty monumental pile, which so eminently out-vies any other structure of a similar character in the land. A distinguished magnate of the Catholic Church, proposes to build a Cathedral, with two towers, each more than one hundred feet higher than the spire of Trinity. Till that, let every true Protestant that has one spark of pious ambition glowing in his bosom, remember Old Trinity with affection and pride." See Rom. iii, 27, Jer. ix, 23-24, and 1 Cor. 1, 27-31. Enough said.
