MONEY FOR THE CHURCHES.
" THREEPENNY BEER / WEEK." That a "sacrifice of a threepenny beer a wreck" by each member of the Protestant. faith would guarantee the financial stability of the various churches, was pointed JOt by the Rev. W. P. Stewart in a sermon in St. Stephen's Presbyterian Church at Bathurst recently. He asked how many members of the Presbyterian Church were that night too indifferent to attend their own church or had drifted into churches of other religions? There were many, he said, who were bitterly opposed' to churches hot of the Protestant faith, but what had they done towards the progress of the support of Protestantism or the Protestant churches? If every Protestant in Bathurst was to contribute 10s a year towards the maintenance of his church, it would mean an average of £2000 for every Protestant church. This would mean the sacrifice of the equivalent of a threepenny beer a week— few were apparently willing to make the sacrifice.
