Oveut we to Fan ry Caurce ?—The New York Churchman must have been at a loss ih fault finding when it seriously entered upon a crusade against the use of fans in churches, denouneing the usage as in itself irreverent and in contravention of Christian principles— “an act of irreverence, not to say im- piety.” We devoutly pity the good geutle- man who owns such 4 conscience; uniess he happens to be as cold as marble and bard as stone, which he surely must be to hold such doctrines in this climate in the melting, seorch- ing, burning months ot July and Augpst. The editor rests his position on the fact that the professors of Christianity should crucify the flesh and practice self-denial, and ther¢- fore should ‘not fan themselves during the hours of divine worship.
