Dr. Ewer, rector, SABBATH, AND CHURCH ACCOMMO- DATION. STATISTICS OF RELIGION AND RUM-——HOW SHALL THE PEOPLE BE WATCHED OVER AND REACHED WHEN THE PASTORS ARE AWAY ? A few years ago tho closing of the churches in this city during the months of July and August was anevent almost as certain as the heat of summer, But an outcry was made against the cussom by the press, secular and religious, and Ly such of the pastors as were compelled, by ttress of circumstances, to remain enclosed be- hind brick walls or granite churches, The dis- cussion that followed im ministerial circles, here and cleewhere, happily produced a change for the betier, cmd both pastors and people began to jook atthe matter im a business light. Churches en- gage ministers to serve them for a specified time, irom s1X months to a Iife term, amd they naturally reasoned that they were entitled to the ser- vices of such men ior tuat term, how- ever long or short, If, however, they allowed their ministers vaca‘ions in the summer, or If the minister took @ vacation himself, that was to pe the subject of distinct stipulation, It has grown {nto @ custom witnin & jew years past that pastors provide in all tneir charges Jor @ vacation of twoor three months. In some instances the Church not only grants such respite but supplies the necessary means to make it pleasant and en- joyable to the minister, besides Alling nis pulpit in Rissosence. But in perhaps the majority of tn- Btances tho pastors themselves provide suosti- tutes, Now, if all the pastors in this city were to take Vacations in the summer, and hie away to mountain side or ocean shore, it mignt be diMcult to supply their places. ut as less than 100 out of the 500 or 600 ministers Of this city ever get away for a month ata time, this difficulty, of courre, is greatly iesseved. There are in New York 470 places of wor- Bhip of every sort and name, 380 of which are Protestant, The Episcopalians lead the list with 9), the Metuodists, white and colored, follow alter with 60, the Presbyterians, of the different schools and tities, number 54 and the Catholics reach the same figures, lacking ono. The Baptists have 33 churches apd chapels and the Jews have 25 synagogues or halls in whicn thoy worship and the Reformed (Dutch) have 22. The Lutherans have 21 and there is a miscellane- ous list comprising Universalists, Unitarians, Con- sregatiooalists, Spiritualists and others of more cr tess religious character, together with tae mis- sions, Which nuraver about 7s more, Now, these 470 churches, chapels and nails accommorate abvut 350,00 people: oul OC This small proportion of the CHY'S POpUlatiun it is periaps sale TO KSsUME thAL HOl Mure thaw 196,00y are ever found In cllureh om Any givem Sabvatn, ludeed, (ne average memoer- Pulp ix placed wo 00 each, Which Woul. give only all ruined out.
