CITY CHURCHES.

[To THE EDITOR OF TEE "SracriTore'l SIR,—I have read with interest your review of Mr. Clarke's, " City Churches" in the Spectator of September 10th. Could not the problem be solved by attaching a City church to each of the suburban churches of London? The rector of the suburban church would then receive the income from both. church es minus (say) £300 to support two curates, one of whom. would help him in the suburbs, while the other would holdr services in the City church. This would give relief to some suburban churches without destroying the dignity of the old.

church in the City.—I am, Sir, &c., H. K. T.
