Journal of the ... annual convention, Diocese of Long Island

This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

Usage guidelines

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.

We also ask that you:

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.

+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.

+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

About Google Book Search

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and to make it universally accessible and useful. Google Book Search helps readers
discover the world's books while helping authors and publishers reach new audiences. You can search through the full text of this book on the web

Mr. Orr further stated that the yearly assessment of two per
cent, of the stipend paid to Rectors of parishes, or Ministers of

and a half per cent., and he offered the following resolution:

Bishop's Salary Fund shall be equal to one and one-half per centum of the
stipends paid to the Rectors of parishes or Ministers of congregations in
the Diocese.

This was carried.

AMERICAN CHURCH BUILDING FUND COMMISSION.

Brooklyn, May 10, 1906.

The Diocesan Commissioners again ask the clergy and laity of Long
Island to increase their. efforts for the Ftmd, that our Diocese may com-
plete its quota. Last year one parish completed its proportion, and twenty-
seven parishes contributed to the Fund.

Attention is invited to the founding of memorial, named, funds. This
Diocese has founded three of $5,000 each.

The Fimd now amotmts to $423,519.51.

1. This Fund is permanent, and will continue doing its work.

2. The object is necessary to Church extension, and to the establish-
ment of religious influences in sparsely settled portions of the land.

3. The plan is no experiment In England the Church Building
Society has done splendid work. And our own Commission can show a
record of twenty-one years of faithful and efficient service.

4. The business affairs of the Commission are managed by ex-
perienced business men, elected by the Commission at large, and having
the confidence of the entire community.

78 Diocese of Long Island.

The First Day.

The Rev. Dr. Alsop reported for the Committee on Canons
concerning the changes in the Canons which were suggested at
the last Convention. He moved the re-committment of this
subject to be Committee for further report on the second day.
This motion was carried.

Mr. Wilhelmus Mynderse reported for the Committee on
Missionary Operations in the Diocese as follows:

Your Committee would recommend as an additional Section to Canon
9, viz. :

Section X. — [i.] The Bishop may nominate to the Northern Arch-
deaconry of the Borough of Brooklyn and to the Southern Archdeaconry
of the Borough of Brooklyn, a clergyman to fill the office of Archdeacon
6f Brooklyn, who, upon being approved and accepted by both Archdea-
conries, shall take the oversight of the missionary work in the said Arch-
deaconries, with the exception of the Cathedral and Parochial Chapels,
and generally perform in said Archdeaconries the duties assigned by
Section VI of this Canon to an Archdeacon.

[2.] He shall hold office for two years, and thereafter in terms of
two years upon nomination by the Bishop and approval and acceptance by
the two Archdeaconries.

[3.] During the incumbency of such Archdeacon of Brooklyn the two
Archdeaconries shall meet together, and the work therein and the funds
therefor may be consolidated and administered as though the two Arch-
deaconries constituted a single Archdeaconry. At such meetings the
Archdeacon of Brooklyn shall, if he be present, preside, and in his absence
the Archdeacon of the Archdeaconry within the limits of which the meet-
ing is held shall preside.

[4.] The two Archdeaconries may adopt by-laws for their govern-
ment in matters of joint interest.

Upon motion, this report was referred to the Committee on
Canons.

The Rev. Henry T. Scudder reported for the Trustees of the
Clerg>'men's Pension and Retirement Fund:

The Trustees of the Pension Fund beg leave to report that their work
during the first year has been to organize and endeavor to start a senti-
ment throughout the Diocese favorable to the accumulation of the nucleus
of a fund. To that end the Trustees have endeavored by personal inter-
view to beget an interest in the need for active work in this behalf. They
have also had distributed to all the clergy in care of parishes, and to many
of the leading laymen, a reminder of this important work for the ameliora-
tion of the condition of the aged clergy, by providing them with a suitable
pension. They trust the seed thus sown will produce a good effect, and

The First Day,

at another year it will be possible to report a goodly number of col-
ctions taken up in different parishes, as well as individual donations
I the part of those interested in this good work. As it has come to our
>tice that we may from time to time receive bequests to swell the prin-
pal of our ftmd, the Trustees have asked permission of your body to be
icorporatcd, so that they legally can collect any such sums as may be
^ueathed them. We beg leave to state in conclusion that already, by a
>lIection taken up a few weeks since in St. Peter's Church, Brooklyn,
mounting to $100.00, and by donations, we have a nest egg for the fund,
hich we hope will soon be increased by many generous gifts. A large
ospital for children in a neighboring city came from thirty cents being
3und in the little worn pocketbook of a sweet child who had left this
rorld. Can we not hope that much will come from the $145.00 with
?hich we have begun our fund for pensioning our aged and deserving
Icrgy in this Diocese?

Respectfully submitted on behalf of Trustees of the Clergymen's
Pension Retirement Fund.

Henry T. Scudder, Chairman.

May IS, 1906.

The Rev. Mr. Scudder then offered the following resolution:

Be it Resolved, That the Trustees of the Clergymen's Pension and
Retirement Fund be, and hereby are, directed to be incorporated.

This was carried. The Rev. Mr. Scudder then offered an
Tiendment that line second of Section 3, Canon 1 1, be amended to
-2d as follows:

"Treasurer of the Fund" instead of "Treasurer of the Convention."

This was referred to the Committee on Canons.

Mr. Wilhelmus Mynderse offered the following amendment
Canon 10, providing for the widows and children of deceased

^rgymen :

That Canon 10 be amended by striking therefrom Section II., and old
Sections III. and IV. to be entitled [2] and [3], so as to read:
Section II. — [i.] Two clerical and three lay Trustees shall be an-

^^\\y appointed by the Convention, who, with the Bishop, shall constitute
Board to be called The Trustees of the Fund for the Families of

'^^eased Clergymen, whose duty it shall be to receive applications for

-^ief, and to apply said fund according to such rules and principles as the

^id Trustees shall adopt, to be submitted to the Convention for its

^^ision and approval.

(2.] It is hereby declared to be the duty of every congregation in

'^c Diocese to make an annual collection, to be paid to the Trustees of

8o Diocese of Long Island.

The First Day.

said fund, who shall hold and apply the same to the relief of the families
of deceased clergymen of this Diocese. It is recommended that such col-
lection be made on the annual Thanksgiving Day, or the Sunday next
before or next following.

[3.] Vacancies occurring in the number of the Trustees dtu-ing the
recess of the Convention may be filled by the remaining Trustees.

[4.] All contributions or donations for this object shall be transmitted
to the Treasurer of the Fund, and funds not needed for current use shall
be invested and held in trust by the Trustees.

This was referred to the Committee on Canons.

The Bishop then read his annual address.*

Upon motion of Dr. Hopkins, duly seconded, it was resolved
to make Diocesan Missions the order of the second day at 11
A. M., and that each Archdeacon be given ten minutes in which to
make a report.

At 4.20 P. M., upon motion of the Secretary, the Convention
adjourned until the following morning at 10 o'clock.

Last year the Rev. R. M. Edwards reported the organizing of a
Mission at East Hauppauge, and now is able to announce that a structure,

member of this small community is interested and has done something
toward the success of the work.

ibution to enable them to possess a church worthy of the work, and

Will not some reader of the above help to furnish a good horse for
lis extensive missionary field?

Mattituck — The Rev. W. A. Wasson notes an increased attendance at
ervices, and the promise of support from summer people.

Yaphank — Which has been for many years under the care of a lay-
eader, will with the first of June be in charge of a priest, who will care
or it in conjunction with Centre Moriches.

Quite a number of the people have moved away from Yaphank, and
vith a priest caring for the large district between it and Centre Moriches,
we believe the work will be strengthened by its extension.

Centre Moriches — Cared for by Rev. H. W. R. Stafford for six years,
with marked faithfulness, has been joined with Yaphank, as a better
arrangement for both places— each having suffered much by removals.

The Rev. F. C. H. Wendel will begin this work June 1st.

Bellport — Rev. Irving McElroy — Has within the past year come into
issociation with the Archdeaconry as a mission of that body. Here, as
elsewhere, removals have made marked inroads upon the possible sup-
>orters, though reports show faithful work and an extensive field.

Brookhaven — ^Rev. Irving McElroy in charge, shows an interest in the
Church that has not been known for some time, and promises well for the
coming summer.

Port Jeiferson — Vacant at this time, by reason of the death of Rev.
^ K Fenton, who for four years ministered with love and affection to
^bis congregation, and left upon all who knew him the certainty of his
religious and spiritual life.

Amagansett (Summer Chapel) — ^Under the faithful and earnest efforts
^^ Rev. E. C. Chorley and H. St. Clair Hathaway during last July and
August, made possible the clearing of the mortgage upon the site pur-
^ased by the Archdeaconry. The attendance was markedly increased
^^cr that of the preceding summer, and an afternoon service upon the
"^ch drew many that did not ordinarily attend.

The friends of this work have pledged $400.00 toward the erection of
* church, and invite contributions through the Archdeacon.

Setauket — Rev. D. Marvin, Rector — ^This Parish, with its 177 years of
testimony to the Church's service, seems at times to find new hope and
SHpport in the opening up of the one industry known for years, 1. e., the
Rubber Works; and, about the time this gets fairly under way, the

work ceases, and the new comers seek other fields of labor. However,
despite this disappointment, the faithful membership keep up their interest
and await better times.

Easthampton. — ^Rev. O. F. R. Treder has within the past year wrought
a good work, and made a marked impression upon the community of the
value of the Church and her services. Congregations numbering one hun-
dred or more have welcomed visiting clergy, and the union chapel
services at Freetown have likewise shown a marked increase, filling the
building, and often having hearers without, listening to the service.

To speak of this field without mentioning the work of Mrs. M. S.
Gustine among the people of Freetown would rob it of much of its interest
and picturesqueness — for she lives among these people the year round and
ministers as an elder sister and friend always. Contributions of plain
material for garments suitable for winter and summer can always be found
useful by Mrs. Gustine in her work. She will gladly answer any letters
of inquiry addressed to her at Easthampton P. O.

We would remind the reader that services are continued during the
summer at Quogue, Westhampton, Southampton, and an occasional service
at Silver Brook. With the larger part of Suffolk County ministered by
missions and summer chapels, we ask you to realize the nearness of
missions at home and lend them your generous support. We would
acknowledge the generous support granted us by St. Andrew's Dune
Church, Southampton, and Church of the Atonement, Quogue.

OF THE ARCHDEACONRY OF QUEENS AND NASSAU.

The Rev. Canon Bryan reported for the Archdeaconry of
Queens and Nassau:

I report on some aspects, parts and progress of the Archdeaconry's
work. The Rev. Edward Nicholas Hollings entered on his duties as
general Missionary among the colored people of Queens and Nassau
Counties, on March i, 1906. By his quiet dignity, his devotion to duty
and tactful work, he has already strengthened and built up the three
congregations under his charge at Smithville, South Jamaica, and Hemp-
stead. The Executive Committee has very wisely arranged to make
necessary repairs and improvements to his residence in Jamaica, the cost
of which will not exceed $175, of which $25 will be paid by the people
of the Missions under the care of the Rev. Mr. Hollings. A very laud-
able and commendable contribution from them. I am also happy to report
that the new Church for our Mission at Roosevelt is now completed at
the contract price of $2,500, and will be formally dedicated by the Bishop
of the Diocese on the evening of June 17th, at which time a class for
Confirmation will be presented. I can assure you that we have here the
best and most finished building of any of the Mission Churches we have
erected. This result is due to the conscientious work done by the con-
tractors and the careful supervision given it by our faithful treasurer, Mr.
P. R. Jennings, assisted by the local building committee. The contract for
a very pretty and attractive Church in the mission or Mexican style of
architecture, to be erected at Belle Harbor, has been signed. Wc arc
promised the completed building by August ist. The contract price is

^,000, of which $4,000 has been obtained by a mortgage placed on the
property. When completed this church will be one of the most attractive
and remarkable churches on this Island. For this happy result we are
indebted not only to the local committee, but especially so to our learned
counsellor, Mr. Daniel Whitford, who has given very kindly of his time
and effort for arranging various details that have led up to this advance
in the work at this point. Plans have also been drawn for the new church
to be erected for St. Mark's Mission, Steinway. After several suggested
alterations have been made, bids will be called for, the contract awarded
and duly signed. The present healthy condition of the work at this
point is most commendable, and to you I commend the earnest, thorough
and altogether unselfish work of the deacon in charge, the Rev. Benja-
min Mottram. The Sunday School has reached the high water mark of
150 children. Another sign of progress is to be seen in the improved
condition, spiritual and financial, of the Mission of St. Michael and All
Angels, Seaford. On December i, 1905, the resignation of the Rev. W. B.
Hooper, as priest in charge, took effect. On January ist, last, at my
request, with the advice of the Executive Committee, the consent of the
Bishop of the Diocese having been given, the charge o£ this Mission was
put in the priestly care of the Rev. F. M. Townley, rector of the neighbor-
ing parish of The Redeemer, Merrick. Last January the Archdeaconry,
per its treasurer, advanced this Mission $100 to be applied toward the
$234 due the Rev. Mr. Hooper for stipend. At Easter they were able to
return this loan, at the same time requesting that we release them from
any other claims we might have against them. In consideration of their
efforts to repay this loan, and of the renewed life and interest on the part
of the congregation the Executive Committee think it wise to recommend
that wc accede to their request. I record here my appreciation of the
unselfish, conscientious and imtiring work given to this work by the
Rev. Mr. Townley and Mr. P. R. Jennings, in the revival of the life of
the Mission and the carrying forward of the work. Never before has
the work here seemed so "worth while" as at the present moment.

"Last but not least" in the things accomplished is the success of the
priest and people of St. Matthew's Mission, Brooklyn Manor, in raising
at Easter, its fund for paying off its mortgage of $2,200, in memory of
its faithful layman, the late Mr. Charles R. Kay. On Easter Day they
placed upon the Altar, in pledges and cash the full amount of the mort-
gage. This is the first of our Missions to liquidate its entire indebtedness,
and in this instance it has been accomplished within ten months. I record
here my appreciation of the noble response made to the appeal of the
Rev. Dr. Bunn and the Archdeacon at our last Archdeaconry meeting. It
cheered our hearts to have one after another arise in their places to state
the sums they would give toward this noble object. Even from the faith-
ful few in St. Mary's Chapel, Laurel Hill, through its faithful represen-

tative, Mr. Edward H. Inglis, came a donation just at a time it was most
needed to cheer aand encourage those in the Mission to persevere and
raise the entire amount. We thank you, one and all, friends! To Dr.
Bunn, his Building Committee, and the Women of the Mission, I think
I voice the sentiments of the entire body, clerical and lay, of the Arch-
deaconry, when I assure them that by their unselfish and self-denying
labor they have set a noble example for all to follow. To them we can
truthfully say: "Well done." From this instance of success in debt-
paying there comes the inspiration to us never to be weary or discouraged
in well doing. We are bound to succeed and win out in the end !

The progress of Christ Church Mission, Lynbrook, continues unin-
terruptedly under the able ministry of the Rev. Mr. Creveling. A desir-
able property adjoining our present church has recently been purchased
for the use of the priest in charge as a parsonage. After enlarging
the house now thereon, painting it and putting it in thorough repair, the
Rev. Mr. Creveling will take up his residence therein. Thus another one
of our Missions will be in thorough condition for effective work. All
Saints' Church, Morris Park, under the faithful ministry of the Rev. John
Graham, has begun a sinking fund to liquidate its mortgage. The interior
of the church has been tastefully decorated by frescoing the walls of
the nave and the chancel, and presents to the worshipers a very churchly
and attractive appearance. Turning our attention from the present and
past of our work, let me direct your attention to that work which is
before us in the immediate future. The new work that thus opens out
before us is large and fraught with great responsibility. The three open-
ings that are calling and beckoning to us just now are all in the Borough
of Queens. First — the Metropolitan District in the second ward of Queens
Borough, where there are now fifteen thousand people. Alas! we can
make no appropriation at this time to this work, but we shall avail our-
selves of the services of the Bishop*s secretary, the Rev. Mr. Merriman,
to begin work at this point. Second — Dutch Kills. For a whole year
efforts have been made to rent a desirable store, which could be used for
the present as a chapel. In due time St. Thomas' Church, Ravenswood,
should be moved back to Dutch Kills, so as to be in the midst of a
residential section with a population to minister to. To pay the rent of
the store at the rate of $i8 per month for a few months, is asked of this
Archdeaconry — until such time as the Rector and Vestry can pay it them-
selves. Surely we should listen to this Macedonian cry "Come over and
help us." Lastly — a great field, already "white unto the harvest," is
calling and beckoning us to come and take possession of it. The Arch-
deacon is anticipating a pleasant tour of investigation through East Elm-
hurst and Louna Park with the Rector of St. James' Church, Newtown,
to obtain information and knowledge concerning existing conditions. Al-
ready several thousands are in this district waiting for the Church to

minister to them. We have a mission to the big places as well as the
smaller ones. We must go to them and begin work on a large scale.
The demands are large. Our response thereto must be prompt and gen-
erous. Who will help? We need at least $1,200 for the first year's ex-
penses for the large work demanded of us. The report of the Treasurer
is herewith annexed. All of which is respectfully submitted.

Whereas, It is desirable to straighten the lines of the property of St
John's Mission, on Front Street, Hempstead, by exchanging a portion of
said property in the rear for a piece of land on the easterly side belonging
to A. R. Mollineaux, and thereby enlarging the frontage of St. John's
Mission property by five feet on its Front Street side, therefore be it

Resolved, That this Convention assents to the exchange of land hereby
requested, in accordance with the terms of the Charter of the Corporation
of Diocesan Missions of Long Island.

This was carried.

Resolved, That $6,500.00 be raised the ensuing Diocesan year for the
needs of Diocesan Missions, in the several Archdeaconries of the Diocese.

This was carried.

Since October last, four new missions have been undertaken with more
or less success. St. Lydia's, East New York, at the comer of Milford and
Blake Avenues, is perhaps the most prosperous at present. It is about one
mile distant from each of the three parishes, St. Gement's, Trinity, and
the Littlejohn Memorial Church of the Transfiguration. Store-rooms have
been rented and fitted up, at a cost of $25 per month. There is a congre-
gation of more than sixty persons. A Sunday School, which began with
43 members, has increased to more than 80, and the weekly contributions
have grown from $6.00 to $8.50. Mr. George Vernon Dickey, a postulant

for Holy Orders, formerly a clergyman of the Presbyterian Church, is in
charge of this promising work.

The mission at Kings Highway, near Ocean Avenue, has taken the
name of Holy Innocents. More than a year ago a committee, appointed by
Archdeacon Wrigley, reported in favor of this location. Early in January
of this year, parlor services were inaugurated and weekly services have
been in progress since that time. Services are now held in a real estate
office near the Brighton Beach R. R. There is an attendance of from 10
to 20 people ; at one service there were 23. The weekly offerings amount
to about $1.85. A Sunday School has been started which has made but
little progress as yet, but promises well. This mission at present is under
the care of a layman, Mr. Homer D. Wellman.

Another mission, which calls itself the Redemption Mission, has been
undertaken in the Flatlands section. For some weeks the meetings were
held in parlors, but recently a building known as the Vanderveer Mansion
has been secured at a cost of $20 per month, most of which expense they
are prepared to carry themselves. A congregation of from 10 to 15 persons
has been gathered together. A Sunday School began last Sunday after-
noon, with 17 scholars in attendance. This work is cared for by a layman,
Mr. Theo. M. Bedwin.

Another mission has been undertaken at Hawthorne Street, east of
Nostrand Avenue. Evening services have been held there in parlors for
the past three Sundays, the last one. May 13th, having an attendance of 26
persons. Much interest is manifested by the people, who have long desired
Church services, being too far, as they believe, from established parishes.
Children are there in large numbers, who have no Sunday School near
enough to attend. They welcome the coming of the Church, and promise
liberal support. A meeting is called for Friday evening next, to consider
ways and means for a more definite organization. Twenty-three families
have been found, most of whom are eager to assist.

There are other inviting fields in Southern Brooklyn, into which it
seems the Church should go. Begun in this way, they need not be a heavy
drain upon the funds of the Archdeaconry, at least until they demonstrate
the wisdom of larger expenditure.

Italian work has been undertaken by the Rev. D. A. Rocca, an Italian
missionary. The Church of the Redeemer, Fourth Avenue and Pacific
Street, has been kindly given by the Rector and Vestry for Italian ser-
vices on Sunday at 5 P. M. This is not far from a very populous Italian
section. For some weeks there has been a growing congregation. On April
22d, there were 123 persons in attendance. In other Italian sections there
is a demand for the Church. The Rector and Vestry of St. Clement's
Church, East New York, have offered the use of their building at special
hours; also St. Jude's, Blythebourne. Italians, living not far from these
churches, will be invited to attend Italian services. One feature of Italian

work must be recognized at the outset: it is not and can not be self-sup-
porting. The older members of Italian families need, and should have
services in Italian, but Sunday School work must be done in English. The
children as they grow into maturity decline to attend Italian services, but
this must not blind our eyes to the necessity of Italian missions. The
Church at large will be strengthened from these missions, even though the
services in Italian will be a continuous drain upon missionary funds.
$1,200 to $1,500 a year will be necessary to carry on this service, even in
this economical way, but it will require at least $5,000 a year to add Sunday
Schools and Institutional work.

In October last, when I began my work, four parishes, receiving help
from the Archdeaconry, fell vacant. St. Timothy's Church, Howard
Avenue, soon made what seems to be a very wise choice in the selection
of the Rev. A. A. Brown as Rector. The work there is more than ever
prosperous.

St. Alban's, Canarsie; St. John's, Fort Hamilton, and the Church of
the Advent, Bath Beach, have relinquished their prerogatives in the matter
of election of rectors, and have voted to accept appointment by the Arch-
deacon, with the approval of the Bishop, of Ministers-in-Charge.

The Rev. Vernon D. Ruggles has been appointed to St Alban's,
Canarsie. The work there is progressing under his administration. The
attendance at services and Sunday School has been most encouraging, and
the finances of the Church seem to be in a prosperous condition. Mr.
Ruggles has been doing a vigorous work in the community, and it is not
too much to expect at an early date substantial results.

The Rev. J. G. Lewis accepted appointment to St. John's Church,
Fort Hamilton, some two months ago. and the results of his labors have
been most encouraging. It is expected that this parish will shortly be in
a position to begin the erection of a suitable rectory adjoining the Church.

The Rev. G. W. Bowne has accepted temporary appointment to the
Church of the Advent, Bath Beach. From the beginning of his labors
there the results have been highly satisfactory. The attendance at morn-
ing services has been materially increased. An evening service at 7.30
with preaching has been inaugurated, with gratifying results. The offer-
ings at all services have been largely increased. The problem, however,
before the Church of the Advent is the purchase of land in more favorable
locality, the erection of a suitable church edifice and the building up of a
substantial parish. This, it is hoped, may be undertaken during the
coming year.

The other Archdeaconry missions have all made good progress.

The Nativity Mission, Vanderveer Park, has acquired lots at the
corner of Ocean Avenue and Avenue F. These lots, 100 x no ft, pur-
chased in May last, cost $10,250.00; are now worth more. $2,250.00 was
paid on the lots; $500.00 was added to this from the Easter offerings.

and in order that they may take title, they are making a strenuous effort
to pay $1,500.00 more by the first of June. To enable them to do this
they have made application to the Archdeaconry for $500.00.

St. Michael's Church, North 5th Street, the Rev. M. A. Trathen,
Minister-in-Charge, has continued to demonstrate its usefulness. The
attendance upon the services Sundays and week days, and at the Sunday
School, manifests vigorous life. It is believed that the usefulness of this
parish would be greatly enhanced if the Church could remove a few
blocks to a better location. They are now almost entirely surrounded by
Roman Catholics and Jews. They will need also a parish building. This
would be in the line of Church Extension, and it is hoped that ways may
open for its accomplishment

The Rector of St. Matthias'. Church, Sheepshead Bay, reports a pros-
perous year in spite of many disadvantages. The Church has paid all
current expenses, the Minister's salary," and some old debts. The present
indebtedness consists of $3,500.00 mortgage on the property and $800.00
back salary of the Rector. The parish house is finished and furnished.
Plumbing and water are required for the parish house, and a proper
heating apparatus for both the parish house and the Church.

In June last the Rev. Henry B. Wilson was appointed to the Holy
Cross Mission. He found the services cared for by two earnest laymen,
Messrs. H. B. Delapierre and Henry F. Wilson, Jr. There were 14
teachers and a few more than 200 pupils in the Sunday School. Perhaps
a dozen people were in attendance at the morning services and about
thirty in the evening. The results of Mr. Wilson's administration and
labors are apparent. The early communion services were attended during
Lent by from 35 to 50 persons. On Easter morning there were 70 in
attendance. The morning prayer and preaching service will average 55
to 60, and the evening prayer about 100. The Sunday School has grown
from 200 to 444. This work has outgrown its present buildings and is
sorely in need of more room. It is in the midst of a densely populated
and growing section, and many important needs are pressing upon them.
This work, without doubt, demands hearty and liberal support from the
Archdeaconry.

By no means behind any of the others in interest and encouragement
is St. Philip's Colored Mission, in Dean Street, the Rev. Nathaniel P.
Boyd, Minister-in-Charge. He is conducting there a vigorous work, with
'Qost gratifying results. In December last, through the instrumentality
of the Archdeacon and other friends, it was made possible for St. Philip's
to secure an adjacent lot in the rear of their Church building, at a cost of
^5.00. On this lot they propose now to erect a parish building, estimating
he cost to be $4,000.00. The Archdeacon has given assurance that they
^ill be helped to the extent of $1,000.00, if they can secure the other

The Second Day,

$3,oou.oo. The Rev. Mr. Boyd is working vigorously to this end, and it
is not unlikely that before another convention the vision will be a reality.

St. Philip's, Dyker Heights, the Rev. J. H. Sattig, Rector, was assisted
in the purchase of most desirable lots adjoining their property by a loan
of $1,000.00 through the Archdeacon, and from a generous friend of
Church Extension in Brooklyn.

The call comes from many directions for Church Extension. In the
opinion of the writer, the most urgent of these is for the strengthening
of existing missions. Overtaxed churches should be encouraged, parish
buildings erected, additional clerical help given where needed, and in
every possible way progressive work encouraged and strengthened.

The effort to build up and strengthen the income for Church Ex-
tension has not been without substantial encouragement. More than
$2,000.00 has already been subscribed in response to appeals. Other sub-
scriptions are confidently expected. The appeal itself was ill-timed. Un-
fortunate and unavoidable delay brought it out in the midst of Lent, and
the terrible calamity in San Francisco, which brought forth generous
contributions from Brookl>'n as well as other cities, made it seem wise to
postpone for the time further appeal. The total increase, however, from
all sources for Archdeaconry work amounts now to more than $7,000.00
annually

Your Treasurer is ashamed of this report

There are 20,000 Sunday School children in the Diocese, and only one-
thirteenth of them contributed.

The Bishop and the Missionary G>mmittee are very grateful to those
Sunday Schools that contributed, and hope that every Sunday School will
not only give one Sunday's collection during the next year, but abo take
up an extra collection to make up for the year they failed to give one
collection.

This Fund is authorized by Resolution of this G>nvention, and will
be a growing Fund, and one in which the Bishop and everyone is deeply
interested.

OF PROPERTY HELD IN TRUST BY THE CORPORATION OF
THE DIOCESAN MISSIONS OF LONG ISLAND.

First report in Journal for 1903, page 103, for six pieces of property.
Second report in Journal for 1905, page 103, for sixteen pieces of property.
Since the second report, two pieces of property have been transferred to
the Corporation, in trust, viz. :

Deed No. 23.— September 29, 1904, from George R. Williams and
Elizabeth Williams, his wife, for parcel of land at Smithville, South, Nas-
sau County, held in trust for St. Matthias' Mission, in care of Archdea-
conry of Queens and Nassau.

Deed No. 24. — September 2, 1905, from Frank H. Tyler and Louisa A.
Tyler, his wife, for twenty-four lots in Block No. 36, and three lots in
Block No. 38 at Central Islip, Suffolk County, held for St. Boniface
Mission, East Hauppauge.

The Diocesan House needs about $2,000 to meet its annual expenses;
of this amount the Bishop contributes individually, $200; the Corporation
of the Cathedral of the Incarnation, $1,000; and balance from guarantors
of the Maintenance Fund about $800.

When a Treasurer has his accounts audited, he feels at liberty to
make suggestions.

The opening of the tunnels and new bridges is destined to make the
Diocese of Long Island a rapidly growing Diocese, and it will require
judicious foresight in a financial way to meets its needs. The Corporation
of the Diocesan Missions of Long Island needs a large fund to carry on
active progressive missionary work in the three or four Archdeaconries.

The value of the Diocesan Mission House to the Diocese can hardly
be estimated by the great mass of Church members, and it would not be
amiss to state that the House is in charge of Mr. Robert Harrold, who
has done very efficient and satisfactory work.

Proceedings of the Fortieth Convention, 99

The Second Day,

It is a pleasure to submit his report in order that you may gain some
idea of the usefulness of the Diocesan House.

Mr. Robert Harrold's Report.

We have at least 3,000 visitors, exclusive of members of various com-
mittees. Of committee and larger bodies we have had 154 meetings. An-
other important work that has been done is to furnish clergymen as sup-
plies for occasional work in the various churches in the Diocese. I find
during the past year I supplied 69 churches with acceptable priests
from a list I kept on file, with the approval of the Bishop. I have also
provided clergy for three funerals and one marriage. The greater part of
this supply work was done during the summer months. I have calls for
all kinds of information in regard to our various charitable institutions,
not only in this Diocese, but in New York, all of which I try to keep posted
on. Then again, I have calls for organists and sextons, several of which
I have been the means of locating in positions. When we consider what
has been done in the past I think this Diocesan House has been of great
service to the Church at large, and its usefulness is increasing every day.

Proceedings of the Fortieth Convention. lar

The Second Day,

respectfully report that they have had the same under considera-
tion and recommend the following :

Add: Section X. [i]. The Bishop may nominate to the Northern
Archdeaconry of the Borough of Brooklyn and to the Southern Arch-
deaconry of the Borough of Brooklyn, a clergyman to fill the office of
Archdeacon of Brooklyn, who, upon being approved and accepted by both
Archdeaconries, shall take oversight of the missionary work in the said
Archdeaconries, with the exception of the Cathedral and Parochial
Chapels, and generally perform in said Archdeaconries the duties assigned
by Section VI. of this Canon to an Archdeacon.

[2.] He shall hold office for two years, and thereafter in terms of two
years upon nomination by the Bishop and approval and acceptance by the
two Archdeaconries.

[3.] During the incumbency of such Archdeacon of Brooklyn the
two Archdeaconries shall meet together, and the work therein and the
funds therefor may be consolidated and administered as though the two
Archdeaconries constituted a single Archdeaconry. At such meetings the
Archdeacon of Brooklyn shall, if he be present, preside, and in his absence
the Archdeacon of the Archdeaconry within the limits of which the meet-
ing is held shall preside.

[4.] The two Archdeaconries may adopt By-laws for their governance
in matters of joint interest.

Your Committee move that these amendments be adopted.
This was carried.

The Committee on Canons recommended the following
change in rules of order, made necessary by the amendments to
Canons.

Amend Rule of Order No. 5, for Second Day, by inserting after
"Clergymen," on second line, "Trustees for the Fund for the Families of
Deceased Oergymen," and "Trustees of Gergymen's Pension and Retiring
Fund."

Amend Rule 10 by changing "Report" to "Reports," and by adding
"of Trustees for the Fund for Families of Deceased Clergymen," and "of
the Trustees of Clergymen's Pension and Retiring Fund."

These amendments, upon motion, were adopted.

Colonel Cogswell for the Committee on Canons spoke on the
adoption of the new form of Canons by the General Convention
and proposed the following changes in the Constitution and
Canons of the Diocese of Long Island, in order to make them
conform with the new canons of the General Convention.

Colonel Cogswell then moved that further consideration of

was carried.

The Rev. Mr. Holden addressed the Convention on the Men's
Thank Oflfering Fund to be made at the next General Conven-
tion and urged the appointment of a Secretary and Treasurer in
each parish for the collection of contributions.

The Secretary read the following Communications to the
Convention :

New Orleans, La., January i, 1906.
The Rev. R. Rogers, Secretary of Long Island, Brooklyn, N. Y. :

Rev. and Dear Sir: The Joint Committee appointed at the last Gen-
eral Convention, with reference to the memorial presented to the Con-
vention by the 20th Annual Conference of Church Workers Amongst the
Colored People, instructed their Sub-Committee to procure statistics and
information.

In fulfillment of this duty we are proceeding to secure expressions
concerning the "Canon on Special Missionary Bishops" which the Con-
ference proposed to the Convention, with a petition for its adoption.

A copy of the Memorial and proposed Canon is enclosed.

We seek such expression from the Council of the Diocese of Long
Island as will indicate whether they consider our present organization
adequate for this work, or whether they favor the Canon as proposed by
the Conference, or, in case they do not favor the Canon and do favor
some change, what change they would propose.

TO THE GENERAL CONVENTION OF THE PROTESTANT
EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.

At the Twentieth Annual Conference of Church Workers Among the
Colored People, held in St Philip's Church, Newark, N. J., September
27- JO, 1904, the year of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Ordinatioa
of the first Negro Priest in America, in the interest of furthering the
work which we represent, the proposed Canon, which follows, was duly
approved, and it was resolved that this Memorial be forwarded to the
General Convention, with the very earnest request and petition, that your
honorable body would incorporate the same into the Canon Law of the-
Church.

CANON.
On Special Missionary Bishops,

Section i. In Dioceses containing in large numbers peoples who by
reason of certain peculiarities cannot effectively be reached in the regular
diocesan way, it shall be lawful for the Bishops of any two or more con-
tiguous Dioceses to petition the House of Bishops for the establishment
of a Special Missionary District within the bounds of their territory, and
for the appointment, for said District, of a Special Missionary Bishop of
that race, over the congregations of the particular race or language for
which his ministration shall be required in the Dioceses making such
petition.

Sec 2. If, upon consideration of all the circumstances of the case, the
House of Bishops shall deem it expedient, they may proceed at once to

(

112 Diocese of Long Island.

The Second Day,

establish the same, and also to elect a suitable person to exercise Episcopal
functions in the proposed Special Missionary District, after the manner of
the election and consecration of a Domestic Missionary Bishop. The
Diocesan Bishops within the bounds of the District so established shall
constitute a Council of Advice to the Missionary Bishop.

Sec. 3. Any Bishop so elected and consecrated shall exercise Epis-
copal functions in such congregations only, in such Dioceses, and for such
missionary work only as shall have been distinctly specified and described
in the petition for his appointment, and in the action of the House of
Bishops thereupon.

Sec. 4. The rights, privileges and duties of such Special Missionary
Bishop, within his assigned District, and in his relations to the other
Bishops and Dioceses of the Church, shall be in all respects the same as
those of a Domestic Missionary Bishop.

Sec. 5. Each Special Missionary District may terminate with the
natural life of the Bishop appointed to it; or be terminated by his dis-
ability, arising from physical or judicial causes, or by his accepted resigna-
tion made to the House of Bishops.

Sec. 6. Congregations included in a Special Missionary District, by
the terms of its establishment, may, from time to time, withdraw them-
selves or be withdrawn from union with the other congregations of the
Diocese in which they may be respectively situate upon such conditions
as shall have been provided in the petition and action establishing the
District, or* as may be agreed upon between the Special Missionary Bishop
and the Bishop and Convention of the Diocese to which they may desire
to be united.

In proposing to your honorable body the adoption of such a measure,
it may not be out of place to briefly review some of the efforts, in past
years, of a few of the Diocesan authorities to attain the same end iiow so
earnestly sought by your petitioners.

In 1869, when the first colored congregation of our Church organized
in Virginia, applied to the Council to be received "as a parish with all the
rights and privileges of other parishes," the petition was not granted, but
in lieu thereof, it was *'taken under the care" of the Council. Immediately
following this action, the following preamble and resolution, offered by the
Rev. Dr. Andrews, were adopted :

"\ViiKHK.\s, It is believed that a plan can be devised for the ecclesi-
astical and spiritual well being of the colored members of our Church,
more promotive of the respect to which they are entitled as Christians, and
in every way more agreeable to themselves than anything which has been
Hubmittecl. therefore

"A'iJ<)/ty(/, That a committee of three clergymen and two laymen be
appointed to consider and report upon this subject to the next Council"

Proceedings of the Fortieth Convention, 113

The Second Day.

Notwithstanding^ the fact that in the Diocese of South Carolina,
previous to the Civil War, colored communicants outnumbered the whites,
yet in the Convention of that Diocese in 1868, the Rev. Dr. J. S. Hanckell,
Chairman of the Committee on the State of the Church, in his report said :
"In many of our parishes (especially in the lower country, where
this class was most numerous) the falling off in the number of communi-
cants is lamentable in the extreme. In some parishes, where they were
numbered by htmdreds, there are now none. In others the number of
communicants has been reduced one-half or one- fourth. In i860 the whole
number of colored communicants was 2,960. There have been reported
to us (at that dbnvention) only 291. In one parish 14 chapels built for
their use, in another 7, in another 5, in several 2 or 3, are all deserted."

The lamented Bishop Howe, of South Carolina, in his Convention
Address of 1873, says : "I find, myself inclined to think, at least from
present observation and reflection, that if our Church is to do any work
of moment among this people, it must be done by the Church at large.
Let a Missionary Jurisdiction be erected by the General Convention with
express reference to these people, and let a Missionary Bishop be conse-
crated, who shall give his whole time and thought to this work; who, as
the executive, not of a single Diocese, but of the entire Church, shall or-
ganize congregations, provide them with Church schools and pastors, and
in due time raise up from among the colored people themselves, deacons
and priests who shall be educated men, and competent to the work of
the ministry. It would seem as if the Church, even in lack of precedent,
ought to be able to provide for our perplexity."

In the General Convention of the next year, 1874, the Bishop of North
Carolina introduced, in the House of Bishops, a Canon providing for
suffragan Bishops. At the same Convention the Bishop of Maryland, as
a substitute for the proposition from North Carolina, offered a Canon
providing for Missionary Bishops and Missionary Districts.

The Canon which your petitioners, at this present time, ask your
honorable body to adopt, is, with but few verbal changes, the identical
Canon offered by the Bishop of Maryland.

The General Convention failing to give the relief sought at that time,
the Diocese of Virginia, at its Council in 1879, instructed its deputies
to the General Convention to make another effort to secure a "separate
orgranization*' for the colored people of the Southern States, with Bishops
of their own race.

The CJeneral Convention still failing to act, a Southern Conference
was held at Sewanee, Tenn., July 25, 1883, composed entirely of white
Southerners, there being present 12 Bishops, 17 Priests, and 11 laymen.
At the next (jencral Convention, which met in the fall of 1883, in Phila-
delphia, the Sewanee plan was laid before that body, but no definite action
was taken. Despairing of action upon the part of the Creneral Convention,

lrt::>;a::-:.n.

We are unab'ie to see. in its adoption, any greater recognition of the
spirit ot caste in the Church, than that unwritten law which now obtains,
bv the which, the Church deliberately ordains and appoints colored priests
to minister to colored congregations. If it be conceded that a colored
clcrp>nian :s more acceptable to a congregation of colored persons, ^xA
can render more ctficient and satisfactory service, we fail to understand
why a colored priest, as Bishop, whose entire associations, experiences
and observations have been specially concentrated along racial lines, «
any the less capable of administering the affairs of a group of sudi con-
gregations.

In the emplo>-ment of the plan of operation and idwinwtration sug-
gested by us, two definite results are warranted. First, and by no means
the least, race 'friction" will be eliminated, and instead of race prejudice
on the one hand, and race suspicion on the other, mutual good will,
genuine enthusiasm, and hearty co-operation will take the place of indif-
ferent acquiescence. In the second place, it will voudisafe the colored

o the Convention of the Diocese of Long Island:

Gentlemen: The investigation of The Communicants' League has
eveloped the fact that many of the State and Municipal Institutions are
ithout the regular ministrations of a priest of the Episcopal Church.
lie Communicants' League has, therefore, addressed a communication to

.nd it would respectfully urge upon the Diocese of Long Island that this
natter be referred to its proper agency, with instructions to the end that

tnay regularly receive the ministrations of a priest of the Church.

Jas. H. Falconer, Secretary.

Bishop for ordination to the Diaconate.

A request was received from the Church of the Nativity, Vanderveer
Park, for permission to remove the site of their Church to the northeast
comer of Ocean Avenue and Avenue F. A letter was presented from the

Tuesday, the 20th.

Rev. William Morrison presented a corrected draft of the petition
from the corporation of All Saints' Church, Brooklyn, to be allowed to
sell certain property on the northeast side of Seventh Street near Seventh
Avenue. Brooklyn, hereinbefore described, and on motion, the Secretary
was authorized to sign the papers.

An application was received from the corporation of Epiphany Church,
Ozone Park, setting forth that this parish, formerly a cathedral mission,
had become a duly incorporated parish, and been so admitted at the last
Diocesan Convention, asking that the title to the Church property at Ozone
Park, bounded by Wyckoff, Belmont and McCormack Avenues, be trans-
ferred from the Trustees of the Estate belonging to the Diocese to the
corporation of Epiphany Church. The application was granted.

A letter from the Bishop was presented, asking the counsel of the
Committee in regard to a petition from the Rector, Wardens and Ves-
trymen of St. Matthew's Church and Church of the Epiphany, Brooklyn,

all the papers in the case, the following resolution was adopted:

"Resolved, The Standing Committee advise and consent that the
Bishop give his permission to the consolidation of St. Matthew's Church
and the Church of the Epiphany in general accordance with the agreement
duly signed and sealed by the corporations, which agreement, however,
though satisfactory as a preliminary agreement, should be followed by
an agreement more strictly in accord with the terms of Section 12 of
the Religious Corporations Law of the State of New York."

The Rev> John Henri Sattig presented the following report of
the Committee on the General Theological Seminary :

3&t|iort

OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE GENERAL THEOLOGICAL

SEMINARY.

The Committee on the General Theological Seminary respectfully
reports that this institution, under the wise direction of the Dean, the Very
Rev. Wilford L. Robbms, D.D., LL.D., continues to be the leading Semi-
nary of the Church in the United States.

During the twenty-one years from 1885 to 1905, inclusive, 601 students
completed the course and graduated. Of this number, thirty, or about five
per cent, were candidates for Holy Orders from this Diocese.

The largest number graduated in any one year during this period was
in the year 1898, when 44 students completed the course, of whom 3 came
from this Diocese:

The class of 1900 was also large, numbering 40, of whom 4 came from
Long Island.

A perusal of the appended statistics and a survey of the names of the
senior class of 1906, printed in the Seminary catalogue, will show that
during the years 1904, 1905, and 1906, but one student from this Diocese
completed the course.

Your Committee would remind you that it has been frequently stated
that since 1900 there has been a falling off in the number of men entering
the ministry, but that from henceforth they believe an increase can be
expected.

While the present senior class contains but 15 men, the middle class
contains J9, and the junior class 40, besides which there are at present in
the Seminary 5 fellows, 5 graduate students, and 13 special students. The

Sltport

OF THE SOCIAL SERVICE COMMITTEE TO THE CONVENTION
OF THE DIOCESE OF LONG ISLAND IN MAY, 1906.

The Bishop of Long Island, in his annual charge in 1903, spoke of th
social mission of the Church. The Convention in 1905 authorized by canoi

Proceedings of the Fortieth Convention. 121

The Second Day.

the annual appointment by the Bishop of the Social Service Committee to
carry into effect any measures recommended by the Diocesan Convention.
The last Convention referred four matters to us for action.

Sunday Observance.

The first of these was to do something towards securing a better
observance of the Lord's Day by our own Church members, and especially
by those who are now compelled to work on Sunday.

At a meeting of the Committee, held on October 13th, the Secretary
was asked to write to the American Automobile Association, and request
their kind assistance in such way as might seem to them best, so that by
the example and influence of that strong national organization such a
secularizing of the Lord's Day as occurred at the time of the Vanderbilt
Cup Race last fall might not be repeated in succeeding years.

The letter said: "We are aware, however, that no automobile races
are conducted on Sunday under your auspices, and that you recently caused
the arrest of many persons on your Long Island course on Sunday who
were exceeding the legal speed limit.

"We would, however, suggest that you forbid any contestants from
making tests on Sunday or trial speedings at the time on which it is per-
mitted on all days of the week, Le,, from 5 to 7.30 A. M.

"It is possible also that in the future you may discover some more
effective method of preventing persons not members of your Association
from using your course for illegal speedings on Sunday.

"We would also ask whether, without infringing upon the liberty of
the local management of automobile races in various parts of the country,
your Association cannot use your powerful influence for the patriotic as
well as the moral and religious purpose of preserving all that is wisest
and best of the American Sunday, that institution which has done so
much for the founding and upbuilding of our national life."

The letter from the American Automobile Association in reply, stated
that our request had been carefully considered by the Board of Directors
and said: "The American Automobile Association/ through its Racing
Board, endeavored to prevent Sunday speeding on the 1905 Vanderbilt
course, and perhaps another year it could use more effective methods
should the contests take place. The matter of early trials at daybreak on
Sunday would be referred to the Racing Board for its judgment. Since this
riding around the course, frequently done at less than racing speed, could
be considered nothing more than a trip like one might take in a horse-
drawn vehicle, you can, perhaps, appreciate that it might be difficult for us
to forbid this driving on a Sunday.

"You may rest assured that the Association will endeavor to incon-
▼enience and interfere as little as possible with Long Islanders in this
particular.

122 Diocese of Long Island,

The Second Day.

"In other parts of the country we can hardly do other than to allow
conditions to govern, and there is always recourse to law if any illegal
entertainments are attempted. There can hardly be any question but that
the A. A. A. would not permit any national event to take place on the
Sabbath."

The Committee has noticed the increased boldness of persons who can
make money by violating the Sunday Laws, especially those forbidding
Sunday theaters and professional ball games, and we desire to call atten-
tion to the appeal of the actors, that they be not compelled to work seven
days in the week as coming from persons who, having much to do with
the morals of the people, ought not to be deprived of religious education
and privileges.

Probation Work.

The second recommendation to the Committee was that it continue
and extend the probation work in the courts.

History of Juvenile Courts.

Illinois was the first State to codify the laws relating to children,
and on July i, 1899, a children's court was opened in Chicago. Since
then Juvenile Courts Laws have been established in more than thirteen
other States. There are twenty-six Juvenile Courts in the United States,
and there are also many courts where the judges sit at a suitable time
and place to try children apart from adults.

In accordance with two acts passed by the New York Legislature, a
children's court was opened in the Borough of Manhattan on January i,
1904, and another in Brooklyn, September 9, 1905, at 102 Court Street
During 1904, 2,486 boys and 296 girls and during 1905, 2,081 boys and 326
girls were convicted of crime, very often petty larceny, or of disorder in
the streets. Of these 850 were sent to some reformatory institution, many
were fined, and 626 were put on parole, generally under the care of a
probationary officer, to whom they must regularly report.

When the Juvenile Court Law was enacted, it was thought that a
higher type of probation officers would be secured by requiring that thdr
salaries be paid and their selection be made not by the State, but by volun-
tary societies. From the first the Roman Catholics have had a man present
every day in the Children's Court, the Jews have a lady probation officer
there, and recently, as the result of the work of the Social Service Com-
mittee in this probation work, one of our own Church rectors, through a
few private contributors, has been able to place a lawyer of experience as
probation officer in the Children's Court.

Committee's Probation Officer,
The Social Service Committee received a gift of money with which
to provide a probation officer for a year in one of the Brookljm Courts.

Proceedings of the Fortieth Convention, 123

The Second Day,

It was first thought to pat him in the Children's Court, but it was found
there was greater need of such work in the next higher court.

Mr. Charles H. Warner, a member of the New York bar, who is
regularly engaged in the Social Settlement work afternoons and evenings
at the Alfred Coming Clark Neighborhood House, Rivington Street, was
engaged and placed experimentally in the Court of Special Sessions, in
January, 1905, which meets on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at
171 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, at 10 A. M. This court deals with misde-
meanors, punishable by a fine of $500, or an imprisonment of one year or
both. The larger part of the persons brought before this court are
between the ages of seventeen and twenty-one.

After several months' experience Mr. Warner was appointed by the
judges as probation officer of the Court of Special Sessions, where there
is also a lady probation officer, representing St. Vincent de Paul Society
of the Roman Catholics.

Mr. Warner's work has been:

1. To visit the Kings County Jail and talk with the prisoners held
for the Court of General Sessions. This he does on Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays.

2. To investigate certain cases for the judge when the judges feel
that the evidence produced in court is not enough to enable them to give
a wise verdict.

3. To look after certain cases which the judges deem to be fit cases
for parole.

Since January i, 1905, Mr. Warner has had 98 cases referred to him
by the judges of Special Sessions. Of these 79 were for petty larceny, oir
for something similar; 14 were for assault in the third degree. Of these
cases 21 are now on parole and 16 have been discharged from parole on
.good report from Mr. Warner. On his recommendation sentence was
suspended upon 22 cases, and 23 were sent to Kings County Jail or Peni-
tentiary, and 14 sent to the N. Y. C. Reformatory for misdemeanants at
Hart's Island.

It is interesting to note that of those placed on parole only three
violated their parole and had to be rearrested.

The last of the money originally donated for this purpose was ex-
pended about the first of this year. Since that time the finance committee
has been obliged to provide about $60 a month, as it pays Mr. Warner
$50 and his expenses. His work takes his time from about 9 A. M. to
2 P. M. each week day.

The committee will not be able to continue this excellent work after
the 1st of June, imless funds are provided from some unexpected source.

Mr. Warner gives two specimen cases :

124 Diocese of Long Island,

The Second Day.

A Specimen Case.

N — G — , seventeen years of age, was out of work. He had a hard-
working father, a good mother and a comfortable home. He had
answered some advertisements for work, but he was easy and very
unsuspecting of criminal schemes. A fellow who had been in trouble
before wanted some money with which to get his overcoat out of pawn»
so he induced N — G — to take a certain article, which he thought belonged
to this person seeking the favor, and sell it and bring the money back to
him. Both were arrested. N — G — was paroled in my custody, after a
report to the judges of the above stated facts, and his co-defendant was
committed to the penitentiary. I think if this investigation of the char-
acter and the home surroundings of N — G — had not been made, he also
would have been committed. The terms of iiis parole are that he get a
position at once, live at home and report to me weekly, and at the court
each month.

The poolroom caused it. In desperation he had pawned even to his
clothes. He had been out late at night with his poolroom pals, and some
nights did not come home at all. At last he was caught, pleaded guilty,
and was paroled. His widowed mother, almost sent to the grave by her
son's conduct, thought as S — had a desire to get into the army, the disci-
pline there would do him good. He has enlisted for three years. His
poolroom and race track career, and larceny to procure the money such
agencies require, would soon have placed S — in the penitentiary and his
widowed mother in the grave.

Instead of that, a recent letter from his mother says, "About a month
ago he was given a twenty-four hour leave, and from his manners I think
there is a great improvement in him.

Another Specimen Case,
J — L — had a good job as a butler, and had access to all parts of the
house. His employer had great confidence in him, because he was
acquainted with the boy's family, and knew of its respectability. But J—
was an easy mark, and he had some companions who knew this, that he
had a position which would give him great opportunity to get money's
worth when his money gave out. They allowed J — to treat them liberally
in the saloons, for they were out of work. Soon his money gave out, and
to keep these friendships he felt he must get money somehow. Then the
trouble began. His employer began to miss articles, but did not suspect*
until one day he found his gold watch in J — 's pocket. He was arrested*
and pleaded guilty to the charge of petty larceny. He was paroled in my
custody, and is now an honest man.

Another Case.
One of the Manhattan justices on January 8, 1906, said that one case
mentioned in the annual report of J. C. Graveur made in the Court ot

Proceedings of the Fortieth Convention. 125

The Second Day.

Special Sessions in the Borough of Manhattan was such a vivid illustra-
tion of the benefits resulting from the parole that it should be given as an
object lesson to the world.

Mr. Graveur said: "The man in question was now only twenty-two
years old, and had spent most of his life in reformatories. His early years
were passed in an orphan asylum. At fourteen he was sent to the Roman
Catholic Protectory for imlawful entry. He spent a year there, and after
his release was sentenced four different times on charges of petit larceny
to the workhouse for periods varying from sixty days to nine months.

The last time he was before the court he was charged with stealing
twelve dollars. He had been sent by his employer to pay a bill, and dis-
appeared with' the money. He was arraigned in March, 1905, but Justice
Deuel, despite the damaging testimony, decided to parole him. Mr. Graveur
obtained employment for the youth as an errand boy in a department store.
He became manager of that store within nine months. His position is one
of large trust financially.

In his report Graveur said he had 182 cases in the year, and only
two of these had resulted badly. Since 1900 he had charge of 3,655 paroled
cases, and most of these men, the report set forth, are holding responsible
positions. Lawyers and friends after the session presented to Graveur a
gold embossed badge. Justice McAvoy making the presentation speech.

Marriages and Divorce.

The third subject referred to us for action was to endeavor to co-
operate with the various religious bodies to take action for the furthering
of the ideal of the forming and perpetuating of the marriage relation.

Some slight progress has been made on this matter and some further
work is now being attempted.

Fraternal Relation to Brooklyn Central Labor Union.

In accordance with the fourth recommendation of the last convention,
the Rev. John Howard Melish was appointed, representing our committee
as fraternal delegate to the Brooklyn Central Labor Union for the purpose
of informing ourselves concerning their work and of endeavoring to
remove mutual distrust between capital and labor, the function of the
delegate being that of diplomatic representative.

In his report to the Committee, Mr. Melish says: "From the time
of my appointment until Lenten duties prevented, I have attended the
meetings of the Union every Sunday afternoon. What has impressed me
deeply in these months is the character of the labor leaders of Brooklyn.
In no body of men with whom I am associated have I heard more vital
subjects discussed or treated with greater fairness to opposite views and
with deeper insight into underlying conditions. Those men, both for
ability and honesty of purpose, are as worthy of trust as are the leaders

126 Diocese of Long Island.

The Second Day.

in any rank of business or the professions. It is my earnest hope that
they may say as much of us clergymen and laymen.

"I have been impressed with the ethical value of such an organization
no less than with the character of its members. Though the meetings are
held on Sunday, in a room over a place where liquor is sold, the moral
atmosphere of the place is as wholesome as that of any fashionable club.
The men are there for a serious purpose. They report upon their sick
comrades, and delegate committees to 'visit them in their distress.' Any
man or woman with a cause to plead is allowed the floor, and the collec-
tions which have often followed contained neither pennies nor nickels.
The subjects which I have heard discussed are not abstract justice, brother-
hood, charity, service, but justice, as it meets concrete situations in every-
day life; brotherhood, as it calls upon men to sacrifice themselves as
individuals or as trades for other individuals or trades; charity, as it
gives children the chance to grow, unhindered by* grinding toil or disabled
workers, the way to retain their self-respect; service, as the duty and
privilege of citizens to urge their fellows to vote for an idea instead of a
party and its figurehead. The ethical value of such meetings on Sunday
is vastly superior to the social club and not unworthy of comparison with
the Church.

"The Social Service Committee, representing the Church, and the
Central Labor Union, representing the toilers, have at least one common
cause on which it would be wise for them to get together. At the font
the Church claims the child for God, and dedicates it to the service of the
Highest. At the Church door Mammon has too often seized that little
one and made it the victim of greed, for child labor has only the em-
ployer's profits for its purpose, not the educational value of work. It is
the labor union which has stood at the Church door and fought for the
child's body, mind and spirit. I believe that our Social Service Com-
mittee could do no better work than join with the Union in its fight for
the children. I said this to the Union and it was greeted with a cheer.

"In extending to the Committee the privilege of sending a fraternal
delegate the Union acted with great courtesy, and in their reception of
your representative those gentlemen have shown extreme cordiality.

Other Similar Committees.

Since the last Convention two bodies of Christians on Long Island
have appointed a similar permanent Committee on Social Service, each
having the hope that there may be later a co-operation of such committees
from all Christian communions for social betterment The Social Service
Committee of the Brooklyn Presbytery consists of three ministers and two
elders, as follows : Rev. Warren H. Wilson, Rev. L. M. Clarke, Rev. W.
Hutchins; Elders, Howard Haviland, J. R. Frith, who are authorized
"to act either alone or in conjunction with like committees from other

Proceedings of the Fortieth Convention. 127

The Second Day.

religious bodies, and with public officials and with labor unions in study*
ing, reporting and co-operating with social movements and institutions as
the family, the Sabbath, the Labor Union."

The New York East G>nference of Methodist Episcopalians has
inaugurated this Spring a permanent Social Service Committee, consisting
of five clergymen: Reverends A. W- Byrt, A. H. Goodenough, F. J. Mc-
Gmnell, D. G. Downey, F. B. Upham.

Race Track Gambling.

The Social Service Committee i% glad that the Bishop and Clergy of
Queens and Nassau Counties were able to secure from the Legislature an
act forbidding a race track within four miles of the Mineola Court House,
thus protecting the Garden City Institutions and homes from the threat-
ened gambling evils. It desires also to express the hope that something
may be done to induce the State Legislature to repeal those laws which
since i8p5 have practically nullified the article of the Constitution, which
ad(^ted in i8p4 forbids all gambling, poolselling or bookmaking any-
where within the State. Any toleration of race track gambling as less
dangerous than poolroom gambling is seen to be fallacious when one
realizes that it is the race track which in the summer educates young men
to gamble, and thus prepares patrons for the poolrooms in the winter.
While it may not be possible to prevent all gambling, it is possible to
prevent large crowds of people from congregating for the purpose of
public gambling, under the protection and sanction of the law. In the
eleven years since the adoption of the laws which were contrived to pre-
vent any punishment of gambling on the race track, poolrooms and all
forms of gambling have increased tremendously throughout the City and
State. This is not to be wondered at when one remembers that the State
legislators have permitted the race track to be a State school for the
education of our people in gambling, and that each day in the summer an
average of ten thousand and sometimes between thirty and forty thousand
people attend for the reason that they have a special permission from the
Sute to gamble there.

The Conunittee does not request the passage of any resolutions but
will continue to carry out the recommendations of last year and any that
may be made this year.

OF COMMITTEE ON CHRISTIAN EDUCATION.

The Committee on Christian Education would report, briefly, a series
of feicts concerning three Diocesan Schools, one located in the Greater
City of New York, at 286 Washington Avenue, Borough of Brookljm;
the other two in the charming country resort called Garden City.

St Catharine's Hall, under the supervision of Miss Emma O. Conro,
Principal, closes another year of successful work. This city school regis-
tered during the past year ninety pupils. Its material comforts are perfect,
its curriculum excellent, its teachers strong of character, its discipline that
of a well regulated family.

Along with intellectual training, and proper attention to social require-
ments, there is cultivated a spirit of benevolence and such an interest in
others as manifests itself in kindly and philanthropic deeds. This school
provided for forty-five persons Thanksgiving Day dinners; it entertained
at a Christmas Tree twenty-seven children from St. Phebe's Mission;
it has engaged in missionary work at an Orphanage; it has furnished
teachers for sewing schools and Sunday Schools connected with prominent
Churches, and in one parish it provided seven-ninths of a choir for week-
day services during Lent

St Catharine's inculcates high ideals, and endeavors to develop in
her students the best type of Christian womanhood.

St Mary's School, near by the Cathedral at Garden City, is just
completing, under the management of Miss Annie F. Gibson, Principal,
a year of most satisfactory work. It has registered fifty-three day and
fifty-four boarding pupils, with an average attendance of one hundred
students during the entire year.

The object of this school, undisturbed by the excitement of society,
is to secure good scholarship, and by basing both life and study upon a
foundation of religious principle, to promote whatsoever is happy and
wholesome.

- Church instruction begins in the primary department, and is carried
on through a course comprising the Catechism, the Christian Year, a year
on the New Testament, two years on the Old Testament, and one year on
the History of the . Prayer Book.

St Mary's will graduate five pupils in June, and the Senior Class
includes two others who are preparing for Vassar and Wellesley. Four
members of last year's class are pursuing advanced courses of music in
New York.

During Lent five members of the school were confirmed by the Bishop
of Long Island.

The school has contributed for charitable purposes as follows: For

(

The Second Day.

Diocesan Missions, $16.25 ; for the House of St. Giles the Cripple, $129.2^
and for other objects, $37-35. making a total of $182.85.

One has only to visit St. Mary's, walk through her halls adorned
with classic art, note the facilities for instruction and mark the evidences
on every hand of perfect refinement and culture, to realize that the Diocese
has here one of the finest preparatory schools for girls to be found in our
land.

St. Paul's School, Garden City, of which Frederick L. Gamage,
D.C.L., is head master, has enrolled during the school year, twenty-one
day and one hundred and sixty-two boarding pupils, making a total of
one hundred and eighty-three students.

Regular chapel services are held twice a day. The upper forms
attend the Cathedral service on Sundays. Every Monday a period of
forty-five minutes is devoted to religious instruction, when all the students
take part. Eleven boys were confirmed at the Cathedral on Easter Day.

St. Paul's has contributed in aid of a distressed school in Tennessee,
$50.00; and to the Mineola Mission, $100.00. The school has also con-
tributed a quantity of clothing to "The Friend in Need Society" of New
York.

The St. Paul's Club, composed of Upper Form boys, is doing good
work in promoting religious study, and securing speakers on ethical topics.

In view of the healthful location of St. Paul's School, the perfect
sanitation of its building, the character and experience of its teachers, the
high standard of its scholarship, its athletic organizations, its elevate<i
social atmosphere, its remoteness from rival institutions, and its access^'
bility by rail, is it a wonder that its popularity continues to increase?

On Commencement Day forty-three boys will graduate. Of the^**
one will go to Columbia College, two to Amherst College, two to Harva^"^
College, two to Cornell, two to the University of Virginia, nine to Princ:^^
ton College, and twenty will go to Yale.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

The following resolution, offered by Colonel Asa Bird Ga^"
diner, was carried:

Resolved, That 1,500 copies of the annual address to this Convention
of the Right Reverend Bishop presiding, be printed for the use of the
Diocese.

The Rev. Winfield S. Baer presented the following report of
the Sunday School Commission :

OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL COMMISSION.

The Committee of the General Convention having the matter of Sun-
day Schools under consideration will make its report next year, and until
such report, it is felt that our efforts can best be directed towards stimu-
lating interest in the work.

Under present circumstances, this interest is advanced by meetings to
consider Sunday School matters. A meeting was held in Holy Trinity
Church, Brooklyn, in November, at which most valuable addresses were
made by workers of prominence. While the congregation was fair, it is
a matter of regret that more of our teachers were not present to profit by
these carefully considered addresses.

The Spring meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 29th, at St. Gabriel's
Church. Hollis.

While not formed under the working of the Commission, we report,
as a matter of interest and congratulation, that a league of Sunday Schools
has been formed by some ten of the Churches on the Park Hill section,
with meetings of teachers for advice, and of schools for inspiration and
encouragement. We commend this to other groups of Churches.

134 Diocese of Long Island.

The Second Day.

The Rev. Dr. Bacchus presented the Report of the Church
Charity Foundation and other charitable institutions of the
Diocese.

The Standing Committee of the Church Charity Foundation and other
Benevolent Institutions of the Diocese attempts only to limn in barest
outline the love-work which the Church has wrought, during the past
year, in and through her noble group of Diocesan charitable institutions.
The full picture of her love-endeavor, with its vistas of cheer and achieve-
ment, must, for want of time, remain undrawn. It will suffice for the
purposes of our report if we merely glimpse the wide circle of the Church's
charitable effort. We may not pause closely to study its various segments.

Several bits, of the periphery of the Church's love-effort, however,
invite at least a fugitive glance. One such bit of the circle-sweep of our
benevolent work is the Sheltering Arms Nursery, 157 Dean Street, Brook-
lyn, a wholesome covert for destitute yoimg children, in which the mother-
heart of the Church surrounds them, with loving care, and Christian
nurture. In this sanctuary of relief, at the beginning of its past year,
were seventy-two children; into it, during the year, sixty were received,
and from it seventy were discharged. The sustentation fund received
from all sources, $6,866.14, and it disbursed $6,830.23. The especial needs
of this department of the Church's benevolence are, first, a livelier interest
in its work on the part of Brooklyn parishes, for its present inadequate
support is chiefly given by individuals, not parishes; and, second, an
increase of its present Hospital Fund of $1,000.00 to an amount sufficient
to provide a hospital ward where surgical cases can be treated and where
contagious diseases can be quarantined.

The Trained Christian Helpers, 1489 Pacific Street, have their place,
too, in the circle of our diocesan love-work. The radii of their arc of
supreme helpfulness, if we may so speak, are, first, the providing a two-
years' course of free training under skilled physicians, of capable Christian
women as nurses — thus equipping them for a life of usefulness, and,
second, the sending them out to nurse the sick in homes of narrow means,
where, without their help, the sick would be deprived of skilled care. This
department of our work has no financial problem to solve. It is generously
maintained by friends who know the inestimable worth of its unselfish
work. It's supreme need is to recruit its ranks with women who have the
grace of sacrifice and are moved by the Christ spirit. No nobler sphere
of Christian usefulness could be opened to devoted Christian women.

The House of St. Giles the Cripple, 417 and 419 Clinton Street,
Brooklyn, describes a long curve in the wide circumference of our dio-
cesan benevolence. Within its kindly walls two hundred and sixty suf-
ferers were treated, the past fiscal year, and one hundred and ninety-eight
operations were performed, resulting for the most part in physical better-
ment. Its Summer Home, St. Giles-in-the-Fields, Garden City, L. I., has

Proceedings of the Fortieth Convention, 135

The Second Day.

proved a delightful adjunct to St. Giles the Cripple, enabling its bene-
ficiaries to avail themselves of the pure air and sweet naturalness of rural
life, during the torrid months of a Brooklyn summer. The financial
status of St. Giles is excellent. Its receipts from all sources were $21,-
534.94 and its expenditures, including payment of interest on mortgages,
repasrment of borrowed money and reduction of mortgage on St. Giles-in-
the-Fields were $20,749.17, leaving a balance of $785.77. The total of net
assets is estimated at $20,904.30, and this total will be largely increased
in the near future by systematic reduction of its mortgaged indebtedness.
Indeed, on the first of May, 1906, a further reduction of debt, in the
amount of $1,200, not included in the already mentioned figures, was
made, and in the early autumn the debt will be still further lessened by
applying to it a bequest of $2/xx) realizable at that time. A uniquely
Christ-like work is this of St. Giles, and we bespeak for it an ever-
widening interest.

In our rapid and necessarily superficial survey of the broad sweep of
the Church's love-work we must not overlook St. Phebe's Mission,
125 DeKalb Avenue, Brooklyn. Even one last, long, lingering look would
not reveal the manifoldness of its service of love. It stands an ever- ready
friend to its neighborhood, a centre from which ray forth loving sympathy
and encouragement to the plain many in their daily trials, inciting them
to live the higher life. St. Phebe carries sweetness and light into hos-
pital, almshouse and jail. She climbs crazy stairways to minister to those
in rags and want, and threads the slums on errands of mercy. She con-
ducts a Convalescent Department in which patients discharged from
Hospitals, but still too weak to work, are lodged until they recruit their
strength, administers the Kindergarten and the Kitchen garden, classes
for Boys, cooking and sewing classes, Girls' clubs, Young Mothers' clubs,
Mothers' meetings, the Loan closet, the Penny Provident Fund, clothing
sales, and Fresh Air Work. About one-third of St. Phebe's income of
$5,020.77, the past year, was derived from the earnings of its Endowment
Fund of $38,000; the remainder was supplied by individual subscriptions
and donations from some fourteen or more of our parishes. Its salient
need is a larger number of regular yearly subscribers to its maintenance
fund.

Our glance at the wide circle of the Church's labor of love would be
singularly misleading and illusive if we failed to remind you of the large
segment which The Church Charity Foimdation occupies in that circle.
To change the figure the Church Charity Foundation, consisting of the
Home for the Aged, the Orphan House, St. John's Hospital, the Sisters*
House, the Training School for Nurses, and the Home for the Blind, is
and ever must be the cynosure of all eyes in the shining galaxy of the
Charitable Institutions that deck with glorious sheen the firmament of our
diocesan love-endeavor. Its ministrations are so large, so various, and

(

136 Diocese of Long Island,

The Second Day.

so inclusive of all the critical and necessitous periods of human, senile
infirmity, untaught childhood, disease-stricken manhood and womanhood,
as to make it loom largest in our field of loving service and the centre of
our interest and affection.

Its work the past year is most gratifying in respect both of its quantity
and quality. Its Hospital has treated from ten to fourteen more patients,
its Orphan House has welcomed more children, than in the year foregoing
and its Home for the Aged is now full to repletion. Along with this
increase of work, expenses have been met without deficiency, although it
was necessary to pay a triennial insurance premium of $2,255.56, and renew
the electric lighting at a cost of $2,043.65.

Coincidental ly with its enlarged work and bettered current account,
has been wrought, wondered to relate, the complete financial rehabilitation
of the Church Charity Foundation. Through the munificence of Mrs.
Arthur W. Benson, Mr. Frank Sherman Benson, and Miss Mary Benson,
a gift of $40/xx) was made last Spring to the Foundation, to be applied to
the cancellation of its entire debt, $71,000, provided that the remainder of
the indebtedness, $31,000, should be raised on or before the ist of October.
A special committee consisting of Messrs. P. R. Jennings, William H. Male
and the Rev. Paul F. Swett were appointed to solicit contributions, and so
successful was their appeal that the entire amount was raised before the
expiration of the time limit, and thus was our dear Church Charity Foun-
dation freed from its intolerable weight of debt — "heavy as frost and deep
almost as life." Whilst we should rejoice that the Foundation is no longer
fettered by debt and that its endowment fund is steadily growing, the in-
crease for the year being $7,506.65 and the total amounting to $316,945.34,
from which there is an annual income of $14,725.59, yet our rejoicing
should be tempered by the reflection that the parishes have contributed the
present year about $1,000 less than last year to the maintenance of the
Foundation, and in the face of the fact that its current expenses must
necessarily increase with its enlarging work.

The Church in times past has given much of her best thought to per-
fecting her organization, enriching her worship and safe-guarding her
truth. It was well she did so. One, however, would greatly misconceive
the trend of her life to-day if he failed to see how the Church is shifting
her accent from things accomplished, and placing it upon that social service
which the age is demanding of her, and without which she cannot live her
full life. The love-work she is doing to-day is prophetic of that larger ser-
vice she is to render when she shall "see life clearly and see it whole."

APPENDIX A

THE BISHOFS ANNUAL ADDRESS TO
THE CONVENTION

DeKvered May 15, 1906

It is my privilege to address you at this, the fifth annual
I^iocesan Convention since my consecration as Bishop. During
the past year, from May ist to May ist, I have visited 92
churches and missions for confirmation, and have confirmed
2,072 persons. I have ordained three men to the priesthood
and two to the diaconate. I have also deposed one deacon from
the ministry.

Appended to this address is a list of my official and semi-
official acts, which will be printed in the Journal.

The overwhelming calamity which recently came to the
E>iocese of California has called forth the sympathy of Church-
men throughout the Qountry. Now that the pressing physical
^^eds of the people have been satisfactorily met, it is well for
^s, as Churchmen, to recall the fact that the Church herself in
San Francisco will suffer a serious blow unless some united
effort is made for the rebuilding of her edifices. This work
^ill take many years to accomplish, and in the end let us hope
^hat our sister Diocese, situated on the Pacific in a position
analogous to our own on the Atlantic Ocean, may be but the
stronger for the crisis through which she has passed. From
these misfortunes we can turn to our own history during the
past year.

The Church Charity Foundation.

Foremost amongst our blessings during the past year has
been the payment of the entire debt of the Church Charity

I40 The Annual Address

Foundation. This was made possible by the gift of $40,000,
offered entirely without solicitation, by Mrs. Arthur W. Ben-
son, Mr. Frank Sherman Benson, and Miss Mary Benson.
The Committee who had in hand the raising of the balance were
pleased by the cordial response given to their appeal, and at
the meeting of the Board of Managers, in October, they were
able to report the entire sum, $71,000, as subscribed. The his-
tory of the Foundation is thus a justification of Diocesan
methods. Had it not been from the start closely linked with
the Diocese and made a distinctly Church Charity, it would
never have survived the dark periods of its history. There
were times when its friends were discouraged, and only their
belief in Church methods and aims kept them at their post and
saved the Institution from shipwreck. Now that the ship is
safe, I hope that all will join in trying to strengthen it for a
yet longer cruise. I think I can promise you careful and con-
servative management, and the Diocese has vindicated its title
to generosity. Only it will never do to rest satisfied or secure
with what has been done. In that case "the end of growth is
the beginning of decay." The Diocese must never cease its
efforts until it has made its Hospital, its Home for the Blind,
its Orphans' House, its Home for the Aged, rank with the best
in the country. The most pressing need at the present time is
a building for the nurses, where the accommodations may be
such as are commensurate with the service that is required.
After that we need, as an adjunct to the Hospital, a place for
convalescents and for hopeless invalids who do not require the
constant attendance given at the Hospital. A country branch
of the Orphans' department is also desirable. Thus, we see a
long road of progress stretching before us, if only we avoid
falling again into the quicksand of debt.

There is another danger which should be avoided, that of
leaning too much on what is known as city aid. This is a
custom which has grown up in many private charities, and
which ought to be held in check. It is right that the city
should pay for the work which it asks charitable institutions
to do, but few misfortunes could be greater for a Church
charity than to be dependent on City or State for support, or to

be unable to care for its people, if a city comptroller should
for any reason cancel the gifts from the public funds. The
Church Charity Foundation has maintained its general inde-
pendence in this respect, and I mention the matter only as a
general warning. This whole question is liable at any time to
come up for consideration by the public. It is decidedly un-
American for any private charity or hospital, whether it be con-
trolled by a Church or by Trustees, to be supported by tax-
ation. Such a system might result in those churches or boards
which could wield the greatest amount of political influence
getting the lion's share of the State's beneficent disbursements,
and in this way huge private establishments might be built
up to the glory of denominations or individuals, when the tax-
payers alone have borne and continue to bear the chief burden.
The City or State should, in my opinion, do its own work,
build its own libraries, manage its own schools, administer
its own hospitals and homes. I believe that the time is coming
when this cleavage will be insisted upon, and that then our
charity must be able to stand the strain.

The Archdeaconry Idea.

In September last, acting under the resolution of the last
Convention, I appointed the Reverend James Townsend Rus-
sell, Archdeacon of Brooklyn. This appointment has been
helpful to the Missionary work in Kings County. The Arch-
deacon's report shows that several new missions have been
started in places where they were sorely needed ; the mission-
aries in the field have been encouraged by the presence of one
who could give his whole time to the work, and I feel con-
vinced that the office has been created none too soon to meet
the rapidly changing conditions of the City.

I shall endeavor, acting with the Archdeacon, to put greater
strength into the already existing missions, and to build up
larger work rather than multiply small circles. An amend-
ment of the Missionary Canon is to be presented to this Con-
vention, in order that the Archdeacon of Brooklyn may have

(

142 The Annual Address

canonical standing, and that the Northern and Southern Arch-
deaconries may meet together and act as one. At some future
time more radical changes may be desirable, but time alone
will show what readjustment of the machinery is necessar}'
for greater efficiency.

The Diocesan Canons are already in harmony with the
great principle of the Church, that the responsibility for mis-
sions must rest with the Bishop, and that to whomsoever the
responsibility is given, to him the authority must be entrusted.
In accordance with this, the Bishop alone has the power of
initiation and location of missions and churches, although he
cannot act without the advice and consent of the Standing
Committee. No missionary can be appointed except with his
consent. The dismissal of the missionary follows the same
law. and is left to the Bishop, acting with the Archdeacon.
No one who reflects on the tentative character of much of our
missionary work, would dream of giving rectorial rights to
missionaries, any more than to curates in charge of parochial
work. The Archdeaconry system is intended to be an assist-
ance to the Bishop in his work, and, rightly adjusted, it makes
possible the administration of a large Diocese, but it is not
intended to limit in any way the Bishop's responsibility or to
take from him the privilege and duty of close personal associa-
tion with the missionaries.

The Salaries of Missionaries.

The salaries of many of our missionary stations are sadly
inadequate. It is some satisfaction to know that they arc
promptly paid, but the fact that good men can be often ob-
tained to serve for small stipends should not blind our eyes to
the need of making adequate provision for men from whom the
best work must be demanded. I commend this subject to the
three archdeaconries, with the recommendation that either by
combinations of missions, or by larger giving on the part of
the people, the missionary may be placed beyond want and
disheartening care.

Widows^ and Orphans^ Fund.

In this Diocese a Clergyman's Retirement and Pension
^'und has been started. If it can be increased it will, with our
^ged and Infirm Clergy Fund, provide reasonably for the
leeds of the aged and aging clergy. But the Widows' and
Drphans' Fund is too small to meet the demands made upon it.
mrely here is a first duty to a great and prosperous Diocese
ike our own. Widows with little children to support need
generous treatment, and I can assure you that your money
)rings a blessing to those whose dear ones have died in the
Church's service. Our Fund is well nigh exhausted. Already
we receive for this purpose from the General Relief Fund more
than we give back to it. I appeal, therefore, to the clergy to
explain the need to their people, and to take up each year the
canonical oflFering.

Two Canons of the Church.

I wish to call your attention to two canons passed by the
last General Convention. One is Number 14, which directs
that no election of a Rector shall be had until the name of
the clergyman whom it is proposed to elect has been made
known to the Bishop, and sufficient time, not exceeding thirty
days, has been given him to communicate with the Vestry
thereon. And the other is Canon 38 on the Solemnization of
Matrimony. The second section directs that the Parish Regis-
ter shall be signed, not only by the officiating minister at a
Wedding, but, if practicable, by the married parties, and by at
*cast two witnesses of the marriage. I should rule that this is
^vvays practicable when the marriage is in the Church, and
that such signing ought not to be omitted after the ceremony.
Thus, the woman writes her new name for the first time in the
Church record.

The Font-Maur Property.

Great cause for rejoicing should be felt on account of the
sale by the Trustees of the estate belonging to the Diocese of

144 T^ Annual Address

the lands at Maspeth. This gift was made by Mr. James
Maurice in 1871. At a later date, August, 1901, his surviving
sisters. Miss Sarah E. Maurice and Miss Margaret J. Maurice,
freed the land from the restrictions to sale. To this family of
noble givers the Diocese of Long Island owes a debt of grat-
itude, which a former Convention expressed by resolution, but
which will be remembered as long as the Diocese exists. The
fund will be wisely safeguarded and invested, and the interest
will be employed, according to the deed of gift, for benevolent,
charitable and religious purposes in the Diocese of Long
Island. It will be the endeavor of the Trustees to see that the
income is so expended as to be an incentive to others to give.
It is a pleasure to me to record my own appreciation of the
wise judgment of the lay members of the Standing Committee
who carried out the details of the business transaction now so
happily ended.

Business Integrity.

Much sadness has been caused to honest people by the
revelations of corruption which have been made during the
past year in the business world. It is needless for me to say
that however great may be our sorrow or indignation, the
Diocesan Convention is not the place to pass aimless resolu-
tions emphasizing our belief in the Eighth Commandment, and
our horror, either of forgery or misappropriation of funds, or
larceny. Rather should we endeavor, by greater care of our
own trust funds, by more diligent attention to our various
parochial methods, to show the true example of scrupulous
honesty and faithful administration. Most of all should we
abstain from those modes of raising money, which, when seen
on the race-course, or pool-rooms, are strongly and bitterly
condemned. It will be only an added drop of bitterness to a
pastor, or a parent, when he finds the young man wasting his
savings in such pursuits, to reflect that the first taste for such
ventures was acquired at church fairs, or in lotteries, or card
parties, gotten up for parish or charity revenue. I believe that
the Church has long outgrown such practices, but it is well

To the Convention. 145

us to remember that money thus gained is thrice tainted.
; tainted by him who gives and him who takes, and by the
rch or charity which presides over the entertainment. If
Church will but keep herself clean from all such defilement,
will do more to stamp out corruption in business, and
ibling in society, than all the acts of a legislature or the
sion of a court. Not money, but the love of money, is the
: of all evil, and the Church can get along without parish
s, or fine buildings, or costly charities, if to get them she
to teach her youth that gains are to be made only by others'
es, and thus stains the high sense of honor which the cate-
m inculcates in the hearts of every one of her children.

E Missionary Apportionments and the Men^s Thank
Offering.

\ few words should be said in regard to the great work of
Church in the missionary field. It is a cause of thankful-
j that the Diocese has continued to increase the amount
in to this object. On September last, the Board of Missions
)rted that it had received from Long Island for its general
k $18,037.68, an increase of $4,834.84 over the preceding
r. Still, we fall far short of what is asked and what we
ht to do. I wish that we could report next year that the
>le of our apportionment, $41,000, had been raised. Let us
f, and work, and give, with no less an ideal before our
ds.

rhe Committee which has the Men's Thank Oflfering in
rge has been steadily at work, and I trust that the clergy
laity will do all in their power to assist them, so that every
I may have the opportunity to enroll his name on this great
of honor and to do his part to make the three hundredth
iversary of the beginning of Church life in America a fes-
1 worthy of our Lord and Master, on Whose Altar the
ring is to be laid.

The Church's Authority on Matters of Faith.

[n conclusion, I wish to speak of a subject which has been
r close to the minds and hearts of Churchmen during the

146 The Annual Address

past year, the question of the allegiance of the clergy to the
Church's creeds and faith. I am aware that a Convention
Address is not the place in which to discuss subtle theological
problems, but it is surely not amiss for me to outline what I
think should be the practical policy for the Church and the
Diocese in a crisis, which, while its importance may have been
exaggerated, has certainly caused anxiety and uncertainty to
many devoutly religious minds.

It is claimed, then, by certain writers that the facts of the
Christian Creed are on the eve of being disproved by historical
science, or, as they prefer to call it, by higher criticism; that
these facts of the creed are not essential to the faith, and that,
therefore, men should be allowed to retain their positions as
teachers and officers of the Church when they no longer accept
the historical statements of the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds.

Far be it from me to wish to belittle higher criticism. I
glory in every one of its victories. I believe that the new and
scientific method of studying the Old and New Testaments
have deepened the spiritual life of scholars, and, through them,
it has affected the whole body of believers. But it is only fair
that we should be warned against the arrogance of those who
would claim "higher criticism" only for the ranks of doubters.
The man who believes the truth that the Second Person of the
Adorable Trinity became man in the womb of the Virgin Mary,
and that He took then upon Himself the form of a servant and
was crucified for us and rose again from the dead and ascended
into Heaven, will not be less exact, sincere, candid, faithful, in
the scientific study of the Scriptures than the man whose creed
is that no miracles ever happened, and that man's salvation
can come only from his own evolution, and is not brought
down from God. The fatal mistake, however, which is often
made by enthusiasts for higher criticism, lies in supposing that
it is to be the final judge in regard to the truth of the Christian
faith. The Professor's study is too far removed from the center
of human life. So long as his talk turns around the non-essen-
tials, the accretions of the faith, he may be allowed to decide^
just as Indians might be allowed to prowl around the fort and
(ake some of the worthless pieces of timber, or even cut down

To the Convention, 147

some of the trees which obstruct the view, 'but once let them
touch the real palisades of the fortress, or the guns on the
ramparts, and they die. So scholarship may decide about
II Isaiah, about a scientific or poetical treatment of the first
chapter of Genesis, about the book of Jonah, or Daniel, or Job,
or Deuteronomy. It will be allowed to discuss grave ques-
tions about the New Testament, and on its verdict, if that ver-
dict ever reaches fixity, we may rest, in determining the
authenticity and dates of early documents. But the moment
scholarship tries to touch the Person of Christ and to settle in
regard to the vital facts which lie behind the creed, it will find
its mistake. The people will have none of it. Instinctively
they feel that science has passed beyond its mark and assumed
an ofHce to which it has no right. Science can take us back to
Easter Day, can show us Peter and the loved Apostle running
to the Tomb, but science cannot enter. That is left for faith.
Science can take us back to the Bethlehem Khan on Christmas
morning, and show us perhaps the Mother and Joseph and the
Child, but faith alone can believe that the sweet face of the
woman is that of a maiden and that the Child has been con-
ceived by the Holy Ghost and is the Only Begotten Son of
God.

But to the people the faith, not the science, is essential.
Whea the father and mother must pray for their sick child,
they do not care to enter into any philosophical dissertation
about miracles, and to debate whether Jesus raised the daugh-
ter of Jairus from sleep or death. They believe and pray. And
even when the child is dead, and they stand by the open grave,
do you think they want the Professor to come with his disser-
tations on the Resurrection and tell us that the early ration-
alists adopted the theory that Jesus had not died ; that Strauss
and Kenan called it merely a subjective vision; while Keim
called It an objective vision ; that Martineau said it was only
a legend, and so forth and so on ? No, they believe according
as they have or have not received the Light of the Holy Spirit,
and nice calculations of German scholarship will not touch
them in their hour of trial. Imagine the young pupil of the
Professor asked to read to some sick and d3ring servant oJF

148 The Annual Address

Jesus and prefacing his reading by the statement that the most
careful modern scholarship has decided that there are only
nine absolutely credible sayings to be attributed to Jesus, and
that without these sayings the Person of Jesus could be re-
moved from the field of history. The poor disappointed face
turns away, and the lips of the believer repeat, "Come unto
me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you
rest." "Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, believe
also in Me." "In My Father's House are many mansions, if it
were not so I would have told you." That is faith, faith in the
Person of Christ, and you can see how far you are removed
from the Professor's lecture room.

What I am trying to bring out is something which every
historian should acknowledge: the power and importance of
the Church in determining faith. The Church is a teaching
church, ''ecclesia docens/' Now all teaching is necessarily in
part and at certain times dogmatic, and those who plead for
the abolition of dogma from the Church, plead for something
which if granted must destroy the Church as an institution.
The child is not at a certain age told to reason. "You do it this
way," says the mother, and long afterwards he will see the=
reason. So we call the Church our mother, and we believe hetrr
dogmas. We may not attribute infallibility to those dog^aSi^.
That word infallibility, in my judgment, should never be use(]^B

But we can respect and bow before the Church's authority a

the supreme guide, for the Church is guided by the Holy Spir^3
into all truth. With the exception of the Gospels themselves ^s
no more impressive period of history exists than the histo^r-;
of the General Councils of the Church, as they formulated ttia
creeds, defining with great care only so that they might pi^o
tect our faith in Jesus Christ, as Perfect Man and God. It is
easy, under the leadership of such an historian as Stanley, t<y
show personal defects in the leaders at the Council of Nice, ancf
to paint the lack of dignity and decorum in the assembly. It
would be easy, too, to adopt Gibbon's shallow and supercilious
attitude towards the whole question of the Divinity of Christ,
which was made to turn on the use or omission of the smallest
letter of the Greek alphabet from the Nicene Creed. But when ]

N

To the Convention, 149

all this sort of writing has spent its force, we come back to the
study of those years, and watch with a feeling of awe the
unfolding of God's truth in the councils of the Church. Every
heresy that can be imagined was promulgated during those
first four* centuries, and the Church, founded upon the Rock of
the Person of Christ, stood firm as the great waves of false
doctrines broke in vain upon her massive walls.

It is, then, absolutely scholarly to give to this faith of the
Church an authority over our critical theories. A friend of
mine, who, in seminary days, was a deep and troubled student
of modern criticism, as it was thirty years ago, became so
sceptical that several of us doubted if he would be ordained,
said a few years afterwards to one who asked him about his
rationalistic theories, that all those questions solved themselves
in active parochial life. That is a common experience, I doubt
not. The Holy Spirit has inspired the Church as a teacher,
and to-day she teaches the same truth about Jesus Christ which
she taught the men who in Nero's time gave their bodies for
torches in the Emperor's garden, or died among the lions in
the arena.

And it would be absurd to say that this faith in the author-
ity of the Church will not form a bias in our critical studies.
But if you can show me a man in any department of life who
is not biased, I will grant you that a bias towards the Church
is wrong. If you come to me with some hypothetical case of
forgery or murder, and ask me to decide about the evidence,
I will sit calmly down and try to dissect and weigh and judge,
and render an impartial verdict. But suppose in the middle of
my calculations you tell me that it is my own son who is
accused of the forgery, or the murder, immediately the whole
case is changed. I know him, I believe in him, I love him. I
am sure he would not deceive. It is my faith. I can now
plead my best before the jury. But the facts will be looked at
in a different way from before. So Jesus creates in men's
minds an attitude which can hardly be called neutral, and those
who accept the Church's teaching about Him, and believe Him
to be the unique man, will see only beauty and truth in the
thought of the empty tomb and the Christmas birth. There is

I

150 The Annual Address

nothing to be ashamed of in this bias. We have learned to
believe in Jesus as the Way, the Truth and the Life. We see
in Him one who died not as other men die, but who died for
all mankind; we find in Him one who asserted His own
peculiar position towards God and towards man, and who
claimed that He worked miracles, and whose closest friends
claimed that He rose Irom the dead. That this whole faith
creates in us a disposition to believe the facts of St. Matthew's
and St. Luke's gospel, and makes us reverent in our treatment
of the Church's creeds, can not be denied. But it adds to and
does not detract from our intellectual honesty as we repeat the
words, **Who for us men and for our salvation came down from
Heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin
Mary and was made man."

But what shall be the attitude of the Church towards those
who hardly recognize the right of the Church to dogmatic
teaching, and who doubt the facts asserted in the creeds?

Let me say, then, it should be one of toleration. We do not
wish to multiply heresy trials. The Church is entrenched in
her own fortress. She need not fear. Mankind is inherently
honest. The normal conscience will not permit a man to go on
saying the creed and not believing it. The whole great liturgy ■
of the Prayer Book is against these naturalistic ideas of thess
Christian Religion, and laymen and clergy alike will demand^
"common honesty" in themselves as they come to the services ^
But still the Church will recognize that some of her men mag^
stand in suspense, and that doubt is not always exclusive o^
faith. As Dr. Frederic Henry Chase says, in the Cambridg-3
Theological Essays, which I recommend to all clergy who fe^=9
the need of clearer thinking on these great questions, "Chri^=5
tianity is an historical religion ; and, therefore, as in the na ^t
ural order, so in the world of faith, there must needs be tw^/-
light as well as noontide splendor. Inability to rank all articles
of the Creed on the same level in regard to historical evidence
is not equivalent to the denial of any." Sometimes the twilight
will seem to many a thoughtful Churchman almost to have
become night, and his hold on one or the other of the Christian
verities may have been relaxed. The Church would be gentle

To the Convention, 151

with such. She does not commission them to teach their
doubts or errors, but to wait in prayer for the light of the Holy
Spirit, That I think to be the intended meaning of the much
discussed phrase in the Bishop's Pastoral issued at the last
General Convention, "Be silent or withdraw." The whole pas-
sage, had we time to discuss it, could be made clear, and, while
the idea may have been awkwardly expressed, it was mani-
festly not the intention of the House of Bishops to encourage
hypocrisy, but to counsel silence and prayer and study to
those who were tormented with doubts about the Church's
fundamental teaching.

I would not voluntarily pile up metaphysical or speculative
difficulties at the present time. My office is rather to en-
courage than dishearten the honest doubters and lead them on
to faith. I subscribe to the sentiment of John Stuart Mill, who
said, "I hold entirely with those clergymen who elect to remain
in the National Church, so long as they are able to accept its
articles and confessions in every sense, or with any interpreta-
tion consistent with common honesty, whether it be the gen-
erally received interpretation or not."

But the real difficulty lies in that expression, "common
honesty." And those who distinctly throw over thie Church's
Authority and publicly, or in print, say that the facts of the
Creed may be denied, can hardly fail to be tried and con-
demned. This is a matter of necessity. The Church herself is
ixi danger. The old questions were to a certain extent imma-
"t^rial. When Wesley said that "the giving up of witchcraft
'Uras the giving up of the Bible," he said something which was
xtianifestly not true. The Graf-Wellhausen theories about the
Pentateuch may be, as Dr. James Orr claims, radically destruc-
tive of the Church's faith, but it takes a good deal of erudition
to appreciate them, and no one is going to be radically dis-
tressed by the assertion of the mythical theory of Abraham or
Isaac or Jacob. Most of us may be content to let the discus-
sion continue. But when you advance to Jesus, and claim that
the account of His birth and resurrection is also a myth, that
all the miracles related in the Gospels were either the record
of natural cures worked by an unusual personal influence or

152 The Annual Address

are out and out legends, such as collect around the history of
Buddha or Mahomet, then you have destroyed the Church of
Christ.

Let the Church once decide that such views have their
place in her sanctuary, and her power is gone. She sinks down
into an ethical society, which, however, will command the
respect of no one. No self-respecting young man would wish
to go into her ministry. Young men are not cowards. They
are ready to take the venture of faith. But they will not take
a vow to teach the doctrine which this Church has received,
when they believe that the opposite is Biblical truth. They
will not consent to use, in reciting the Creed, mental reserva-
tions, of which the traditional Jesuit would be ashamed. No
obloquy attaches itself in these days to the term "heretic"
Huxley, Emerson, Carlyle, Ledywich, Froude, are all honored
names. But history will not honor the men who put strained
constructions on the Creed and say the liturgy with constant
apologies for the mediaeval superstition. When, in political
life, the cabinet officer finds himself out of sympathy with the
President's policy, he will relinquish his salary, leave his pleas-
ant Washington home, resign his prestige and social influence,
and retire honorably into private life. The clergy can be
trusted to act no less honorably when they become convinced
that they must teach some other creed than that which this
Church hath received.

There can be no compromise here. The Church's mission-
ary life is at stake. It has become a question between natural-
istic ideas and those deeper and more mysterious views of the
sacraments and the Person of our Lord, which were held by
the Apostles, by St. Paul, by the Evangelists, and with un-
broken descent by the great teachers and saints of the Church
to the present time. Take this faith away, and yet a natural-
istic religion with a humanitarian Christ be a legalized doctrine
for our pulpits, and you have taken away the missionary
motive from the Church. She would no longer believe herself
commissioned to go into all the world and preach the gospel
to every creature. The Atonement, the Doctrine of Sin, and
Eternal Salvation in the Blood of Christ, when once you have

eliminated the miraculous from the pages of the New Testa-
ment, disappear as living truths for the people. The world,
then, is watching us in this struggle around the manger cradle
of the Son of God. The facts of Christmas and Epiphany are
true facts in the life of Jesus. We are not teaching our chil-
dren lies. Of any other man than Jesus it would be utterly
impossible to assert such facts. But we believe the Church
when she asserts of Him that He came down from Heaven and
was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary.
"I believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church."

The Right Reverend Benjamin Wistar Morris, D.D.

Only one Bishop has died in the American Church during Conventioi
year, the Right Reverend Benjamin Wistar Morris, D.D., Bishop of Ore
gon. He was consecrated Bishop in i868y and his great work in his impoi
tant Diocese has been known and appreciated by all who watched his looi
<:areer of faithfulness in his responsible position.

The Rev. Dean Richmond Babbitt, D.D.

The Rev. Dean Richmond Babbitt, D.D., came to this Diocese in th
year 1898, to asume charge of the Church of the Epiphany. He was a ma
of high education and untiring energy. He assumed a church which wa
apparently hopelessly burdened with debt, and by the interest which h
created he saved the Diocese from what is always a calamity, the dissoh
tion of a parish corporation by bankruptcy. When, at the time of hi
death, St Matthew's Church united with the Church of the Epiphan
under the new title of The Church of St Matthew, the Epiphany ha
• already been made solvent But I think that all who have watched th
history of the Church of the Epiphany must feel that it is not right for
Church to lay upon her clergy the entire burden of a crushing load of deb

The Rev. Richard Fletcher Putnam.

The Rev. Richard Fletcher Putnam was ordained Deacon by Bishc
Eastburn, of Massachusetts, in 1859; he was advanced to the Priesthoc
and came to this Diocese in 1902. When he died he was faithfully servia
as curate in All Saints' Church, Brooklyn.

The Rev. Arthur Kirby Fenton.

The Rev. Arthur Kirby Fenton was bom in England, and wa^
graduate of Pembroke College, Oxford, in 1871. He was ordained to "1
Diaconate in this country by Bishop Whittle in 1893, and to the Priestho
by Bishop Peterkin in 1894 ; for many years he served the Diocese of W<
Virginia, but in 1901 he took charge of the Mission of Christ Church, Po
Jefferson, where he did noble, self-sacrificing work. All who knew hit
could bear witness to his untiring fidelity, his courage, his gentleness. Th<
influence of his presence will long be felt in the commimity where he
labored.

Two laymen, formerly members of the Diocesan Convention, have died
during the year. Hon. John F. Nichols, who was for many years a vestry-
man and the Treasurer of the Church of the Messiah, died in Decembei
Mr. Jonas Stremmell, who had been vestrjrman of St George's Churd
Astoria, since 1855, was for a long period a delegate from that parish t

t will be noticed this year that we have reduced our communicant list by

'era any purpose to carry on our lists members that we cannot find, and
rt them to Convention as If they were living entities in the work of the
eh. We are advised, however, by a distinguished canonist of the diocese,

Ve beg to call attention to Ascension Chapel, which has paid Its own way
i It was opened in March. 1905, and which is situated over a mile from the
ih church. Greenpolnt section of Brooklyn has a population of 1^ the
of Utica, where there are 6 or 7 Bpiscopal churches, and which Is the
City of the Diocese. Our clerical force and strength, financial and other-
, Is easily gathered from this report. With no rectory, and a population
5,000 to minister to, the Rector within seven months was thrown into
old fever, and was given up both by his physician and his parish.

Ascension Chapel was opened for service in a vacant store on the first Son-
day of March, 1905. It started with 9 children and 5 adults, and services were
maintained by the Rector every Sunday at 4 P. M., and Sunday School at 3 P. M.
Last fall we moved from the store, situated at the comer of Humboldt St and
Norman Ave., to the Norwegian Church, on Russell St., near Nassau Ave., and
the hour of service was changed last March (our first anniversary) from 4 to 7
P. M. At this unusual hour we have had as many as 38 persons present, bat
we cannot make it Inter, as the church is used for an 8 P. M. service by tbe
Norwegians. Through the Church Federation 175 families have been discovered
who claim some relationship to the Church, and had the work been started 10
or 20 years ago in all probability another independent parish would have been
added to the diocese. As It is. the Lutherans, with their liturgy in English and
their vested choir, have built a fine stone edifice, largely at our expense.

Herrices In sign language for the deaf have been held in St. Mark's Church
-every Sunday afternoon. These services have been under the direction of the
General Manager of the Church Mission to Deaf Mutes, Rev. John Chamberlain,
D.D., who has himself celebrated Holy Communion with the deaf people on the
fourth Sunday of each month. Six young deaf men and women have during
the year been presented there for confirmation. Owing to a lack of clergy
<^iiTer8ant with sign lansruage, the other services have nearly all been con-
-dacted by lay readers.

Ad organization styled "The Brooklyn Guild of Deaf Mutes." whose chief
PQTpose is to maintain a fund for relief of the sick and poor, holds its meetings
tn St. Mark's Parish House.

There are about one hundred deaf people in the Diocese, most of them in
^roolLlyn, who have been confirmed, nearly ail of whom receive the Holy Com-
"munion more or less frequently at St. Mark's. There are probably two or three
hundred more, many of whom have been baptized, who need pastoral care.
Since their homes are scattered all over Brooklyn and Queens Boroughs, proper
•*>^herding of these people would amply occupy the time of a clergyman. Under
l^f^nt circumstances, one man has to do the best he can to meet similar con-
ations in four Dioceses.

On July 20, 1905, the parishes legally known as St. Matthew's Protestant
Episcopal Church and the Church of the Epiphany were by due process of law
consolidated, under the title. The Church of St. Matthew. The services of the
consolidated parishes are conducted in the church situated at the comer of
rompkins Ave. and McDonough St. This note seemed to be necessary in order
to account for the change in title.

St. Matthias* Church has been able to pay all back debts, water tazea^
aaseasmentB, insurance, gas bills, and interest on the mortgage, and starts with
a cleun sheet so far as current expenses are concerned. The only debt now on
the society is the old mortgage debt on the church property of $3,300.00, and
back salary, now reduced to 1760.00, due the Rector at the beginning of his first
two years. The Hector, as Treasurer, has made special elTorts, supported by
the people, to bring about this favorable result. On October 22, ld05. Bishop
liurgess opened with appropriate religious services the new parish house, costing,
with its furniture, over $5,000.00, all paid for. This church sadly needs plumb-
ing and water for the parish house, and an adequate heating plant for the
church and parish house.

summer there are from 70 to 80 families worshipping with us, in addition to
our own 41. From January to Easter I opened my own house for seiricM,
partly to save expense and partly because of the location of the church outside
the centre of our people. The result was Encouraging, my winter congregatloot
being tbe largest of any of the past three winters. My ministrations extend to
the people of the community, and the church is quietly winning its way. We
have met with beary finauclal reverses this past year by deaths and remoTSls,
but hope and work on.

The order of the Trained Christian Helpers, now in the eighth year
of its existence, has for its object the furnishing of trained nursing help
in the sick rooms of the poor and the middle class, who cannot possibly
afford to have the trained nurse, and their service is offered either free
or at moderate figures to meet the circumstances. The Home and training,
which covers two years, are offered free to any young Christian woman
who comes with the high motive of rendering a trained, intelligent and,
therefore, helpful service to the sick and needy. Lectures arc held almost
daily in the Winter season and examinations test the progress of those
taking the course, till at the end of two years, if found proficient, a cer-
tificate is presented. During this time they hold themselves in readiness
to respond to the call of the physician in such cases where the length of
time they have been under training justifies their going, and while in active
service they will receive a weekly stipend for their personal use, in addition
to the Home and training, which are offered free.

The statement given below of the year's work shows the varied field
of service into which the Helpers go, and the character of the servic*
rendered is best attested by the results obtained, which have proved ov«^
and over again that the skilled attention of the trained nurse saves precio**^
life many times, while the giving of this trained nursing help to the sic*
poor is an unspeakable benediction. The financial condition of the Ho«^«^'
is excellent. Absolutely no debt and the rent for the coming year larg^^^
provided for, but we need more earnest, devoted women to take the tra^-"*'
ing. In so vast a population even all the efforts combined represented ^^

The amount received for income exceeded the amount paid to
beneficiaries and for expenses by $2,180.09, which added to
$326.20, the contributions from churches, makes a net gain for
the year of $2,406.29 and brings the total of the Fund up to
$126,490.91 as against $124,084.62 in 1906.

In 1905- 1906 fifty-five churches contribtited the sum of $958 14

In 1906-1907 seventeen churches contributed the, sum of 326 20

This large reduction in the number of contributing churches
is explained by the fact that many of the Parishes which have
heretofore contributed to this Fund have sent their contributions
to the Treasurer of the Fund created by the Convention of 1906
"For Families of Deceased Clergymen."

The demands on the Fund show an increase for the year :

The amount paid to beneficiaries for the year 1905- 1906 was $3,648 00

rest and persistent work. At the commencement of his efforts he
aided by one of our Board, who was most interested in our work,

AMERICAN CHURCH BUILDING FUND COMMISSION.

Brooklyn, May 14, 1907.

The Diocesan Committee presents herewith their report for the past
ear. Seven Parishes completed their apportionment and twenty-seven
Parishes contributed. This Diocese has founded three memorial named
jnds and is shortly to be credited with the bequest of Col. Martin.

The permanent fund now amounts to $426,721, including The Winner
50,000, or $376,721 active capital.

1. This Fund is permanent, and will continue doing its work.

2. The object is necessary to Church extension, and to the establish-
lent of religious influences in sparsely settled portions of the land.

3. The plan is no experiment. In England the Church Building
society has done splendid work. And our own Commission can show a
ecord of twenty-six years of faithful and efficient service.

4. The business affairs of the Commission are managed by expcri-
nced business men, elected by the Commission at large, and having the
onfidence of the entire community.

5. Bequests are asked. Form: I give, devise and bequeath to
HE "American Church Building Fund Commission/' of the Protes-
ANT Episcopal Church in the United States of America^ for the
rsEs of said Commission, etc

6. Please send contributions to George C. Thomas, Treasurer,
Church Missions House, 281 Fourth Avenue, New York, who will
eturn receipt.

Report

3F THE MISSIONARY COMMITTEE AND THE TRUSTEES OF
THE DIOCESAN MISSIONS OF LONG ISLAND TO THE
DIOCESAN CONVENTION, MAY 22D, 1907.

The Missionary Committee and the Trustees of the Diocesan Mis-
sions of Long Island, in presenting its annual report to this Convention,
desires to place upon record its sense of loss and sorrow that has come
to our Diocese in general and to this corporation in particular in tfie
recent death of Mr. Wilhelmus Mynderse.

74 Diocese of Long Island.

The Second Day.

To him we are indebted for the corporate and legal organization of
the Missionary Committee, whereby it has been enabled to take title to
Missionary property, to mortgage the same, and to so manage sod
properties as to place our Missionary operations in the several Arch-
deaconries on a sound and business-like basis. We also remember widi
gratitude that Mr. Mynderse made the Diocesan House in Brooklyn pos-
sible by his foresight and generosity. The title and management of tbe
Diocesan House is vested in this corporation, and we feel that the brasi
tablet, soon to be placed in the Diocesan House to Mr. Myndcrsc's
memory, will serve to keep alive for the future generations that will use
the House the memory and good works of a good man.

In accordance with the terms of section six of the Charter of the
Corporation of Diocesan Missions, which provides that "no conveyance
of any such real estate shall be made, unless authorized by the Conven-
tion of said Church in the Diocese," application is herewith asked of
this Convention for permission to transfer and sell the following Missioa
properties :

The memorial Church of the Transfiguration, situated at the comer
of Railroad and Ridgewood Avenues, Brookl)m, along with the two ad-
joining lots belonging to said Mission, and to transfer the same to the
Trustees of the Elstate belonging to the Diocese of Long Island.

To sell thf property known as St. Margaret's Chapel, Van Brunt
Street, Brooklyn. Also to sell the Parish House of the Mission of the
Transfiguration, on Fulton Street, between Railroad Avenue and Hem-
lock Street, Brooklyn, and with the proceeds to pay off an existing
mortgage now upon the property, and to use the balance in erecting a
new Parish House in said Mission.

Also to sell the property of the Mission of the Annunciation, Glen-
dale, and with the proceeds to cancel an existing mortgage of %AS^
and to use the balance derived from the said sale in new Mission work .
in the Metrepolitan District, Queens County.

The Missionary Committee offer the following preamble and resolu-
tion:

Whereas, Application has been made to this Convention by the Dio-
cesan Missions of Long Island for permission to transfer the title of the
Mission property of the Memorial Church of the Transfiguration, situated
at the corner of Railroad Avenue and Ridgewood Avenue, Brooklyn,
and its two adjoining lots, to the Trustees of the Estate belonging to the
Diocese of Long Island :

Resolved, That such permission be granted. Also the following:

The Second Day,

The Bishop has allotted from the "Maurice Fund" the sum of $1,500,
d the Corporation will have to ask this Convention to allot them the
m of $1,000 per annum in order to pay the expenses of running what
ght to be considered one of the most important buildings in the Dio-
ie.

It has become a necessity, its usefulness is increasing and its con-
nience as an official building for all kind of work pertaining to Church
)rk cannot be estimated.

You can gain some idea of its importance by the following report of
r. Harrold which, by courtesy of the House Committee, I have the
asurc of reading.

Mr. Robert Harrold's report endorsed by the House Committee:

Brooklyn, May 13, 1907.

During the past year the work of the House has been very active,
'e have had about 4,000 visitors and 139 meetings of conunittees and
rger bodies. At the meeting for the Men's Thank Offering April 30th,
ere were about 140 present. We have provided Clerg3rmen for services
Churches and Chapels throughout the Diocese 114 times; I have also
id calls from New York City. There has been one marriage in the
Ottsc celebrated by one of our Clergy. I have provided for several
ncrals, or directed parties to the Clergy for their services. Several
indsome gifts have been presented to the House, as follows: Two
igravings, by Mr. J. Ives Plumb; oak prayer desk, from Mr. P. R.
ainings; chair, marble candlestick and vases, from Mrs. Rosman; and
chime of 5 bells from Archdeacon Russell, which are rung daily for
ic Noon-Day Prayer. In this connection it might be of interest to
ate that Noon-Day Prayers for Missions and the Diocese were inaugu-
ted in the House December 15th last, and have been said 126 times to
ite, with an attendance of 636; the services have been taken as follows:
lie Bishop, 6 times ; Archdeacon Russell, 40 ; Rev. E. J. Burlingham, 33 ;
r. Harrold, 34; the rest by visiting Clergy, who are always invited
len present.

I am pleased to report that the house is in good condition and the
•vice the past year satisfactory. Robert Harrold.

This Convention is indebted to the foresight and wisdom of the late
ilhelmus Mynderse in securing this property and for his kind-hearted
i noble generosity in improving it, so that its usefulness permeates the
olc Diocese.

Let us vote to support it and show our respect to one whom we all
ed. Respectfully submitted,

James W. Eaton,

Treasurer,

8o Diocese of Long Island,

The Second Day.

It was moved by Mr. Eaton and seconded that an appropria-
tion of $i,ooo annually be made to the support of the Diocesan
House. Carried.

The Rev. James Townsend Russell, Archdeacon, presented
the Report of the Archdeaconry of Brooklyn.

fieport

OF THE ARCHDEACON OF BROOKLYN.

April 30, 1907.

The Church Extension Fund has given to St Philip's Colored Mis-
sion one thousand dollars toward the building of a Parish House. The
building is now complete, and the money for final payment is assured.
The total cost is four thousand dollars. It is interesting to know that
this is the only Parish building in any colored work in Brooklyn.

Two hundred and sixty dollars has been given to the Church of the
Nativity, and they have secured another two hundred dollars to pay off
a note outstanding for four htmdred and sixty dollars.

Three hundred dollars have been given and four hundred and some
odd dollars have been promised to the Church of the Holy Cross for
payment on an addition to the Parish building there.

The sale of the property of the Church of the Advent, Bath Beach,
has been arranged for the sum of four thousand and four hundred dol-
lars. This money is to be turned over to the estate belonging to the
Diocese of Long Island, to be expended by them under the direction of
the Bishop of the Diocese for Church work somewhere in that vicinity.

The new Missions under the Archdeaconry have made favorable
progress.

St. Gabriel's Mission, Nostrand Avenue and Hawthorne Street, has
broken ground for a place of worship which, it is hoped, will be ready
for occupancy June ist. They are erecting now a basement, or cr>T^
eighty by forty feet, which will be used until they are able to complete the
Church.

St. Lydia's Mission, East New York, Milford and Blake Streets,
has made such progress that their present rooms are inadequate and
plans arc formulating now to secure land and erect thereon a place of
worship.

Proceedings of the Forty-first Convention. 8i

The Second Day,

Holy Innocents' Mission, Kings Highway, Mr. Homer D. Wellman,
f Reader, needs a better place of worship. They have been using for
le months past a real estate office of inadequate size. They have a
tiday School of about forty children. We hope to accept an offer
de by Mr. Harmon, of Wood, Harmon & Company, to sell them land
a corner of Ocean Avenue near Kings Highway. This land is held
six thousand dollars, but will be sold to the Mission for four thousand
lars. No payment will be required until a place of worship has been
cted thereon, when a mortgage will be drawn for the full amount —
ir thousaid dollars — and interest on that amount will be required from
t time on.

Redemption Mission, now meeting in the old Vanderveer Mansion,
•tbush Avenue and Avenue J, has appointed a committee to look for a
Iding site. They are self-reliant and energetic, and are most anxious
establish themselves in their own property. Some move will be neces-
y shortly, as the city has taken the Vanderveer property for a police
tion and there is no other available place which can be rented.

Italian work, under the Rev. D. A. Rocca, has made encouraging
►gress at the Annunciation Mission, Lefferts Park. The present store-
>m has proven too small for the work. It is filled to overflowing at
lost every meeting. The Sunday School has an average attendance of
rty-five children, which number would be greatly increased if teachers
re available. The Rev. Mr. Rocca has, until recently, been obliged to
iduct the teaching of the whole school. Another place is to be taken
mediately in the heart of this Italian section, where not only the mission
vices will be continued, but settlement work, as much as possible, will
undertaken. A petition, signed by a large number of young men lately
aie from Italy, requesting teachers in English, has been sent to the
chdeacon.

The Trustees of the estate belonging to the Diocese of Long Island
11 petition the convention for authority to sell the property known as
. Margaret's Mission in Van Brunt Street. It is hoped that we may
alize twenty-five hundred to three thousand dollars from this sale,
hich money should be used for Italian work in the very large settle-
ent west of Fourth Avenue and south of Pacific Street.

The Rev. Mr. McGuffey called attention to certain typo-
aphical errors in the Ballot for Deputies to the General
Dnvention and moved their correction. Carried.

Central /j/i>.— Rev. R. M. Edwards reports that "the work is holding

cwn," though handicapped by being under the shadows of the State

"lum, where other Church services are held weekly, keeping the work

irate and relieving the Church people of their responsibility toward the

irch of the Messiah.

Ronkonkoma. — Rev. R. M. Edwards reports that the people are so

tared that it is a difficult matter for them to attend regularly, yet he is

itly encouraged by their faithfulness. He has taken up his residence

~e now in the rectory, and hopes to develop an added interest. Both

irch and rectory need repairs, and he cordially invites contributions

this work.

East Hauppauge. — St. Boniface's, Rev. R. M. Edwards. This work,
imenced two years ago for a German people, has now a Church of its

Mary's Church, Dunton; altar hangings by Emmanuel Church, Great

would express our thanks to the Women's Auxiliary of St. Luke's

irch. Sag Harbor, for their contribution to this work, as well as to

d, so that without debt the work might be completed. Faithful and

erous service has been rendered by the workingmen of this congrega-

in helping build the Church.

addition to the village, though a growing interest is shown in the
irch.

of these two places, situated ten miles apart. Yet, had it not been for the
foithfal adherence of the Yaphank congregation, he could not have con-
tinued the work as long as he did.

Centfr Monches.^Rcy. F. C. H. Wendel reports that owing to
removals and internal dissension this Mission has become greatly
weakened

BeUport.—Rcy. I. McElroy reports that interest is growing in the
Church's services, and a brighter outlook for the work promises, owing to
the fact that the newcomers to the village are building near the Church,
and so forming a community, with the Church as the center.

Brookkaven. — Rev. I. McElroy. This Mission has shown improve-
ment in number in attendance, though largely from summer people. The
work must be continued, though at times it would seem as if "all had
moved away** that had an interest in it

Port Jefferson, — Rev. J. Morris Coerr entered upon the charge of this
work last summer, and his report shows the result of his labors. "All
holy da>*s have been duly observed. Church attendance and number of
communions made have steadily increased. At 3 o'clock every Sunday
afternoon I instruct the children in the Church catechism, and added more
children to the Sunday School. Six have been baptized and eleven con-
firmed. With money derived from a legacy of $5,000 we have purchased
a house and lot adjoining the Church. The house has been repaired and
improved, and is now occupied by the priest in charge. The sanctuary of
the Church has been deepened and heightened and a new sacristy built as
a memorial gift from Mr. and Mrs. F. Raynor, of Brooklyn. At the same
time a new choir room was built and the basement of the Church ceiled
and cemented. New pews are ordered and will shortly be put in place.
Handsome choir stalls have been ordered by Mr. I. M. Sweezey as a tnt-
mortal to his friend. Mr. Fred. Ra\'nor. The Girls' Guild have given a
handsome credence table, corresponding with the choir stalls in design, a
memorial to the Rev. -\. K. Fenton, late priest in charge."

Amagansett (Summer Chapel). — This work has been cared for by
clerg>- appointed by the .Archdeacon during the months of July and

kindness of Dr. \V. Gw\Tine. During July last. Rev. J. C. Hewlett offici-

of the windows given by St. George's Church, Astoria, etc. The contract
has been made and a Church to cost $3,725 built ; to be named St. Thomas'
in loving memory of the years of service rendered by Dr. Thomas
Richey, D.D., Professor in the General Theological Seminary, during his
vacation, while residing at Easthampton. A lectern was presented by
Mr. C. P. Jeffereys, of Easthampton, while an organ was promised con-
tingent upon the gift of another to St, Luke's Church, Easthampton, by
*Rcv. O. F. R. Treder. It is hoped to have the Church completed and in
use this July, when Mr. S. C. Fish, abou^ to be made a deacon, will, with
Rev. O. F. R. Treder, care for this field, in connection with neighboring
villages east and west of Easthampton. We need pews to complete the
furnishings, and any contributions may be sent to Archdeacon Holden,

Bridgehampton.—St Ann's Church. The Atchdeacon received July
last a letter sent the Bishop, asking that services might be held at Bridge-
hampton. The kindly offices of Miss Sherlock furnished the place of
worship by making a temporary chapel in the Sandford homestead, and
services were begun on the first Sunday in August, with the Rev. R N.
liferriman in charge for that month.' Sixty people responded to the invita-
tion and a definite interest was awakened; so much so that Miss H. J.
Sherlock has given a lot 200 x 200, and a golf club building given by the
owners of the club building, at a nominal cost has been transferred from
its former site to the present land owned by the Mission, and named
St Ann's. The Rev. O. F. R. Treder has, at the suggestion of the Arch-
deacon, carried on services on alternate Sundays since September either
at the residence of Miss Sherlock or Dr. Corinth. This work is to become
associated with St. Luke's, Easthampton, Rev. O. F. R Treder, who will
have Mr. S. C. Fish (deacon) with him. We need contributions to fur-
nish this building for use, and would ask the co-operation of any churches
-who can help us with suitable furnishings.

Caroline, Setauket — Rev. D. Marvin, rector, reports: Although, to a
certain extent, difficulties and discouragements have hindered the work
in this ancient Parish during the past year, we are thankful to say that
much good work has been accomplished, and the promise for the future
seems bright. Our morning services have, as a rule, been well attended,
but it is always difficult, except on special occasions, to make our evening
services what they extended into the Parish Building. Donations of cloth-
ing, fruits and vegetables have been sent to the Church Charity Founda-
tion, and a large barrel of clothing and Christmas presents to St Cyprian's
Mission for Colored People at Darien, Georgia. We have suffered a great

OF THE ARCHDEACON OF QUEENS AND NASSAU.

I ara glad tc !eam that the Children's Advent oflFering this year
amounts to $925. a !:ttie more than we asked for. This is most encour-
aging, as last year, ir^stead cf receiving nine hundred, we fell behind the
amo'jr: asked fcr. I think in two years' time we can confidently reach
the the -J sard do!!ar mark and depend upon the children, who now number
nearly seven th?"5and in our two counties, for that amount in behalf of
Missionary Work-
It is proper at this time that we should make a survey of the entire
Missi'-^rary field within the Archdeaconry. We will speak first of all of
The Cathedral Missions.

St. Thomas'. Farmmgdale, is now happy in its attractive and com-
modious new Church. This Church was consecrated by the Bishop of the
Diocese in December last in the presence of a number of the clergy and a
large congregation, the Rev. Mr. McMullin preaching the sermon. For
thirty years past the faithful flock in Farmingdale has been worshipping
in the old horse sheds, which had been constructed into a Chapel, after
their new Church had been suddenly burned down. During the past six
years they had faithfully gathered together, partly through the efforts of
Miss Jennie .\llen, a sum of money amounting to nearly $800. With the
help of the Missions Committee of the Cathedral, a loan of $2,000 was
made, and thereby it was possible to erect this new Church. As the debt

was not placed upon the property it was possible to have it consecrated.
The Rectory, situated just across the street from th^ new Church, has
been purchased, and also the corner lot adjoining the Rtectory. The title
to this property is vested in the Diocesan Missions of Long Island. The
house was put in thorough order with all the modem improvements, so as
to be quite a comfortable home for the Priest-in-charge and his family.
The Rev. Mr. Merrick has done faithful work here and at Hicksville, as is
evidenced by the increasing attendance at Divine Worship at both places.
Another of the Cathedral Missions that has given evidence of increased
spiritual and financial life is the Church of the Transfiguration, Freeport
For four years the present Priest-in-charge, the Rev. Pelham St. George
Bissell, has faithfully ministered to this Mission, and has also ministered
as Priest-in-charge at the Mission of St. Paul, Roosevelt. Six hundred
dollars has been paid to reduce the mortgage of $6,000 resting against the
church property at Freeport. New pews and choir stalls have been placed
in the chancel and in the church at a cost of $520.69, all of which has
been paid by the congregation. The records show an increasing attends
ance at the public services and an increase in the number of communicants,
and also an increase in the offering of the congregation. With its church
and its rectory, and the adjoining property situated at the corner of Long
Beach and Ocean Avenues, we have one of the finest pieces of property in
that section of Nassau County. Priest and people are happy in the peace
of God's blessing now resting upon them and the hopeful outlook for the

n. Missions Parochial.

On Palm Sunday afternoon in company with the Rev. Thomas W.
Martin, Rector of Trinity, Hewletts, and the Rev. Henry Meiser, Rector
of St. John's, Far Rockaway, a visit was made to the recently established
Mission at Cedarhurst. Some two years ago, the rectors of the two above-
mentioned Parishes agreed to establish a Mission at this point, and this
move on their part has proved to be a wise one, because of the large
attendance at the Sunday School and the services on Sunday afternoons.
The rectors of both Parishes divide the spiritual and financial responsibility
between them in the care of the Mission. Ever since its establishment
the Church and the Sunday School have contributed to the Children's
Advent offering of our Archdeaconry, and to the General Board of Mis-
sions, through the Lenten offering. We have here a beautiful example of
unselfishness and an non-parochial spirit in advancing the Master's King-
dom in this part of the Archdeaconry.

On Sunday after Easter the Archdeacon made a visit, by invitation
of our faithful fellow member, Mr. Wm. J. Sweney, to the Colden Avenue
Club of St. George's Qiurch, Flushing. This is the fourth year that your
Archdeacon has been asked to make this visit, and each time finds evi-

dence of that large Missionary spirit which has ever abounded in tb<
hearts and lives of the people of this venerable Church, whose guests w
are to-day. This year, as last year, the people beautifully decorated th
Mission room with flags and flowers. For several years our fellow men
ber. Mr. Sweeney, with the help of the other members of St George
Brotherhood, has given untiring efforts to make this work effective in tl
moral and religious uplift of the people in that part of Flushing. £viden<
abounds on every hand of its &r-reaching effectiveness, as seen in tl
desire of those who come under influence to better their condition, ai
their mental, moral and spiritual welfare. Strange as it may seem tl
influence of this work upon the people is such that when they have gottc
its spirit they move to other places to enable them to carry on the goc
work which the Mission has begun within them, and thus this Club whi
it may have no future as to the establishment of a permanent Church,
doing a beautiful work of rescue which goes out into other Parishes. S
Stephen's Mission, Port Washington of the Parish of Christ Church, Mai
basset, has become an independent and self-supporting Parish, of whic
the Rev. W. R Nies has become the Rector, and entered upon the duti<
of his Rectorship on No^'ember -dth last

III. Missions op the Archdeaconry.

Wc come now to the Missions of the Archdeaconry. I am prepared
to report that the beautiful new church of St. Andrew's by the Sea, Bdl«
Harbor, is completed. It is proposed to have the service of dedication by
the Bishop on the third Sunday in June next The wisdom of planting a
church here has already been evidenced by the recent development of
real estate enterprise at this point On all sides of the church have been
erected beautiful summer homes and many others are in course of ercctioa
Situated as it is between Belle Harbor and Rockaway Park, it will be able
to minister to the people of both communities. I believe it will not be
nrany years before this church will be used all the year roimd, because
already a permanent population makes Rockaway Park its home. To fur-
nish this church with the necessary pews and to pay a small balance for
the erection of the church it will be necessary for the Archdeacon to
borrow some $1,000 to $1,200. This will be a floating debt, which I am
assured the cvMigregation will in the very near future liquidate.

Tliree miles down the coast, at Arveme, stands the Congregational
Church, which has been offered to us. Our learned counsel, Mr. Whitford.
has had tfie matter under careful and serious consideration, so that title
to this property might be legally taken. The way has been found whereby
a proper and legal transfer of the property may be made to Diocesan Mis-
sions. This transfer will be done as soon as possible. It is proposed to
coniluct the work here in connection with the work at Belle Harbor and

Proceedings of the Forty-Arst Convention. 91

The Second Day,

hcse two Missions will be placed in care of a Priest or a student of the
Seminary, as Lay Reader, under the supervision of the Archdeacon. To
idapt the church at Arverne to the services of the Church, some $500 will
)c needed. How this will be provided remains to be seen. First, I think
[ will have to look to the Archdeaconry to aid it by an appropriation of
jome $200 until such time as the congregation, which will have been gath-
n'ed this Summer, shall be able to assume some part of this financial
jbligation, and to meet this emergency I would recommend that the Arch-
deaconry authorize the Executive Committee to make such an appropri-
ition for the tie work here during the coming Summer as may seem in their
judgment to be right and proper. We need have no fear of the wisdom
3f the step thus taken, because there is a population of four himdred Gen-
tiles to whom the Church may minister. Who can tell but what some
Hebrew, through this Mission, may be led to the Messiah, The Christ ?

We must now turn our attention to the consideration of the Church
Work at L>ong Beach. It is already known to you. I think, that the title
of the Long Beach property has passed to a real estate company known as
the Long Beach Estates. Along with this property has also gone the title
to the property known as Grace Chapel. For many years past this Arch-
deaconry has cared for the Summer services here and maintained them
during the season. In connection with the work at Lynbrook, the Arch-
deacon and the Rev. P. C. Creveling have interviewed Senator Reynolds,
the President of the Long Beach Estates, and requested that the Church
property be turned over to the Archdeaconry, as had been planned for
some years past. Assurance has been given us that the present church
will be given us outright. Land situated on a corner, near to the new
botel to be erected, in a desirable section of the coming Atlantic City of
Long Island, 100 x 100 feet, will be sold to us for $3,500, one-half of what
it would ordinarily cost We have also the promise from the President of
the Long Beach Estates, of a liberal contribution toward the purchase of
such land, and to which the present church building can be moved. For
the present the church will remain in our care as it is, and this coming
Summer will be ministered to by the Rev. Mr. Creveling in connection
"^ith Christ Church, Lynbrook. It also gives me pleasure to report that
•here has come an offer from the new Real Estate Development between
^rden City and Floral Park, known as the Garden Cities Estates, to
donate land, 150 x 150, for Church purposes. At the earnest request of
he Bishop of the Diocese, your Archdeacon recently interviewed Mr. Gage
^ Tarbell, the President of the Garden City Estates, as to when this
^ight be done. Assurance? has been given us by Mr. Tarbell that such
donation of land will be made as soon as the Directors of the Company
^n act thereon. The Bishop and the Archdeacon have seriously and
^rnestly considered the advisability of accepting such an offer, because of

thus far without a mortgage and the people be left free to collect the

money to build the remaining part of the church in the not distant future.

^ I trust that this will meet with the approval of the Archdeaconry. The

? Rev. Wm. A. Webb has faithfully ministered here since the resignation

* of the R'ev. Mr. Mott, which occurred in October last.

; Last February your Archdeacon was invited by the Rev. Mr. Crevel-

ing, of Lynbrook, to go with him to a, meeting of the residents of Rose-

^ dale, a new community between Springfield and Valley Stream. Much to

our surprise on- a stormy night fifty-four people met at the Real Elstate

Office of Mr. MacCormick. Previous to this meeting, some few weeks

before, a petition signed by the people of Rosedale had been sent to the

Rev. Mr. Creveling, asking him to come and hold services for them.

-^ ^ He has done so now for the past three months in private houses with

t encouraging results. The Archdeacon on the occasion of his visit held a

. business meeting when Committees were appointed to select a proper site

J for a future church, and also to secure contributions to the erection of

A such building. That evening more than $300 was subscribed by those

^1 present. With the cordial approval of the Rector, Wardens and Vestry-

» men of Grace Church, Jamaica, within whose boundaries Rosedale is

-^' situated, this Mission has been established and the Rev. Mr. Creveling

.: proposes to minister to them on Sunday afternoons, and I hereby ask the

. J Archdeaconry's approval of the Executive Committee's appropriation of

I $180 per annum for the support of this work. We are the first on the

.J field and we must not let our opportunity pass, hence the urgency of this

action.

The work in our Mission of St. Michael's and All Angels, Seaford,
is in a most excellent condition under the loving ministration of its
Priest-in-charge, the Rev. J. H. W. Fortescue-Cole. Since July ist,
patiently and conscientiously has he labored among these people. In
times of sickness and sorrow, and in the face of biting poverty, he has
stood at his post and shared with his people the small stipend of $520,
which he receives. The experience of the past ten months shows it is
impossible for him and his family to live on this small stipend and meet
the other demands made upon him. I earnestly ask that the Archdeaconry
appropriate out of its Sustentation Fund $100 to be added to this stipend,
and at the same time ask the Parish Missionary Committees to donate
another $100 so that the stipend will be at least a livable one. I assure
the Archdeaconry, in view of the donation to our Mission at this point,
^0 better or more advisable appropriation could be made. It will
strengthen and cheer the Missionary's heart, because it gives him evidence
of our confidence and loyalty to him in this most difficult work.

In conclusion your Archdeacon is profoundly impressed with the
^ny and great opportunities that are opening out for us.

The Second Day.

It being the hour of noon, the President requested the Con-
vention to join in prayer for Missions.

The Rev. Dr. Wrigley presented the following report of the
Committee on Canons :

"The Committee would report, that in its judgment, the object of
the proposed amendment to Canon 27, offered at th^ last Convention,
would be attained by changing the canon as it now stands so as to read :
'These Canons may be altered, or new canons may be added, at the
Annual Convention, after one day's notice, by the vote of two-thirds of
the members present'."

Resolved, that this change be adopted. Carried.

The Committee on Canons, to whom was referred the pro-
posed amendment of Canon 22, Article 2, Section 3, reported as
follows :

That it conflicts with the State laws governing the election of Vestries
and that it would be useless to pass it

They offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Amendments shall not be adopted.
Carried.

Col. Cogswell, for the Committee on Canons, moved that the
adoption of the Constitution as approved last year be brought
before the Convention. Carried.

Col. Cogswell then moved that the Constitution be approved
by a vote by orders. Carried.

The vote by orders was then taken, and unanimous approval
given to the Constitution.

The Rev. Dr. Spencer S. Roche then called up the question
of the permissive use of the Revised Version which had been
made the order of the Second Day at noon.

A vote by orders was then called for on the question of
memorializing the General Convention to permit the use of the
Revised Version in the Reading of the Lessons at Daily Morning
and Evening Prayer.

The President declared the resolution lost.

The Secretary then announced the result of the first ballot
for members of the Standing Committee.

Alex. E. Orr had been elected for the term of four year, and that
the Hon. Tbwnsend Scudder had been elected for the term of

for two years.

The Rev. Dr. Spencer S. Roche, Mr. A. A. Low and CoL
Cogswell withdrew from the ballot of members of the Standing
Committee.

The Rev. Mr. Wright presented the Report of the Fund for
the Families of Deceased Clergymen.

OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE FUND FOR THE FAMILIES OF
DECEASED CLERGYMEN OF THE DIOCESE
OF LONG ISLAND.

The Trustees of the Fund for the Families of Deceased Qcrgymai
of the Diocese of Long Island beg leave to report that they prepared and
presented to the Legislature of the State of New York, at its recent
session, an act of incorporation which received the affirmative action of
that Body, and became a law on the i8th day of February ultimo, by the
approval of the Governor. This act is known on the Statute Books as
Chapter i6 of the Laws of 1907, and it gives the Trustees full power,
subject to the supervision of the Convention, with liberty to hold real and
personal estate, with income not exceeding $20,ooaoo per annum.

Under the provisions of the statute the Trustees have organized and
held two sessions and voted several appropriations to families of Deceased
Gergj-men of this Diocese.

The Trustees further report that they have received contributions
from 69 Parishes, which (together with a number of gifts from indi-
viduals) and accruing interest, amount to $1,678.95, of which $14990 is,
by the terms of the gift, set aside as a permanent invested fund, leaving
the sum of $1,529.05 applicable to immediate needs, throughout the year.

Besides this they have received $246.66, being the whole property of
the Widows* and Orphans' Fund, and $212.32, being the whole property
of the ClergN-men's Family Fund. Both these funds have thus wound up
their affairs and passed out of existence, so that no more money will be
received from them.

The Trustees earnestly hope that a larger sum will be contributed
by the Churches to this Fund during the ensuing year. The need of the
Fund may be seen by comparing the amount received this year for the
Families of Deceased Clergymen with the amount received for the Aged
and Infirm Clergy Fund in 1870 when that fund was first established.
The amount contributed then was $1,734-85; the amount which we received
was $1,678.95. The comparison is striking when we consider the fact

at this fund was substituted for that one as a canonical requirement,
ir ability to increase the collection is shown by the fact that our con-
butions last year were less than in 1870, although our congregfations
e nearly twice as numerous and our Diocesan income more than four
aes as great. It is desirable not only that Parishes which contributed

this fund last year should increase their gifts, but also that the Parishes
lich failed to contribute last year should hereafter make annual collec-
}ns. This is important because the Canon makes such contributions
•ligatory upon all, and because both justice and kindness urge upon us
e claims of the needy and afflicted families of the clergy of our Diocese,
id because furthermore every dollar of surplus which we can now
cumulate is an investment for the future, the accruing interest of which
ch y^ar will be added to the Fund, and so hasten the day when it will
: no longer necessary to make annual contributions from all the parishes
•mpulsory. That day has already come, in regard to the Fund for the
ged and Infirm Clergymen. It will come in regard to the Fund for
e Families of Deceased Clergymen if our contributions to this Fund are

generous as they used to be to that one. A contribution was received
om St. Andrew's Church, Brooklyn, after this report was written.

Appended to this report is a copy of the act of incorporation, and
le report of the Treasurer of the Fund, all of which is respectfully
ibmitted.

rederick Sheldon Parker, Treasurer, in account with the Fund for the
Families af Deceased Clergymen of the Protestant Episcopal Church
in the Diocese of Long Island.

Htpmt

OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE CHURCH CHARITY FOUNDA-
TION AND OTHER CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS.

Of the five institutions reporting last year, one has disappeared from
he list, vis., the Trained Christian Helpers.

The Church Charity Foundation represents a number of departments
'f benevolent work of which this diocese may well be proud. And yet
'lere is a failure on the part of many Churches in the Diocese to appre-
iate, and to discharge the obligation of loyal support that rests upon
/ery congregation. The amount of contributions received from this
>urce has been steadily falling off for the past three years. In 1904,
inety-five congregations gave $12,058.91; in 1905, ninety congregations
ave $9,176.22; in 1906, seventy-four congregations gave $6,258.08. That
, the amount received last year from the congregations of the Diocese
as only a little more than half as much as was given three years ago.
ut in spite of this neglect, the institutions on the Foundation have pros-
ered. The income for the past year exceeded the expenses by $326.69.
omeone may be inclined to ask, why then should the churches make any
>ecial effort. It is becinse the institutions need many things beyond the
lere running expenses. Many repairs to the various buildings are
eeded — repairs which cannot with wisdom be longer neglected. In addi-
lon to this pressing need, a Nurses' Home must be provided in the near
uture. The present quarters for the nurses are in every way inadequate.

I04 Diocese of Long Island,

The Second Day.

Such a building as must soon be provided for this purpose will cost
between $30,000 and $40,000.

The endowment fund has been increased by some recent legacies and
now amounts to about $400,500.00.

The House of St. Giles the Cripple shows every evidence of good
management, as well as of continued efficiency in its chosen field of work.
It closes the year with a balance in its treasury, after paying all expenses
of maintenance as well as $1,900.00 on its debt account. The House has
received bequests in the past year amounting to $15,000.00. This amount
has been invested in 5 per cent mortgage bonds. The assets of the
institution now amount to $39,568.00. Within the past year, 113 patients
have been received at the House of St. Giles. Of these, 3 died and 30
were discharged as cured or improved. The present number of inmates
is 77-

The Sheltering Arms Nursery continue? its quiet, unostentatious and
beneficent life. The past year was marked by no extraordinary event, but
the physicians have found the year a trying one because of the unusual
number of very delicate babies committed to the care of the Nursery,
and because of an epidemic of measles which involved twenty cases. One
hundred and thirty-nine children have been cared for. Of this number 19
died and 67 were discharged, leaving 53 still under the care of the institu-
tion. A member of the Board of Trustees has offered to erect a hospital,
or infirmary, for the Nursery. This very acceptable gift will answer a
need that has long been felt. It will be a thoroughly fireproof building,
and will be connected with the Nursery by bridges. The infirmary will be
built within the next few months.

St. Phebe's Mission is a Church settlement. Its activities embrace
visits of mercy to hospitals, almshouses and jails. It offers a shelter for
convalescents, discharged from hospitals and still unable to take up work.
It conducts a kindergarten, a kitchengarten, industrial classes for boys
and girls, clubs for girls, meetings for mothers, a library, a branch of the
Penny Provident Fund, and a summer vacation home. Within the past
year 19,284 people have come to the house to the various classes, i486
calls were made on the sick and poor, and 75 convalescent patients were
entertained. The work of St. Phebe's Mission has never been in a more
hopeful condition than it is at this time.

The Secretary announced the result of the first ballot for
Deputies to the General Convention:

The President declared that the following laymen had been
elected: Mr. Henry E. Pierrepont and Mr. P. R. Jennings, and
ordered another election, two Lay Delegates and four Clerical
Delegates still to be chosen.

SEMINARY.

:v. CHARLES A. Jessup. Mr. Isaac Simonson.

Mr. J. F. Halsted.

HE COMMITTEE ON THE GENERAL THEOLOGICAL SEMI-
NARY RESPECTFULLY REPORTS:

That this institution continues to be the leading Seminary of the
hurch in the United States, and that it is frequently called the largest
istitution devoted solely to theological education in the Anglican corn-
union.

As in the days of the late Dean Hoffman, the Seminary still refrains
om favoring any particular style of churchmanship. At the annual
nner of the Alumni Association the present Dean, the Very .Rev.
'^ilford L. Robbins, D.D., LL.D., reiterated his determination to continue
is policy.

He, too, desires to make the Seminary the general Seminary of the
lurch and not an institution controlled by or favoring the Broad Church
rty. the High Church party, or any other group within the Church.

The catalogue shows thirty-six names in the graduating class. This
the largest class since 1900, and is the largest class to finish the course
ce Dean Robbins entered upon his duties.

The catalogue for 1906- 1907 shows that 126 students were enrolled
the time of publication. These were classified as follows :

Fellows 5

General students 8

Senior class (including 3 special students) . . 39

Middle class (including 2 special students) . 41

The President announced that balloting for members of the
Standing Committee and of Deputies to the General Contotion
should proceed.

The Rev. William S. Chase presented the Report of the Social
Service Committee.

HtfOtt

OF THE SCXriAL SERVICE COMMITTEE,

MAY, 1906, TO MAY. 1907.

Since the last report the Committee has held three meetings. A Con-
stitution and a set of By-Laws have been adopted for seven sub-sections,
as follows:

1. Sunday Observance.

2. Moral Recovery, dealing with probation and other rescue work.

3. The Family, dealing with marriage and divorce, and the housing 01
the poor.

4. The Slate, dealing with legislation, law enforcement and political
reform,

5. Industrial, dealing with labor and capital, commercial ethics, and
employment agencies.

6. \*ice, dealing with intemperance, social purity, and gambling, and
substitutes for the saloon and social amusements for the people.

7. Interdenominational Relations, dealing with the problem of Chris-
tian unity, and cc^- operation in works of charity.

This arrangement seems to cover the field of inquiry alloted to the
Committee by order of this Convention.

The matters referred to your Committee by action of the last Diocesan
Convention have been allowed to appropriate sub-sections, as follows:

The Sunday question to the Section on Sunday Observance.

Probation work to the Section on Moral Recovery.

Marriage and Divorce to the Section on Family.

Proceedings of the Forty-first Convention. 107

The Second Day.

Fraternal Representation in the Brooklyn Central Labor Union to the
lustrial Section.
Law Enforcement to the Section on the State.

Sunday Observance.

Enquiries have been started among the managers of the various street
roads of Greater New York as to whether any provision is being made

securing to their employees twenty-four hours of consecutive rest in
h week. No definite results have so far been obtained, but the end
lot yet.

Probation Work.

The work of the Court Probation Officer has proved to be very valu-
er but the Committee has not been able to contribute towards has salary
cc March. It is hoped, however, that the very great need and advan-
es of such work have been made so evident that the Board of Esti-
te will provide a salary for his permanent maintenance.

Labor and the Church.

Our fraternal delegate to the Brooklyn Central Labor Union has kept
in touch with the labpr problem. His presence in that conference,
>resenting seventy thotisand workers, is a visible proof of the interest
the Church in the cause of organized labor. His presence there shows
It this Diocese believes, in the words of the Commission of the General
nvention, that "the organization of labor is essential to the well-being
the working people." Our delegate reports to the Committee that he
ch the members of the Union more kindly disposed to the Church than
■y have been for years. It is the opinion of the workingman that the
urch of the Carpenter of Nazareth is closer to the carpenters and
rkers of to-day than it has been for a generation. It is the opinion
our delegate that if every clergyman will form a similar relationship
-h some local union, and will express in his public speaking an interest
labor and an intelligent sympathy with its problems and efforts, the
f between the Church and the toilers will cease to exist. In the
erest of public education along this line. Labor and the Church held a
ss meeting on December 16, 1906. Bishop Potter spoke for the Church"*,
::>£. Fagani for the Presbyterian Social Service Committee, and the
?sident of the Massachusetts Federation of Labor.

The meeting was held in the Central Branch of the Brooklyn
M. C. A. under the auspices of the Presbyterian Social Service Com-
tee, the Central Labor Union, the Y. M. C. A., and our own Committee.

The Second Day.

The proposed purchase of the Rockaway Beach by the city of New
York as a Park Seaside Resort for the people was discussed, and, although
this Committee refrained from expressing a formal opinion on the scheme,
the members, because of the discussion, feel ready for action should it be
required.

Christianity and the State.

One of the members of the Committee was of effective service in
replying to the request of a Hebrew Association made to the Board of
Education of Greater New York, that every Christian song, picture or
allusion to the birth, life and teachings of Christ be taken from the
public schools, and in convincing the Board that while the State of New
York has no established Church, its Constitution and statutes, as well as
the common law, do recognize Christianity to be the established religion,
as is indicated by the laws requiring the observance of Sunday and by
the provision that selections from both the Old and New Testament be
read in the public schools.

The Committee desires to commend to the favorable consideration of
the members of the Convention, the reform in the primary meeting laws,
which have been for some time in operation in the States of Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Massachusetts, providing for what is known as Direct
Nomination of party candidates for political office. It provides for a
primary election, lasting all day, some weeks before the regular election
day, at which, during the whole day, members of the various parties have
a chance to vote upon the list of candidates, which have been nominated
by the petition of a small number of voters. It reduces the power of
party managers by requiring the nomination of such party candidates as
will secure the endorsement of a larger number of the members of each
party than usually attend the party primary meetings. As the political
managers will be slow to approve of this proposed reduction of their
power, it will be necessary to arouse a strong public demand for this
most fundamental reform before it will be adopted by the legislature of
the State of New York. It is recommended as the most hopeful method
of restoring political power to the people.

For reasons given in last year's report, the Committee request the
passage of a resolution upon the subject of gambling.

On the whole, the year's work has been encouraging. The Committee
is slowly but surely finding itself, and it is believed that another year will
show still better results. It is not an easy matter for such a Committee
as this, with no precedents before it, to discern just what its first duties
are or just what its line of action should be in taking up entirely new
enterprises. So far, we have confined ourselves mainly to discovering
what the relations are between this Diocese as a whole and the community

of which it forms a part. In seeking information from the great organi-
zations of labor, of capital, of recreation, etc., such as the Central Labor
Union, the railroads, the American Automobile Association; the Actors'
Alliance, etc., we have seldom met with rebu£Fs. There is occasional sur-
prise that the Diocese is so practically interested, but the feeling is almost
always friendly.

We are convinced that such action as we are instructed by the Con-
vention to take for the betterment of social conditions has a large influence
in moulding public sentiment and that it preaches sermons to which tlie
public mind will listen more quickly and with greater respect than to the
utterances of individual pulpits. Public offenders and some officials who
are drawing salaries to protect and advance the public welfare, but who
are in reality in league with the enemies of the common weal, are not
alarmed when individual preachers raise the cry of protest, but when they
find a great Diocese like ours is denouncing the wrong and has authorized
a committee to co-operate with others to correct the evil, they are awed
into a respect for the Church and perhaps led to recognize the evil of acts
which they may have honestly thought were indorsed by public sentiment

It is already apparent that this Committee will eventually become a
valuable bureau of information to which Rectors and Vestries may come
for knowledge it would be otherwise very difficult to secure. Your Com-
mittee feels strongly its responsibility to this Convention. It has never
taken an action overstepping the authority delegated to it by this body,
nor will it ever do so. It appeals again for the continued and increasing
confidence of the Diocese of Long Island, whose servant it is, for without
such confidence it can do nothing.

We recommend the adoption of the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Social Service Committee be authorized to take
such action as shall seem wise to restrict child labor.

Resolved, That the Social Service Committee be authorized to co-oper-
ate with other similar bodies and to memorialize the Legislature to secure
the repeal of those laws which since 1895 have practically nullified the

pool selling or bookmaking anywhere within the State.

In behalf of the Committee,

and which was charged with the duty of rendering some expression with
reference to a memorial presented to the General Convention of 1904 ^
Church Workers 'among the Colored People, and also concerning a pro-
posed Canon "On Special Missionary Bishops," would respectfully report:

Ansv/ering the three questions submitted by the Sub-Committee of
the General Convention, the Bishop of Louisiana, Chairman, we believe
that the present organization of our Church is inadequate for the work
of evangelizing the colored people, in view of the fact that our member-
ship among these people is but one-tenth of what our membership among
the whites is.

Secondly, the Canon as proposed "On Special Missionary Bishops" we
deem insufficient in view of the general opinion that constitutional as weD
as canonical alterations will have to be made; and

Proceedings of the Forty-first Convention. 113

The Second Day.

Thirdly, your Committee would suggest for adoption as the sense of
e Diocese, the proposed alterations in the Constitution and Canons of
e Church which are subjoined to this report.

It is clear that the colored people must worship by themselves. They
emselves prefer it. In Charleston some time ago a member of your
ommittee saw a great white congregation in a fashionable church go to
le Lord's Table, and after they had retired, one poor old mammy in the
;at dress that represented the fashion of a generation before, arose in
c last pew and went alone to the rail. The negro people will not as a
lie adopt any such course. They will not be tolerated hangers-on in the
ck pews or galleries of the white congregations. They will worship in
eir own congregations.

What the colored congregation desire, the white congregation con-
ic to be necessary. Experience shows that nobody objects to the pres-
ce of one or two negroes, but that practically all bodies of white people
object to the presence of a considerable number of negroes. As with
i governor of a steam engine, when the pressure rises beyond a certain
tnt, the mechanism shuts down, often with a good deal of noise. What
ppens in the white congregations, has happened in the white Diocesan
nvention. There was no difficulty in the Southern Diocese when one or

0 negro clergymen and three or four negro lay deputies had seats in
ocesan conventions. As a hopeless minority they were not unwelcome,
t as their numbers increased and their voting power increased, it began

be felt that such colored vote could very easily be cast on one side
the other, so holding the balance of power, and in an important matter,
for example the election of a Bishop, determining the result.

Bishop Boyd Vincent calls attention to Rome's seeing "good reasons
f such a step and temporary provision as race Bishop."

"It quiets the question of jurisdiction by subordinating it to the
rger interest. If it has no precedent, it dares to create one. Why should
e not do the same?"

In the case of Polish Roman Catholics who had long importuned
ome for a representative in the heirarchy in the United States, it was
»r a time adjudged impracticable to send a Bishop with jurisdiction over
iople of another Diocese. A way, however, has been found out of the
ifficulty. Archbishop Weber, Metropolitan of the ProviYice of Lemberg
t Galicia, having resigned his see, the Pope has sent him to America

1 a Missionary Bishop and Polish representative among the American
ishops. He will have no particular see, no episcopal jurisdiction what-
^er, but he will act as a quasi coadjutor assisting the various other
ishops, ordaining, confirming, dedicating churches, etc., and having his
-adquarters in Cincinnati or Chicago, so that the Poles in America will

have a native Polish Archbishop to preach to them in their own tongue,
to counsel them out of a full knowledge of the people, and among the
Bishops and in every other quarter, to champion their cause.

It should not escape the mind of the Church that her interests have
been nobly served by some negro Bishops. There is Bishop Ferguson, of
Cape Palmas, West Africa, whose addresses at General Convention have
made so favorable an impression, and who is generally considered a
discreet and able man. The case of Bishop Holly, of Hayti, must not be
forgotten.

In England, where we should regard ecclesiastical order as more con-
servative than with us, you have the remarkable instance offered by Bish(^
Crowther, of whom Bishop Whipple declares in his autobiography that at
the Lambeth Conference of 1888, he was one of the most interesting char-
acters. As a boy Crowther had been rescued from a slave ship, educated
in Christian schools, made deacon, then priest, and in 1864 was coDS^
crated Bishop. While serving as missionary at Sierra Leone, he found
his own mother, and by the blessing of God led her from heathen dark-
ness to the light of Jesus Christ. This man was deemed worthy of honor
by the universities and by the Church in England. Bishop Whipple said
that the peace of God was seen in his face and that his broken speech
always rang true to Gospel standards. Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island
("Reminiscences," p. 165), also pays tribute to the deserved esteem m
which Bishop Crowther was held by the English Church.

One of the chief obstacles to the consecration of negro Bishops to
serve among their own people in the United States, arises from a preju-
dice that is unworthy of a place in hearts regenerated by the Lord Jesus
Christ. Dr. Carl Grammer has nobly said that we ought to stop dwelling
on the limitations and demerits of the negro, both for his sake and our
own, and fix our eyes upon his excellencies and our own obligations.

Suppose that we thought of all nations and of our own white race
according to the criminal tendencies and acts of one in a million! Weak
morally as the black man may indeed be, divorced as much of his religion
may be from morality, in these things we are to note simply the strong
call that he himself in his need makes upon us to come and help him
May the Church of the twentieth century be divinely guarded from prejtH
dice against Africans! The attentive reader of the Book of the Acts of
the Apostles cannot overlook the fact that in the very opening of the
Christian era, the Holy Spirit of God directed in peculiarly impressive
ways the minds of the Apostles to Africans. The Gift of Tongues poured
the knowledge of Christ before the people from "the parts of Libya about
Cyrene." But a short time after this, St. Philip received a direct covanai-
sion from the Holy Ghost to instruct and baptize the Ethiopian Eunach,
and so to enable him to evangelize his nation.

The Second Day.

And yet when we consider that near two thousand years have passed,
le result is mournfully disappointing, even though we set in the best
ght both the primitive and the recent activities of the Christian Church
I the vast continent of Africa. It is impossible to resist the conviction
lat the Gospel has not been proffered to Africa with the same alacrity
id enthusiasm that China and India, for example, have witnessed —
npossible to shut out the truth that Christian apathy and Christian
rejudice have hindered the fulfilment of the ancient prediction that Ethi-
pia, the Morians* land, Cush, "shall soon stretch out her hands unto
od."

We have a great opportunity. There is and has been no period of
rained relations between our Episcopal Church and several thousands
f these colored people. They rely on us ; they appeal to us. There is no
ign on the part of these black Christians of a desire to set off a schis-
latical body. What they desire is just what we desired for nigh two
undred years, the power to carry on the Church with full faculties, the
ower to propagate the same among their own people, as this Church hath
sceived doctrine, discipline and worship. They should have the power
) confirm, to examine, to ordain, to consecrate, to form and to summon
nnferences and conventions.

In conclusion, your Committee submits the following resolution:

Resolved, That the Diocese of Long Island memorialize the General
Tonvention to amend the Constitution and Canons so that Missionary
Bishops may be consecrated to have jurisdiction over specific races, and
would suggest the following amendments to the Constitution and Canons :

CONSTITUTION, ARTICXE VI.

The House of Bishops may establish Missionary Districts upon racial
lines, i.^.^ for a specified race or races, within the bounds of Dioceses and
Missionary Districts established or authorized in Section i, either severally
or in such groups as it may determine, provided that in the case of a
Diocese such racial jurisdiction within the Diocesan borders shall be first
ceded by the Bishop and the Convention of the Diocese.

In the interpretation of the Constitution and Canons the people and
churches of such racial Missionary Districts shall be considered as terri-
torially outside of their former Dioceses or Missionary Districts and in a
region of their own in the same geographical position, and shall occupy
tbe same relation to the General Convention as any other Domestic Mis-
sionary District.

No such cession by a Diocese, or division of a Missionary District,
however, shall carry with it the members of the ceded race, who may be
or become members of congregations not included in such Missionary
f^istricts.

The Second Day,

The House of Bishops may from time to time change, increase or
diminish the territory included in such racial Missionary Districts in such
manner as may be prescribed by Canon.

Such racial jurisdiction within the borders of any Diocese may be
retroceded to the Diocese by the House of Bishops, if the Bishop and
Convention of such Diocese shall consent to receive it

Section i. The House of Bishops may establish Missionary Districts
in States or Territories, or parts thereof, not organized into Dioceses,
or in territory beyond the United States not under the charge of Bishops
in communion with this Church. It may also establish Missionary Dis-
tricts upon racial lines, i.e., for a specified race or races, within the bounds
of Dioceses or Missionary Districts, either severally or in such groupings
as it may determine, provided that in the case of a Diocese such racial
jurisdiction within the Diocesan borders shall be first ceded by the Bishop
and the Convention of the Diocese.

Section i. Missionary Bishops shall exercise jurisdiction in States

APPENDIX A

THE BISHOP'S ANNUAL ADDRESS TO THE
CONVENTION

Delivered May 21, 1906.

It is my privilege to address you, the honored members of
his, the Forty-first Convention of the Diocese of Long
sland. During the past year, I have made 103 visitations for
x>nfirmation and have confirmed 181 7 persons. I have ordained
wo Deacons to the Priesthood. I have deposed one man from
he Priesthood. I have consecrated five Churches in the Diocese :
m St Michael and All Angels' Day, September 29th, the
if emorial Church of the Transfiguration, built in memory of the
irst Bishop of Long Island; on the XIX Sunday after Trinity,
Dctober 21st, St. Augustine's Church, Brooklyn; on St. Thomas's
Day, December 21st, St. Thomas's Church, Farmingdale; on
Epiphany, January 6th, St. George's Church, Brooklyn, and on
Friday, March 22d, the new Memorial Church, Trinity Church,
Roslyn. The detailed acts of the year will be printed in the
Journal.

It may surprise you if I say that there is a peculiar fascina-
ioti for me about old Convention Journals. I will acknowledge
^at in old times I shrank from them as duller than legal parch-
ments or Congressional records. But a complete set — and that
becoming rare — is worth having. If you are not pressed for
Ti€, I assure you that you can have a jpleasant afternoon search-
er, without much help from any index, through the many
>l\ames for some record or statistics. If time is precious, the
^^sure will be turned into exasperation. The names, some of
i^m well known, call up a past which is full of interest. The
^rious reports, some of them apparently growing more tinted

122 The Annual Address

and rose-colored as the institutions they report get deeper into
difficulties, have a more than antiquarian charm ; every now and
then some canon seems to come boldly out, like the Regicide at
Hadley, to battle against the enemy, but immediately after the
contest, shrinks back into obscuritj- or oblivion at the end of the
volume, never to be disturbed again until some committee or
distracted officers tr>' to coax it out to fight in their behalf. But
for me, I confess, the Bishop's addresses have a charm which is
all their o^^ti. Mr. Morley in his life of Gladstone says, "A
political speech, like the manna in the wilderness, loses its savour
on the second day." That may be true, also, of sermons, but
for me these Episcopal charges still have a taste after all these
years. The same subjects recur with periodic regularity: "The
Family," "Divorce," the "Sisterhoods," "Religious Education
in the Schools," the **Church Charit>' Foundation," each of these
has appeared, like the comet, just about the time we expect it
and has been able to fix the attention of Churchmen.

No topic appears with greater regularity than thcT Cathedral.-
It is evident that it has been an interest to the Bishops if not tc^
the Diocese, and I make no further apology for asking you t(^»-
consider it now. Five years ago, I said that if my Episcopat^^
should last twenty years, it was my opinion that at the end of tha^^
time, the fate of this g^eat work here at Garden City would b^^
decided for good or evil. One quarter of that time has gone bjr ^
and it is right that I should give you some report.

Financially the record has not been altogether discouraging^-
I should like here to pay a tribute to the man who through al— ^
the years of its existence has watched over the treasury of th^^^
Cathedral. To his wise intervention is due the fact that it^"^
endowment is as large as it is. For some time he was the soL ^
trustee of one large gift from Judge Hilton, and his judicioii^ ^
investments and discretion saved the fimds from material los^^-
Few outside of the Chapter have known of the time and car~^
which have been given by him to this corporation, and when tlm ^
history of the Cathedral is written, Alexander E. Orr will t^^
named among its staunchest and ablest friends. During thes*

good repair, and its regular expenses, even with the deficits
>m the Schools included, have not greatly, if at all, exceeded

income. There have been, however, two large expenditures
- construction which have been charged to the principal
rount. In the winter of 1904, the unpleasant discovery was
Lcie that the power house plant was in bad condition. The
rnaces had been required to do more than they ought and the
ilers were out of repair. The pipes were in ditches which had in
my places collapsed, and the steam had to be forced through
>€s sometimes submerged in snow add water. The chimney
IS blown down in a storm, and the expense of heating and light-
? our buildings became so great that serious deficits in our
:onie were the result. To make suitable tunnels for our pipes,

build a substantial and permanent chimney and to put our
ilers in proper condition, we were obliged to spend $45,000.
lis large sum had to be deducted from the funds of the Cathe-
il, but the saving of from $4,000 to $6,000 each year since
'n has justified the expenditure.

Another blow came upon us in the fall of 1905. It was dis-
•^ered that the beautiful spire of the Cathedral had been con-
ucted on wrong principles and that the huge stones on the
bles were in actual danger of falling. We had the advice of
e of the best firms in New York City, and under the superin-
idence of our architect, the Chapter went to work to save the
ver and spire from ruin. This work proved to be far more
pensive than was anticipated, and it has at last been completed
a cost of about $30,000. It has' been carefully examined and
"lared by an independent and undoubted authority to be now in
f f ect repair. The rest of the Cathedral needs this same careful,
fiscientious rebuiling — I cannot call it restoration — and I am in
Pes that among the generous laity of the Diocese there will

found some who will offer to do this work and also to restore
r organs and endow them.

The Cathedral Chapter believes that its own chief duty lies
vard the Diocesan Schools which have been placed directly
der its care, and that the surplus income of the Corporation
ould be carefully guarded so as to maintain these Schools in

124 The Annual Address

first-class condition. During the twenty years of their existence,
St. Paul's School has received $175,000 in deficits paid out of
the income of the Cathedral, and St. Mary's School, $90,ooa
Besides these large sums, much has been expended from the
principal for construction work. During next year an important
change will be made in St. Paul's School. Dr. Frederick L
Gamage, who has been head master for fourteen years, and dur-
ing whose term of office the School has advanced, resigned in
April, and his office will be taken by Mr. Walter R. Marsh, at
present head master of Pingry School, Elizabeth, N. J. The
Chapter is seeking to carry out the intentions of the trust and
to maintain, here in Garden City, Schools which, if not perfect,
shall be places where the boys and girls will be surrounded by
the same influence and protection, and by the same care which
they would find in a Christian home.

St. Paul's School is to be a place where boys are conscien-
tiously and carefully prepared for college and for business, and
the Chapter feels sure that the public will support this under-
taking to maintain a school which shall take rank among the
foremost schools of the country. I know that I can appeal with
confidence to the Clergy and Laity of this Diocese to give their
cordial sympathy to this endeavor to maintain true Church
schools reflecting honor on the Diocese and bestowing a blessing
on the community.

Perhaps the most serious practical problem is connected with
the land, about forty acres of which are almost entirely unutil-
ized. The endowment as originally planned was to be several
millions, but a codicil in Mrs. Stewart's will resulted after years
of litigation in a comparatively meagre amount being realized.
The land itself is so deeded that it cannot be used for revenue,
but only for charitable or religious purposes. There is little
hope that any consensus of the heirs can be secured to release
it from these restrictions except on such terms as would be a
practical sacrifice of the property. It seems to me that it is now
high time that the Diocese should forget the past, and reflect that
it has here in Garden City a wonderful instrument for good. It
is for the people of the Diocese now not only to endow the present

lore generously, but to build and endow other institutions
igious and educational character, and so to place the work .
firmest foundation. We cannot accept any more buildings
endowments go with the gifts. But I believe in the future
Diocese and that through legacies and gifts we may be
do an even nobler work for Christ. The Cathedral

Ordination Vows.

other subject demands my attention. The most solemn
bich a Bishop performs is that of Ordination. A recent
ntitled "Freedom in the Church," has been widely and
>usly circulated among the Clergy. In what I say, I
lot have you think that I charge anyone with intellectual
sty. This is no time to bandy epithets, when the crisis
he Church is the most serious which this generation has
. I only want, to state the truth as I see it, with no lack
ity towards those from whom I differ.

writer has stated his position with no ambiguity or sub-
He points out that at Ordination the candidate acknowl-
is belief that the Holy Scriptures contain all doctrine nec-
o salvation, and his own promise to teach only what he is
ed can be concluded and proved from the Scriptures,
ididate then promises so to minister the Doctrines and
ents and the Discipline of Christ as the Lord hath com-

and as the Church hath received the same according to
imandments of God. The author then goes on to say that

126 Tkr Annual Address

tbese form but ooc vow whose purpose is to elevate Scripture
above tradition. He daims that the individtial is at liberty to use
his own private jndgmeiit in regard to die Creeds of the Church
and that he has perf ormed his dntv though he may deny some of
the "dctais"* of the Creed, provided his own study convinces him
that the>* cannoc be proved by recourse to die Bible. Later in his
book he tells as diat the Creeds should be sung as hymns, not said
as the solemn statement of facts whidi are to be believed as nec-
essary to salvation. What, are we to say, dien, to the claim that
die Creed which is professed by die Church at Bsq>tism, and at
Con6rmation, said at every daily office and solemnly repeated in
die ears of the dying, is to be relegated to the realm of poetry?

There is no doubt that the Church appeals to Scripture for the
warrant to her faith. .\t the time of die Reformation, pressed
as she was by the claims of Rome, she sought to put out of her
Prayer-Boc^ and her ' formularies all that could not be proved
by Holy Scripture. But on the other hand against the individual
private- judgment taught by some of the Protestant sects, she
assened her historic faith and bade her Laity and Qergy alike
to profess it. There were two vows distincdy made. On the
one hand, her Oerg>- were to teach nothing which Scripture did
not contain; and on the other, they were to teach the doctrine
which the Church authorized. It seems hardly conceivable that
anyone could doubt this as he reads over the clearly-worded ques-
tions of the Bishop in the office of the Ordination of Priests.

But let me suppose that some Priest of the Church, having
studied the Scriptures, becomes convinced "that that Creed which
his Church has given him to teach cannot be proved from Scrip-
ture, what course is open to him ? Can he continue in the Church,
merely introducing musical services, and make one of the noblest
arts of man, music, to be the handmaid of his doubts ? The gifted
author tells us that we must not regard the Church as a business
organization. But it is a human society, nevertheless, and the
same allegiance which we owe to our fellow-men we must owe
to the Church of Christ. A vow made at the solemn service of
Ordination cannot be disregarded. For three years the candidate
has studied the Scriptures and the Prayer-book ; he comes to that

To the Convention. 127

service after the most serious admonitions from his Bishop and
careful examination. His allegiance to the doctrine of the Church
is attested by Presbyters, . by Vestry, and by Standing Com-
mittee. He professes himself in accord with that Church's teach-
ing, and his Ordination can be had only when he has signed his
promise of loyalty to her faith.

An analogy occurs to my mind which shows perhaps the true
zourse. In the Nineteenth Century the two great questions
debated in this country were States' Rights and Slavery. States-
men differed on these subjects. Many claimed that they were
denied by the Constitution. Others strongly asserted that they
w^re allowed. At last the war came. Two great men in Virginia
took opposite sides. One was General Robert E. Lee, the other
was General George Henry Thomas. Lee, believing that the
Constitution of the United States recognized the legitimacy of
both these doctrines, took the command of the Southern army.
Thomas, believing that his State was wrong in its interpretation,
left it and joined the Federal side. But what would the world
have said of him if he had remained in the Virginia army wear-
ing her uniform but sympathizing with the Northern forces?
Surely there is no doubt.

The Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of
America teaches as Bible truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of
God, that He was supernaturally born of the Virgin Mary, that
He died upon the Cross and rose again from the dead ; that He
is God of God, Very God of Very God. If a man thinks that He
was bom as other men are, that He is a Son of God as other
men are sons of God, and that the Resurrection from the dead
was a spiritual but not a physical fact, how can he any longer
maintain his place in her Ministry? It may be that his is the
Scriptural doctrine, that in the light of his modern philosophy he
Relieves that the Bible so teaches, but what is he to do with the
:lause "as this Church hath received the same." There are cer-
ain facts that cannot be "interpreted." They must be accepted
>r denied. If the facts of the Church's Creeds can be disproved,
hen the Church's mission is over, and it will be all in vain by
tieans of music and architecture and poetry and rhetoric and

Yoc mill Dodoe. please, that I am not den)ring changing views
and intcrprctaxioiis of great tmdis, which will look different in
different ages and coimtnes. but the facts of those Gospels cannot
be interpreted. They most be either true or false, and their truth
is attested to-day by the Church whidi believes them, and by the
Holy Scriptnres.

The word ''freedom" is a great and glorious word. The
American Church has always extended freedom save where it
touched the essentials of the faith, the Fatheiiiood of God, the
sinlessocss of Christ, the facts of the Creeds. At those she has
drawn the Hne, for more essential than freedom is faith. Her
faith has made her conquer in every age. It is faith which makes
her services glorioas, her worship u{^fting, her missionaries self-
sacrificing, her people pure. Her final trium|di will onne, not
by telling men that her Creeds are beautiful historical documents,
like some illuminated missal painted by some monk long since
dead, or like some ruined abbey still raising here and there its
pointed arch or broken cc^umn, but by convincing all men that
Jesus is the Lord to the glory of the Father. Young men wiD
come in answer to her calL They will give tfieir hearts to a living
faith. They wiU come and plight their vow, believing that they
have a mission to perform, a Gospel to preach, and loving the
Church, whose music is true and holy and inspiring, because it
goes back to the ""Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace
to men of good-wilL" uttered by the angels on the night when the
Sa\nour of the world was bom. That is faith worth dying for.
But a creedless Church could rouse no enthusiasm and produce
no ministry- worth the having.

In all that I have said. I have wished to throw no slight on
the scholars and thinkers of the Church, who are trying to solve
the religious problems of the day. Far be it from me to put one
stumbling-block in the ^-ay of the man who, beset by doubt, nev-
ertheless believes that he can honestly remain in the Church and
contend for the faith once delivered to the saints. But my desire
is to strengthen those who fear lest this dear Church of ours
should yield to a false ciy for liberty and relinquish her hold

To the Convention. 129

all that makes Christianity of vital interest to their souls.
ere is no such danger. No one of these questions of the day is
entially new. Whatever may happen to the Protestant bodies
)ut us, this Church of ours will remain true to the Apostles'
:trine and fellowship and uphold the supernatural origin of
• faith. We are no doubt going through trial. But there is
ich to encourage us. The changing sentiment in regard to
'orce, the desire to see one good, clean law for all the States

the subject of marriage, the attempt, while protecting the
vs of property, to prevent heartless corporations from cruelty
the poor, the struggle after higher standards in politics and
nobler system of education — all show that the preaching of
\ Gospel of Christ has not been in vain. While I have no idle
!am of unity, yet in the end, when philosophy has done her
>t to solve the enigma of life, and philanthropy has discovered
it money cannot eradicate evil, men's hearts will turn with
ititude and love toward the Church which has believed in the
d-Man Jesus Christ, and that through Him, and Him alone,
I salvation come to the nation and to all mankind. The Church
I come into her own at last as the one Power working
acles which ethical societies and human philosophers are
^erless to attempt.

"Our little systems have their day,
They have their day and cease to be ;
They are but broken lights of Thee,
And Thou, O Lord, art more than they."

rears, due to causes that are unknown to us. The same efforts are not now
icing the same results they did In years bygone. This year's financial
Euent is merely the Treasurer's report. There should be added to It about
O.OO. or more, made up of monies in the hands of other treasurers, and
iduni donations to specific objects, which the Church Treasurer was unable
•port when the "Parochial Report" blank was put into his hands. There
>een a gain in attendance at the regular services during the past year.

Vhile the above statistics show that this parish has suffered severely by
»val8, they do not show the full loss, as many who have gone to other parts
le city still have their names on the list of communicants. We are being
d in on one side by the Italians and on the other by the Jews. We wish
scord here the severe loss we sustained by the death of the Rev. William
itch early In January. 1907, and our grateful thanks for the good work he
luring the six years In the parish.

It ha*s been thought best to concentrate our eflforts, for the most part, on
paying off the debt which has burdened the parish for some years, in order that
a much needed church may be erected as soon as possible. We are at present
worshipping in our parish house, which is far too small to accomodate all the
actlTltles which might be undertaken if space permitted. A united effort is
being made by the parishioners to present an offering of at least $500.00 on
St. Alban's Day, June 17th, for that purpose.

Our hearts were made glad last January when the announcement was issued
lat a gentleman of charitable mind, having been impressed with the report of
ir struggles, faith, and successful labors, had purposed to install in our church
large pipe organ. This act of charity, anonymously done, was immediately
jt into effect, and the organ was played, for the first time in our services, on
le morning of Easter Day.

It was through the instrumentality of Mr. Charles E. Moore, one of our
estrymen, that the donation of the organ was made.

The Sinking Fund to liquidate the mortgage debt now amounts to $65.00.
During the course of the next conventional year we hope to increase that sum
considerably. A new vocalion organ has been purchased and will add very
much to the effectiveness of our services. The organ is a donation from the
Vestal Choir. During the summer the Church Building will be painted. Money
for that purpose has been collected by a special committee. A steady all-around
growth gives this Mission a bright outlook.

The Parochial, not financial, reports as to state of parish and official acts,
services, etc., are from July 1, 1906. No records are at hand for May and
June, 1906, as to services held in the Church. But the records of baptism,
confirmation, burials, etc.. are complete and correct. The registration of families,
communicants, etc.. is Incomplete, and these returns are therefore estimated.
The old parish register Is chaotic and the new register is, as yet, necessarily in
complete in these respects.

In September, 1906, a house adjoining the church was booght and put io
thorough repair, to be used as the residence of the priest-in-charge. The par-
chase money was part of a legacy of the late Mrs. Albert Cornell of New York.
This legacy was a personal bequest to Mr. Irving M. Swesey, Treasurer of
Christ Church Mission, to be expended by him for the benefit of the Mission at
his discretion.

In November the erection of an enlarged sanctuary and sacristy was be^o
as a gift of Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Raynor of Brooklyn, in memory of their wn.
Forrest. At the same time a choir-room was built and the basement of the
church cemented and ceiled, out of the surplus of the Cornell legacy. Mr.
Henry C. Tinker, of New York, has contributed one-half the cost of new pews,
the balance being paid for by the remainder of the legacy. Mr. Inrlng M.
Swezey has given handsome choir-stalls with clergy seats. In memory of the late
Mr. Fred E. Raynor, for twelve years a most faithful member of the cbolr.
The Girls' Guild has placed a beautiful credence table as a memorial of the late
Reverend Arthur K. F'enton. formerly priest In charge of the Mission. The
church is newly painted, and the entire church property is in first-class repair.

This church, once prosperous, has had hard luck. A few years ago our
charming lake attracted many summer visitors, who were mainly churchmen or,
at least, attended St. Mary's. Now, nearly every summer visitor Is a Roman
Catholic. The few all-the-year people who belong to us are Intensely loyal and
generous, though not wealthy and live miles away from the church. Both
•church and rectory need reshingling and paint, as a matter of preservation.
But our people cannot afford it. Heretofore it has been impossible for me to
-do any visiting, on account of bad roads and the scattered location of the people.
Now that I have moved from Brentwood to my rectory here, I hope to do a
great deal of visiting, organize the women into some kind of society and revive
the parish.
