It may well be believed that this beginning, stimulating as it is, is but the herald of a still more glorious day. That so much should be accomplished within so short a period by our new Bishop should fill our hearts with thanksgiving and gratitude to the bountiful Giver of all good. The blessed consequences are plainly visible in every quarter of the Diocese. The force of working clergy has increased within less than one year almost one hundred per cent, a marvelous augmentation of power for future good. New rectories, new chapels and Churches seem to be the order of the day. On every side there is life, energy and rapid development. Parishes for long years stagnant have experienced a happy awakening. Where before there was division and weakness, in some instances to the point of paralysis, now there is har- mony and strength. Funds are freely contributed even by isolated Churchmen and Churchwomen long denied the dear

privilege of the services of the Church. The Church is being planted in new places. Large confirmation classes are pre- sented to the Bishop.
All this, under God, is mainly the result of the diligent and tireless labors of the Bishop, and of the Archdeacons pro- vided, appointed and inspired by him. He and they have been unremitting in their journeyings to and fro into every corner of the Diocese, visiting and preaching and laboring, and especially appealing for assistance to help on the Holy Cause of Christ and the Church.
Truly, this is a wonderful record. Heartily may we exclaim, What has God wrought ? Hopefully now may we move on in the good work, putting behind us the dead past and gazing steadfastly into the brightness of the coming years, wherein, with the steady and faithful exertion of the same forces and influences, we may reasonably hope, with the bene- diction of the Father, to enjoy a constantly increasing growth and expansion, until within a very few years, the Church in America will have cause to point with pride to the great work done in Arkansas.

THE MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
This society, being understood to embrace all baptized members of the congregation, has no recognized head, except the Rector. The "Ladies' Aid Society" usually supplied the committees to work under Rev. Wallace Carnahan's direction. Some noble work was done in sending missionary boxes to clergymen in remote districts and donations in currency to feeble parishes within the Diocese.
Later this association, under the Rev. John Gass, took the title of "The Christ Church Branch of the Woman's Auxiliary to the Board of Missions in the Diocese of Arkan- sas." The "Woman's Auxiliary" was organized by Mrs. Twing, honorary secretary, at the instance of the general sec- retaries of the board, the Bishops of the Church, and its own general secretaries of the board's appointment, in New York, January, 1872. The present secretary, Miss Julia C. Emery, entered upon her duties October 1, 1876, and has carried the work steadily on since that time, assisted by her sister, Miss M. T. Emery.
A. D. 1886. The Christ Church Branch of the Woman's Auxiliary in the Diocese of Arkansas was organized May 17, 1886, with the following officers. Rev. John Gass, President ; Mrs. Catherine B. Skipwith, Vice President; Mrs. G. H. Van Etten, Second Vice President ; Mrs. C. S. Cohen, Third Vice President ; Mrs. Rufus J. Polk, Fourth Vice President ; Mrs. W. H. Ragland, Treasurer; Mrs. John Gass, Record- ing Secretary; Miss Matilda Jordan, Corresponding Secretary.
In 1898-99 the officers were Mrs. C. S. Cohen, Vice President ; Mrs. Sue Crease Peay, Second Vice President ; Mrs. Wm. A. Cantrell, Recording Secretary; Miss Matilda Jordan, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. Edgar Holman, Treasurer.
In 1899-1900 the officers were Rev. Geo. Gordon Smeade, President ; Mrs. G. H. Van Etten, Vice President ;

of the Diocese of Arkansas without further ceremony. He had been at his summer home at Galion, Ohio, and when notified of the serious illness of Bishop Pierce immediately set out for Fayetteville, Ark., to attend on him. When there was no hope of recovery and the end was at hand he left Fay- etteville for Little Rock and was ready to receive the funeral cortege when it arrived here at 7:50 p. m., on the 6th of Sep- tember, and take part in the funeral services before narrated. The biography of the latest Bishop will close the series given. It will naturally be shorter than those of his predecessors, as his career has but begun, but it is the sincere hope of the annalist that it will crown all that have gone before with a blessed fruition of their joint labors.
The following summary of Bishop Brown's work is quoted from the Journal of the Twenty-eighth Annual Council of the Diocese of Arkansas :

THE RT. REV. WM. MONTGOMERY BROWN, D. D.
A. D. 1855-1898. The Rt. Rev. Wm. Montgomery Brown, D. D., second Bishop of the Diocese of Arkansas, was born in Wayne County, Ohio, near Orrville, November 6, 1855. His academic studies were pursued in the High School of Cleveland, Ohio, at Seabury Hall, Faribault, Minn., and under private tutors. He studied theology at Bexley Hall, the Theological Seminary of Kenyon College. Was ordered Deacon by Bishop Bedell, June 17, 1883, in Trinity Church, Cleveland, and was placed in charge of Grace Mission, Galion, Ohio. Was advanced to the. Priesthood by the same Bishop on May 22, 1884, in Trinity Church, Toledo, Ohio. He re- mained at Galion, building up that mission, and establishing missions in adjacent places to the number of seven, until 1891, when he became the General Missionary of the Diocese of Ohio, with the title of Archdeacon. In the latter capacity he had, under the Bishop, oversight of all the missionary work in the Diocese, and was largely instrumental in establishing the Church in a great many places and of building twenty-one mission chapels. At the time of his election to the Episco- pate he was also secretary of the Diocesan Missionary Com- mittee and of the Diocesan Board of Trustees, and he was one

of the special lecturers at the Kenyon College Theological Seminary, Bexley Hall. He was elected Bishop-Coadjutor of Arkansas on December 1, 1897, and was consecrated in Trinity Cathedral, Cleveland, June 24, 1898, by Bishops McLaren (Chicago), Seymour (Springfield), Whitehead (Pittsburg), Vincent (Bishop-Coadjutor of Southern Ohio), Leonard (Ohio), Atwill (West Missouri), Hale (Bishop Co- Adjutor of Springfield), and White (Indiana). The appointed consecrators were the Bishops of Chicago, Pitts- burg, and Coadjutor of Southern Ohio. The presenters were the Bishops of Springfield and Ohio, and the preacher the Bishop of West Missouri. The attending Presbyters were the Very Rev. D. I. Hobbs, of Little Rock, and the Rev. Professor Davies, of Gambier. Archdeacon Taylor, of Springfield, Ill., acted as deputy registrar. Bishop Brown received the degree of D. D. from Kenyon College and from the University of the South, 1898. " He is the author of "The Church for Americans," first published in 1896, and now in its tenth edition.
On April 9, 1885, Rev. Wm. Montgomery Brown mar- ried Miss Ella Bradford, the adopted daughter of Mrs. Mary Scranton Bradford, of Cleveland, Ohio. His first charge was in Galion, Ohio, where he still retains his summer home. He moved to Little Rock with his family in November, 1898, where he has since resided.
The Right Rev. Wm. Montgomery Brown, D. D., Bishop of Arkansas, has just issued from the press of Thomas Whit- taker, New York, the tenth edition of his remarkable book, "The Church for Americans." Libertas, writing in the Fort Smith Times, says that it is remarkable not so much for its great popularity, which is evidenced by the number of editions through which it has run, as for its broad-minded spirit, liberality and entire freedom from invective, ridicule

or harsh criticism in discussing a subject which ordinarily contains more latent heat than any other-that of religion- wherein too often our advocates of a peculiar cult-
"Prove their doctrine orthodox By apostolic blows and knocks."
The spirit of the work may be determined from the following paragraphs of the introduction :
"It was impossible to cover the ground marked out for this book without instituting comparisons between the Episco- pal Church and other bodies of Christians. Where we are found to differ radically in matters of doctrine and govern- ment an uncompromising effort has been made to justify our position. But the uniform endeavor has been to speak the truth as Episcopalians understand it in a spirit of love and fairness, and it is hoped that we have nowhere been so unfor- tunate in our expressions as to wound the feelings of any who differ from us or to leave the impression that we are so nar- row and bigoted as not to perceive that the various denomina- tions of Churches have done and are doing a great amount of good. We believe that countless millions will be in heaven who followed not with us.
"But though we are aware of the Christian graces, the good works, and the bright heavenly prospects of tens of thous- ands of the representatives of the Roman Church and Dissent- ing Protestants, yet this glad conviction does not justify us in forgetting our prolonged, causeless, hurtful and therefore sinful divisions, and the consequent obligation to do what we can to restore the visible organic unity of the primitive Church. We are indeed all journeying toward the Promised Land; but how much better it would be for us and for the world if we were going together in the straight and narrow way of God's appointment !"
Bishop Brown's arguments are based upon the following broad tenets :
387
THE ANNALS OF CHRIST CHURCH PARISH.
"(1.) Christ founded a visible, organized Church, and has laid upon us the obligation to ally ourselves with it. (2.) The way to that Church is not through the gates of Rome. (3.) Nor by way of Methodismn, Presbyterianism, etc., but (4) Through the Episcopal Church."
The writer follows the history of the Church in detail from the time it was planted in Britain in apostolic times, probably by St. Paul himself, through all its struggles with papacy, and gives a graphic account of the founding of the Church in America. His reviewer closes by commending "Church for Americans" to every fair seeker after knowledge, as one of the cleverest, wisest and most logical and least dog- matic presentations of Episcopal doctrine than can come to his hands. It will eradicate from the minds of many of us very mistaken impressions and fill us with a more wholesome respect for tenets, which perhaps we did not before under- stand.

REV. BROWN ACTED
AS A SUBSTITUTE AT ST. MATTHEW'S CHURCH IN NEW YORK.
The following clipping from a New York paper will interest the friends of the Rev. Wm. M. Brown in Little Rock :
"An unusual incident occurred at St. Matthew's Church upon the occasion of the recent visit of the Bishop of the Diocese. Dr. Krans was so ill that he could not take part and present the class. Bishop Brown, of Arkansas, who hap- pened to know of Dr. Krans's condition, because he made one of the Lenten week day addresses, volunteered to take his place as parish Priest, and did so, reading the lesson and presenting the class, Dr. Gallaudet reading the Collects and Psalter.

Bishop Potter, as could be seen, tried to treat Bishop Brown as another Bishop, offered him the chair, etc. But Bishop Brown refused. He was there to be the Parish Priest, and he refused to be anything else. Bishop Potter referred to the incident eloquently and touchingly, saying that while he had confirmed nearly one hundred thousand persons in this Diocese, this was the first instance he had known where the class had been presented by one Bishop to be confirmed by another. He recalled the story of St. Peter and St. John going to Samaria to confirm those converted under the preach- ing of St. Philip, the Deacon."
