Hear, also, what is written concerning the worship of heaven, in the seventh chapter of the Revelation, beginning at the ninth verse :
I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, saying, Amen : Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they ? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest .. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple.
Then shall be sung the Bonum est.
Here may follow an address, or charge, on the duty and office of choristers.
The Rector shall then demand of them, standing in order be- fore him, as follows ; the questions being considered as addressed to them severally, and the answers to be made accordingly :
Dost thou desire to enter into this choir, to draw nearer unto the Lord, and to lead His praises in the great congregation ?
Answer-I do.
Dost thou promise to be reverent in coming and going, and in all thy stay in this holy place ?
Answer-I do.
Wilt thou obey such rules and officers as may be lawfully made, subject always to the Rector of the parish ?
Answer-I will.
Then, every one of them kneeling before him, the Rector shall say :
By virtue of the power vested in me as priest and Rector of this parish, I admit thee to the office of a chorister in this Church; in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Then shall the Rector deliver to them the Psalter, saying :
·

HISTORY OF THE CHURCH
Receive this book, and see that what thou singest with thy mouth thou be- lieve in thy heart, and show forth in thy life.
Then shall the Rector add :
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and praise the Lord.
Here the choristers shall enter the choir, all singing Psalm 122, Lætatus sum.
Rector-The Lord be with you.
Answer-And with thy spirit.
Rector-O Lord, show Thy mercy upon us.
Answer-And grant us Thy salvation.
Rector-Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness.
Answer-And let Thy saints sing with joyfulness.
Rector-O God, make clean our hearts within us.
Answer-And take not Thy Holy Spirit from us.
Then shall follow this collect :
O Lord God Almighty, before whom the choirs of heaven rest not day and night, graciously behold and accept the services of these Thy servants, upon whom, in Thy Name, we have placed the garments of praise; that they may sing with the spirit and with the understanding also, and at last be admitted to the ranks of those who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, Whom, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, we wor- ship and glorify as one God, world without end. Amen.
Then shall the Rector add this blessing :
God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost, bless, preserve, and keep you, now and for evermore. Amen.

In 1823 he was graduated from the Law School of the University of Paris. In 1827 he came to the city of New York and there resolved to make teaching his life-work. In 1830 he opened a school in that city, his boarding pupils being principally from Spain, Corsica, the Antilles, Mexico, and Central and South America. In 1838 he removed to Paterson, N. J., and thence in 1844 to Elizabeth, N. J. In 1847, on the invi- tation of Bishop Doane, he removed to Burlington, bringing ten of his pupils with him. In 1853 he published Syllabaire Français et Premier Livre de Lecture. Dissatisfied before he left France with the Roman Obedience to which he was bred, Prof. Baquet, in 1848, was admitted to the holy communion in St. Mary's Church, and from 1863 until the date of his removal to Mount Holly -- a period of fourteen years-was a vestryman. After his death, the Vestry placed the following tribute on their minutes :
"The honest man, the polished gentleman, the ripe scholar, the conscien- tious churchman, the consistent Christian, has left us the legacy of his good name and spotless example."

+ Marcus Ferris Hyde was born near Oxford, Conn., December 28th, 1818, and was prepared for College at the Cheshire Academy, where he had the instruction of a native Greek, Demetrius Stamatiades. He was graduated from Trinity (then called Washington) College in 1839, and held a tutorship of ancient languages in his Alma Mater. Then he established a school in Brooklyn, L. I., and in 1846, at the solicitation of Bishop Doane, assumed the chair of ancient languages in Burlington College. He was admitted deacon in 1849 (see page 720), married the day after (see page 496), and advanced to the priesthood in St. Andrew's Church, Mount Holly, April 26th, 1851. In addition to his duties in the College as Professor, and Librarian, he was usually engaged on Sundays in missionary work, being among the first to hold services at Florence, Pemberton, Rancocas and Riverton. He received the honorary degree of Doctor in Divinity in 1870 from Andalusia College ; and from 1874, until incapacitated by ill health, was an Examining Chaplain of the diocese. His contributions to the press and his revised edition of St. Cyprian show his position among classical scholars. He left a large amount of manuscript bearing upon patristic literature.

HISTORY OF THE CHURCH
Almighty God, on Thursday, August 4th, 1881, by the Rt. Rev. Dr. Scarborough, Bishop of New Jersey, assisted by the Rt. Rev. Dr. McLaren, Bishop of Illinois. At 11 A. M. the pro- cession moved from the house of George Johnson, diagonally opposite the north side of the Church, preceded by Clayton R. Prickett, the sexton of St. Mary's Church, Burlington. A por- tion of the vested choristers of that Church-six boys and twenty men-led by a cornet, sang, "Onward, Christian Sol- diers." On reaching the west door of the Church the procession opened ranks and reversed their order, the Bishop of the diocese being received by Capt. John Arnold, the donor of the lot, and Mr. William D'Olier, the lay-trustee of the property, who read the instrument of donation and request to consecrate. The sentence of consecration was read by the Rev. Geo. Morgan . Hills, D. D., the founder of this Church. Morning prayer was then read by the Rev. John H. Knowles, canon of the Cathe- dral of SS. Peter and Paul, Chicago, and the Rev. Elvin K. Smith, for many years principal of St. Mary's Hall, Burlington, the Rev. H. E. Thompson and the Rev. W. H. Capers reading the lessons. The sermon was delivered by the. Rev. Dr. Hills
Rev. Dr. Hills has held occasional services; once in the woods, once in the sitting-room of the village inn, and frequently in one or the other of the Methodist chapels. In July, 1879, Capt. John Arnold offered a lot, one hun- dred and ten by three hundred and forty-six feet, on the northwest end of his cemetery-ground, graded and fenced and set with young trees, together with $100 in money, for the use of the Church. The offer was accepted by Dr. Hills, and on the 8th of September the land was conveyed to John Scar- borough, Geo. Morgan Hills and William D'Olier, in trust. Wm. D. Hewitt, of Burlington, was employed as architect, and on the 23d of April, 1880-St. George's day-the contract was awarded to James Wilson, of Burlington, master-builder. All the material was prepared in Burlington and sent by railroad to Point Pleasant, where, on Saturday, May 15th, the Rev. Dr. Hills said the following :
OFFICE FOR BREAKING GROUND FOR A NEW CHURCH WHEN NO CORNER- STONE IS LAID.
The Officiant, coming to the ground and there standing, with the donor of the ground on his right and the master-builder on his left, shall say .

from Psalm lxxxvii : 1. Her foundations are upon the holy hills: the Lord loveth the gates of Sion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. The offertory was read by the Rev. John Dows Hills, deacon in charge of the mission, the offerings being gathered by two of the choir boys. The Bishop of the diocese then pro- ceeded with the eucharistic office. About sixty received. After the blessing the procession withdrew from the Church, singing, " Hark, the Sound of Holy Voices." The altar-vases and font were filled with pond lilies. New York, Philadelphia and Chicago had representatives in the congregation, while Burlington sent a large delegation. Several graduates of St. Mary's Hall were present with their blue and white ribbons and silver medals.

Then taking the spade from the donor of the ground, the Officiant, turning the sod thrice, shall say :
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
I break this ground for the erection of a Church fabric, to be named St. Mary's-by-the-Sea, for the sole and exclusive use of Christ's Holy Catholic Church, according to that pure and apostolic branch of it called the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America.

Except the Lord build the house, their labor is but lost that build it.

Blessed be Thy Name, O Lord, that it hath pleased Thee to put it into the hearts of Thy servants to offer this ground unto Thee. All things come of Thee, and of Thine own have we given Thee. Prosper the work of our hands upon us, O prosper Thou our handiwork. Direct the plans of this building ; guard the workmen from harm; bless its friends and benefactors; bring it to a safe and happy completion ; and make it indeed the house of God and the gate of heaven, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

HISTORY OF THE CHURCH
MR. CRAWLEY-BOEVEY TO REV. DR. HILLS.
" Ahmedabad, Bombay, India 11 August 1881.
" The Rev. G. M. Hills, D. D., Rector of St. Mary's Church, Bur- lington, New Jersey, U. S.
"REVEREND SIR-I was present at Flaxley Abbey, in Glou- cestershire, when my brother, Sir Thomas Crawley-Boevey, recd from you your very interesting and valuable work entitled ' History of the Church in Burlington.'
"The allusions contained in that work to Mrs. Catherine Bovey were of especial interest to me, as I have recently been collect- ing with the view of publishing all the information relating to that excellent lady which I could obtain.
" I brought to the notice of Sir John Maclean, F. S. A., the President for the current year of the Bristol and Gloucester Archeological Society, your valuable HISTORY and account of John Talbot, the first Bishop in North America. Sir John Maclean expressed the greatest interest in your researches. * John Talbot's history is of especial interest to our family, and to all Gloucestershire antiquarians. t
On Sunday, July 4th, 1880, the fabric, complete with all needed appoint- ments, was opened for its first service, the Rev. Dr. Hills officiating and celebrating the holy Eucharist. The building is a very pretty specimen of modern Gothic architecture, with sittings for three hundred. The chancel is nineteen by nineteen and a half feet, with altar, altar-cross, vases, credence, stalls, lecturn, font and organ. The organ was the gift of the Sunday School of St. Mary's, Burlington, and a silver communion set was from some of the Church people of the same. The central subject in the east window is the ark floating on the billows, and in the head-light, the dove with the olive leaf. To the left is the anchor in the water, and on the right, two fishes ; while above, on either side, are a sheaf of wheat and a cluster of grapes. The total cost of the building and all its furniture was $3,500.
+ " John Talbot was the son of Thomas Talbot, of Gonville Hall, in the parish of Wymondham, co. Norfolk, gent., by Jone his wife, daughter of Sir John Mede, of Loffts, co. Essex, and was baptised in the parish Church there, on the 6th November, 1645, was educated at Elmden, in Essex, under a Mr. Howarth, B. A., and admitted to Christ's College, Cambridge, as a sizar under Dr. Covill, on 17 Feb., 1660, aged 15 years, a Mr. Pepper being surety for him, and he matriculated, 9th July, 1660. He was B. A., 1663, became a Fellow of Peter House, 1664, and was admitted M. A., by Royal Mandate, in 1671. The Mandate is dated 12th September, 1670, and is still in the Reg- istry of Cambridge. Mr. Talbot left a curate in charge of his parish of Fretherne, one Mr. William Smith and on 20th July 1704, the Rectory of Fretherne, in consequence of the absence of the Incumbent, was sequestrated
761
IN BURLINGTON.
"It appears from the Bishops' Registers at Gloucester, that John Talbot was instituted to the rectory of Fretherne in Glou- cestershire on 29 June 1695 in the place of Henry Higford re- signed, upon the presentation of William Bayley Esq., the patron.
"Robert Frampton, Bishop of Gloucester, was finally deprived of his Bishopric on 1st February 1690, and after his depriva- tion retired to the living of Standish near Gloucester, which living he was allowed by the tacit connivance of Dr. Henry Compton, Bishop of London, to hold until his death in 1708. In his retirement at Standish Bishop Frampton was a near neighbor of John Talbot, Rector of Fretherne.
"There is a tradition in my family that Bishop Frampton soon after his deprivation was offered an asylum at Flaxley Abbey. The lord of the Manor at that time was William Bovey, hus- band of Mrs. Catherine Bovey, both of whom are reputed to have evinced the warmest sympathy towards the nonjuring clergy.t
" The picture of Bishop Frampton may be seen at Flaxley Abbey together with several other portraits of dignified-looking clergymen who are believed to be other nonjuring friends of the family but whose names have unfortunately been lost.} Wil- liam Bovey died 26th August, 1692, æt thirty-five, leaving no issue. By his will he left to Bishop Frampton, whom he terms ' my honoured friend,' the sum of £100; and he was succeeded at Flaxley Abbey by his widow, Mrs. Catherine Bovey, who lived there from the date of her husband's death until her own death, on 23d January, 1726, O. S.
" You have alluded in your interesting HISTORY to the private
to William Smith, clerk, and on the 4th July in the following year, the said William Smith, clerk, M. A., was instituted to the rectory, described as being vacant by the absence of John Talbot, clerk, the last Incumbent."-Sir John Maclean in Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archeological Society, Vol. V., 1881.
+ A List of Nonjuring Clergy is given in Numb. VI., Appendix, pp. 5-13, Kettlewell's Works, (folio), London, 1718.
į Diligent inquiries have been made in many places in England, and no known portrait of Mr. Talbot has been found. The same inquiries have also been made in America for a portrait of Hon. Jeremiah Bass, Governor of the Province of East New Jersey, without success. See p. 194.

benefactions made to the Church in Burlington by Bishop Frampton ; and Mrs. Catherine Bovey .¿ Another benefactor was Mrs, Dorothy Bayley 2d daughter of William Bayley Esq., lord of the Manor of Fretherne, patron of the Fretherne living, and who presented John Talbot to that living in 1695. This lady died 25 June 1727 ; and her will, dated 2 March 1726 con- tains the following :
"'ITEM .- It is my will that at the death of my Executrix the rents of my estate except the annuity of Tenn pounds per annum payable to Martha Hughes halfe yearly, for the term of her natural life as aforesaid and after my just debts and legacies are paid be applied to buy books for the use of the Church in America for one year to be sent thither to the Reverend Mr. John Talbot, Missionary there, yt is to say Bibles comon prayer books, the whole duty of Man & whatever is thought most need- full to be disposed of by him which I entrust my Trustees to see performed to the intent Christian Knowledge may be pro- pagated in those dark parts of the earth. * And what money still shall remain after the doing hereof I do give for a small bell to be cast and sent to the Reverend Mr. John Talbot Missionary in America, for the Church of which he is Minister which is what he desires of me and which I hope will be performed.'
"This extract should be read in connection with the letter from John Talbot to the S. P. G. printed at page 190 of your HISTORY.
" Bishop Frampton-himself an ardent Missionary-appears to have inspired his friend & neighbour, John Talbot with an ardour for missionary enterprise, and in this good work they were most cordially assisted by a small number of local benefactors of whom Mrs. Catherine Bovey of Flaxley Abbey and Mrs Dorothy Bayley of Fretherne were two of the most enthusi- astic. The fact that Bishop Compton of London formally entrusted to Mrs. Catherine Bovey for investment the money

left by Bishop Frampton for the support of John Talbot's Mis- sionary enterprise shows I think the intimate nature of the connection which existed between John Talbot, the Missionary, and his devoted Gloucestershire supporters. It is clear from the papers published by you that John Talbot was himself at heart a nonjurer like Bishop Frampton ; and it may I think be inferred with reasonable probability that the abandonment of his cure at Fretherne and his devotion to Missionary enterprise were mainly due to this.
" Both John Talbot and Robert Frampton f were men of very remarkable integrity and force of character at a time when English Churchmen as a class were not particularly distin- guished for these virtues. *
"Mrs. Catherine Bovey of Flaxley Abbey was a lady of very remarkable character and attainments. She has been immor- talized in the pages of the Spectator as the 'perverse' and attractive widow beloved of Sir Roger de Coverley. She was the intimate friend of Steele, the writer of those celebrated papers, of Addison, the Spectator himself, of Bishop Framp- ton, and of the learned Dr. Hickes, another famous nonjuror.
+ " Within the altar-rails of Standish Church is the grave of Robert Framp- ton, the deprived Bishop of Gloucester. The stone is placed in front of the altar ; and on it is the mitre, with shield bearing the arms of the See, and the following inscription : 'Robertus Frampton, Episcopus Gloucestriensis. Cætera quis nescit ? Ob. 8 Calend. Junij, anno ætatis suæ 86, consecrationis 28, æræ Christianæ 1708.' The entry of his burial in the Register reads: 'Dr. Robert Frampton, Lord Bishop of Gloucester, and Vicar of this Church, was buried May the twenty-seventh, Anno Dom. 1708.'
" The Life of Robert Frampton, Bishop of Gloucester, deprived as a Non-Juror, 1689, edited by the Rev. Thomas Simpson Evans, M. A., Vicar of Shoreditch London presents to us 'that famous preacher, Dr. Frampton,' whom Evelyn heard at St. Giles's one Sunday in October 1672 and whom Pepys describes six years earlier as 'a young man, and of a mighty ready tongue,' preaching " the most like an apostle that ever I heard man,' so that 'it was much the best time that I ever spent in my life at church.' The circumstances attend- ing the loss of his See and the touching account of his life during his retire- ment at Standish are detailed in the Memoir which, being the work of a contemporary, has been brought to light many years after it was written. ' Were it only for the narrative of his deprivation and of his subsequent life,' the editor remarks, 'I do not doubt that this volume would be welcomed by all who can appreciate the spirit of cheerful self-sacrifice, which constitutes the great glory of his character. In his honesty, his sense of humour, his generosity, his personal bravery, his readiness in moments of danger, his eagerness to aid the suffering and the oppressed, in his broad charity, and in his abiding sense of duty to a higher than human law, Robert Frampton is an Englishman of the best type.'

She was one of the earliest promoters of Sunday schools in Eng- land, long before Raikes and Stock had converted into a system what she habitually practised in her own model parish. Her name moreover is prominently associated with the excellent charity in support of the widows and orphans of the clergy.
