THE GOSPEL MESSENGER,
With this issue THE GOSPEL MESSEN- GER takes on a new form, somewhat more extensive than heretofore, but not very ostentatious, when compared with other papers of the same character published in various parts of the country in these days. It was in view of this change that a cir- cular was sent to the Clergy of the Diocese two or three months ago, asking their interest and aid in the matter. It has become evident to us that more diocesan news would be acceptable to our readers, and would probably help to increase the number of subscribers. And as the en- largement of the paper necessarily involves
greater expense, it was thought that a certain class of advertisements might well be solicited, and thus add to the income. And of course new subscriptions are always desirable. Consequently we asked the Clergy to appoint correspondents in their parishes, who should send us accounts of the important occurrences-to do something towards increasing the sub- scription list-and when it came in their way to get an advertisement. Some of the brethren, we are happy to say, have responded very kindly to that appeal. One sent on twenty new subscriptions at once -- another offered enough money to cover the same number-several have. written about their parochial news, etc. There are many, however, who must have forgotten all about it; and we are hoping that when they see our paper in its new dress, and read what we are saying here, they will at once be stirred to do something to aid in this improvement. We cannot bring ourselves to believe; that they are indifferent to the condition of the paper, which goes before the world as the organ of the Diocese of Central New York.
Another change is the bringing of this naper to Utica again for publication. Doubtless all of its friends are aware that the MESSENGER was at first a general Church newspaper. The Rev. Dr. Rudd was the originator of it. It was estab- lished by him in 1827, and was published for a time in Auburn, where he had a school for boys. Afterwards it came into the hands of the Rev. Wm. A. Matson, D.D., Rector of Calvary Church, Utica, and was published here under his editor- ship for some years. When he left Utica and went to Lockport, the Rev. Wm. T. Gibson, D.D., first Rector of St. George's Church, Utica, took charge of it, and its publication was continued in this city until he gave it up to the Bishop of the Diocese in 1876, when it was taken to
4

Syracuse, and became the diocesan organ. Under Dr. Gibson's able management THE GOSPEL MESSENGER attained quite a large circulation, and was an interesting and favorite Church periodical throughout the country. Its return to Utica now is merely a matter of convenience to the present Bishop. He is much indebted to Messrs. Lyman Brothers, Syracuse, in whose establishment it has been printed up to this time, for their kind courtesy, and the change involves no sort of reflection upon them; but it is necessarily more or less inconvenient to carry on such a work at a distance from one's own domicile, and it became necessary to bring it nearer home. It only remains to say to all the patrons of the paper, that from henceforth all communications of every description should be addressed to "THE GOSPEL MESSENGER, Utica, N. Y."

DIOCESAN ITEMS
All communications for this paper should be addressed to THE GOSPEL MES- SENGER, Utica, N. Y.
A meeting of the Standing Committee of the Diocese was held on Monday, May 15th, in Syracuse, at which the Rev. Messrs. H. C. Staunton and E. A. Evans, Deacons, were recommended to the Bishop for Ordination to the Priesthood, and Mr. Chas. K. Gilbert, candidate, was recom- mended to be ordered Deacon. There are other candidates whose papers were to be acted on, but as they required for one reason or another a majority of three- quarters of the whole Committee, it was impossible to pass them at this meeting owing to the absence of three members. As there is to be another meeting of the Committee in June, this will not make any great difference.
The Bishop of the Diocese has appointed Thursday, June 1st, Ascension Day, as the time, and Grace Church, Utica, as the place for the Ordination of Priests, and that of Deacons to be in Calvary Church, Utica, on Trinity Sunday, June 18th. It
is expected that there will be two Priests and four Deacons.
The Clergy of the Diocese are respect- fully requested to bring their parochial reports to the Convention, and thus save the Secretaries a great deal of unnecessary trouble. The Canon requires the reports to be given in at that time.
It is well that the Clergy and people of the Diocese should know that the Rev. William Cooke, of Whitesboro, is the correspondent of "The Churchman" "' and "The Living Church," and the Rev. Jas. K. Parker, of Waterville, the corres- pondent of "The Church Standard." The editors of these papers prefer that all Diocesan news intended for their columns should go through these correspondents.
The Diocesan Convention is to be held in Grace Church, Utica, on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 13th and 14th of June. On Tuesday a reception will be given by the Bishop and Mrs. Olmsted in the Parish Rooms of Grace Church from 9.00 to 10.30 o'clock in the evening, to which all the delegates to the Convention and their wives are cordially invited. It is hoped that the members will be prompt in assembling for business at 7.30 that evening, and that the despatch of business will also be prompt, so that there may be no difficulty about adjourning at 9.00 o'clock, and as the reception will be in the rooms adjoining the Church, there will be no delay in getting there. It is much desired that it should be a pleasant social occasion.
At the Diocesan Convention there will be an early celebration of the Holy Com- inunion at Grace Church at 7.30 on Wed- nesday ; Morning Prayer and Litany will be said without music at 8.30, and at 9.00 o'clock there will be the usual celebration of Holy Communion, with the choir and Clergy in vestments, at which time the Bishop's address will be given.
'The Bishop of the Diocese is about to
5
THE GOSPEL
change his address from No. 2 Armory Place to No. 159 Park Avenue, Utica. The move will be made some time during the present month. The new residence is on the south-east corner of Park Avenue and South Street, only about two blocks distant from the present one. The street cars do not pass by the house, but it is not far from either the Genesee Street or the South Street line, the latter being probably the nearer of the two.
Mrs. Stirling, wife of the Rev. John Hamilton Stirling, now serving at Jordan and Memphis, died in New Jersey on Good Friday, after a long illness follow- ing a severe attack of typhoid fever. Mrs. Stirling was before her marriage Mis's Catharine Seward, daughter of the late Thomas Seward, of Utica, a well-known Church family in that city. +
PAROCHIAL NOTES. ST. JOHN'S CHURCH, ONEIDA.
The Vestry of this parish has called the Rev. William R. McKim as its Rector, who has accepted the invitation, and will enter upon his duties as soon as he can move his family from the west. Mr. McKim has been the Dean of the Cathedral in Salina, Kansas, for two years, and indeed was Rector of the parish when Bishop Griswold went there to take charge of the newly erected Missionary District. He was in the east on his wed- ding tour when the Bishop of this Diocese asked him to go to Oneida as a supply for one Sunday. His unanimous call to the Rectorship is the result of that visit. We wish him and the parish Godspeed in their new relations.

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH, ITHACA.
The Vestry of this parish has called the Rev. Wm. Herbert Hutchinson to the vacant Rectorship. Mr. Hutchinson is now Rector of the church in Sharon, Ct. He has accepted the call, and expects soon to begin his work in Ithaca.
MESSENGER.
ST. JOHN'S CHURCH, WEEDSPORT.
We are again happy to be able to report that services have been resumed in this mission, through the agency of Mr. Geo. C. Wadsworth, Lay Reader from Syracuse, under the guidance of the Dean of the Fourth District. Work has also been begun once more at Port Byron by Mr. Wadsworth. We trust that these under- takings will be prospered and perpetuated.
GRACE CHURCH, UTICA.
The Rev. W. W. Bellinger, D.D., Rector.
We regret that no mention was made in our May number of Dr. Bellinger's call to the Rectorship of St. John's Church, Detroit, which came to him in April. It was an altogether unintentional oversight. Dr. Bellinger's many friends in Utica rejoice that he decided to decline the call, and they showed their gratification by the very substantial Easter gift of two thousand dollars.
* * :
CALVARY CHURCH, UTICA.
The Rev. E. H. Coley, Rector.
This parish has been called upon to mourn the loss of its Junior Warden, Mr. Henry W. Millar, and the Diocese mourns with it. Mr. Millar's death was very sudden, and a great shock to his friends and the community. He had gone to Chicago to be treated by a physician, but apparently in pretty good health, and he was there taken ill on the street, and died at the hotel in a few minutes, the day after his departure from Utica. This adds another to the already long list of our Church people who have passed away since the last Convention.
By the will of Mr. Millar $10,000 is bequeathed to Calvary Church, Utica; $5,000 to St. Luke's Home and Hospital, Utica ; and $5,000 to the Home for Aged Couples, Utica.
The Rev. David Curran, Deacon, who has been serving for nearly two years at Whitney's Point, has been transferred to the Diocese of Kansas, of which the Rt.

Rer. Frank R. Millspaugh, D.D., is Bishop.
The Rev. Theodore Haydn, of Dryden, writes as follows: "You will be interested to know that the foundation of the new Church is completed, and that we hope to have it in readiness for Consecration the latter part of June. The corner-stone was laid without ceremonies on April 27th.
On Easter Sunday Mrs. Frederick Juliand, widow of the late Hon. Frederick Juliand, for many years Senior Warden uf Zion Church, gave $1,000 in memory of her husband, and to endow the pew occupied by the family. When the pew is no longer used by the family it is to be reserved for visitors. On the back of the pew is a small brass tablet, bearing the inscription : "To the Glory of God and in loving memory of Frederick Juliand, 1-05-1900. 'I was glad when they said unto me, We will go into the house of the Lord.' ">
* * CONVOCATIONS.
The Spring Convocation of the First District was held May 9th and 10th, 1905, in St. James' Church, Theresa.
Tuesday Evening Prayer was read by tl ... Rev. Messrs. Duck and Tyndell. The sermon was preached by the Rev. J. Sanders Reed, D.D. The first service of the second day was at 10.00 o'clock, when . the Litany was said by the Rev. M. J. Hoffman. This was followed at 10.30 by Morning Prayer (said by the Rev. Messrs. Merlinjones and Tyndell), and the Holy Communion, at which the Very Rev. E. W. Saphore was celebrant, assisted by the Rev. Thomas Duck, Rector of the Parish. The preacher at this service was the Rev. E. B. Doolittle. At 12.30 p. m., the dele- gates and visiting friends dined at the Getman House. At 2.00 in the afternoon the business session of the Woman's Auxiliary was opened with prayers read by the Rev. C. N. Tyndell; the President of the First District Branch, Mrs. F. A.

Hinds in the chair. The business was for the most part routine, as is usual at the Spring Convocation. Matters of especial interest, however, were the transfer of the Treasurership of the First District from Mrs. E. L. Goodale to Miss Grace Usher, and the election of Miss Etta M. Woolaver, of Cape Vincent, to the office of District Superintendent of the Junior Work of the First District to succeed Miss Margaret Sherman, of Watertown, whom the Bishop had asked to take the Treasurer- ship of the Diocesan Branch of the Junior Department. The session closed with offertory and collects. At 3.00 o'clock the business session of the Convocation was opened with devotional exercises by the Dean. Roll call was responded to by the Rev. Messrs. Brockway, Doolittle, Duck, Hoffman, Merlinjones, Reed, D.D., Saphore, Shaw, Tyndell, and Lay dele- gates from Theresa (three), and from Trinity Parish, Watertown (two). The Rev. C. T. Raynor was present Tuesday evening. After the reading of the minutes and the Treasurer's report, the Dean read reports from the various Rectors and Ministers in charge. He explained that as the reports were for the most part so brief, he would read them as written rather than epitomise. The condition of the District is good. The Treasurer's report showed that we have overpaid our assessment and under-drawn our appropriation, and the clerical reports were encouraging. This marked the twelfth year of the faithful and efficient service of our esteemed Treasurer, Mr. J. M. Tilden. He has attended thirty-six consecutive sessions and served under six Deans during that period. A vote of gratitude for and appreciation of his un- tiring efforts in the exercise of his duties was called for and given unanimously.
The discussion of the subject, "The Shortage in the Ministry-Reasons and Remedies," was opened by the Rev. Charles Noyes Tyndell, and participated in by a majority of the clergy present. The general opinion seemed to be that there is a shortage, though one member argued that the size of "non-parochial
7
THE GOSPEL
lists" would seem to prove the reverse. The reasons given were various-the remedial suggestions few. Prominent among the reasons were the modern posi- tion of the clergy-"the social barrier"- and the modern trend of scepticism among students-"the educational barrier." Most of the speakers held the lack of de- votional life in the homes largely respon- sible. The Secretary, however, in open- ing the subject took for granted that it dealt with men after they had left the influence of the home.
This Convocation was characterized by a singular unaminity of feeling and deep earnestness. After a vote of appreciation for our entertainment, and prayers by the Dean, the Convocation adjourned sine die.

FIFTH DISTRICT.
The XCVIIIth Convocation of the Fifth Missionary District met in St. Peter's Church, Auburn, May 2nd and 3rd
At the Tuesday evening service ad- dresses were made by the Rev. Henry E. Hubbard and the Secretary; by the former on Diocesan Missions, and by the latter, on Missions in General.
The Business Meeting was held Wednes- day morning at nine o'clock, when, after the usual devotions by the Dean, the roll call elicited responses from all the clergy, and also from the Treasurer.
Mr. Hollister read the Financial Report of the District, which showed $994.33 as having passed through his hands from' April 30, 1904, to April 30, 1905, and that instructions had been given to the Treasurer of the Diocese to pay Stipends to the amount of $1,600.
The Dean then called for reports from committees, when the Rev. Mr. Hubbard reported that little had been done, as yet, on amendment of Constitution and By- Laws ; but recommended that the Secretary be added to the committee.
On motion, the Committee on Constitu- tion was discharged, and a new committee

was duly appointed, consisting of the Dean as chairman, together with the Rev. Mr. Hubbard and the Secretary; and it was ordered that after the amendments shall have been duly prepared and approved by the Convocation, they be printed in pamphlet form.
The report of the Committee on the formation of a Sunday School Institute was then read by the chairman, the Rev. Mr. Casey; when, on motion, the report was accepted, and the Chairman was appointed a committee to present the matter to the Convention of the Diocese at its next annual session.
At this time, adjournment was taken in order to attend Divine Service, which was held in the Church at eleven o'clock, at which time the Reverend Dean preached the sermon from the text, "Why was this waste of the ointment made ?"
At the Holy Communion, the curate of the parish, the Rev. L. J. Christler, was celebrant, the Dean of Convocation assist- ing.
At one o'clock the members of Con- vocation, together with the members of the Woman's and Junior Auxiliary of the District repaired to the Parish House, where they were served to a bountiful luncheon.
After luncheon, the entire afternoon was given up to Woman's Work in the Dis- trict, sessions of both the Woman's and the Junior Auxiliary being duly held.
CHAS. W. MACNISH, Secretary, Fifth District.
FOURTH DISTRICT.
The spring meeting of the Fourth Mis- sionary Distriet Convocation was held at St. John's Church, Marcellus, the Rev. E. B. Mott, Rector, Tuesday and Wednesday, May 9th and 10th, 1905.
At 7.30 p. m. on Tuesday, Evening Prayer was said by the Rector. The Very Rev. Wm. DeLancy Wilson, Dean of the District, read his report, and an address was made by the Rev. H. G. Coddington.
At 9.30 a. m. on Wednesday a business meeting was held. The following clergy- men were present : The Very Rev. Wm.

DeL. Wilson, Dean; the Revs. H. R. Lockwood, S.T.D., W. M. Beauchamp, D.D., W. W. Raymond, D. C. Huntington, Ernest Melville, E. B. Mott, G. D. Ashley, W. S. Hayward, F. T. Henstridge, H. N. Hyde, A. A. Jaynes, L. G. Morris, H. S. Sizer, W. N. Hawkins, H. G. Coddington, W. D. Manross, and Karl Schwartz. Lay delegates in attendance were: Dr. C. J. Peters, of All Saints' Parish, Syracuse; C. II. Fenner, of Trinity Parish, Syracuse, and Wm. Nightingale, of St. John's Parish, Marcellus.
In the absence of the Secretary, the Rev. A. A. Jaynes was elected secretary pro tem.
The Dean gave a brief report of the actions of the Executive Committee since the last meeting of the Convocation, and the Treasurer of the District, Dr. C. J .. Peters, read his report.
After a discussion of cases of Mission Stations receiving stipends and making no contributions to Diocesan Missions, it was resolved on motion of the Rev. H. S. Sizer that stipends be not paid to missionaries unless they take up the monthly canonical offerings for Diocesan Missions.
The Treasurer, Dr. C. J. Peters, asked to have his books examined, and resigned.
On motion of the Rev. Ernest Melville, the thanks of the Convocation were ex- tended to Dr. Peters for his long and faith- ful service, and his resignation was accepted with regret.
Mr. J. H. H. Young, Onondaga County Savings Bank Building, Syracuse, was unanimously elected as Treasurer of the District.
On motion of Rev. F. T. Henstridge, a recess of the business meeting was taken till 2.30 p. m.
At 10.30 a. m., there was a celebration of the Holy Communion by the Dean, the Epistle being read by the Rev. Karl Schwartz, and the Gospel by the Rev. H. G. Coddington. The Rev. H. S. Sizer preached the sermon.
At 12.30 luncheon was served by the ladies of the parish to the clergy, lay del- gates and members of the Woman's Auxil- iary.
At 2.30 p. m., Convocation assembled at the Rectory. The Rev. F. T. Henstridge made a report of his plans for work on the north side of Syracuse, and the Rev. H. N. Hyde spoke briefly of the possibilities of Church extension in Elm- wood.
After a discussion regarding cases where missionary stipends had been used to pay for Sunday supplies, the following resolu- tion was passed: "The Executive Com- mittee of the Fourth Missionary District is instructed to grant stipends only to missionaries nominated or approved by the Bishop."
The Secretary was instructed by a unanimous vote to convey to the family of the late Rev. Theodore Babcock, D.D., the sympathy of the members of the Con- vocation with them in their affliction.
The Rev. Karl Schwartz made the following motion: "Resolved, That this Convocation instructs its Executive Com- mittee to hereafter make all parochial apportionments for Diocesan Missions at a uniform rate, and after the manner in which Diocesan Expense Fund assess- ments are made, with this exception, that whereas the Diocesan Expense Fund is assessed upon the item in the last annual report of the parish, "Rector's Salary and Current Expenses," Diocesan Missions shall be apportioned upon the sum total of monies reported raised for parish uses (exclusive of "Repairs and Improvements to church property and mortgaged Indebtedness Paid,") to which shall be added all income from permanent endow- ments together with a fair and just esti- mate of rental of rectory, to the reports of those parishes that give to their Rectors the use of rectory as an addition to salary, paid, provided this has not been already reported in the item "Rector's Salary and Current Expenses." Furthermore it is resolved that the Rector or Missionary of each parish in this Convocation shall be required to furnish the Executive Com- mittee with the necessary data."
The resolution having been discussed at length, was, on motion of the Rev. H.

N. Hyde, made the first order of business at the next meeting of Convocation.
The Rev. Ernest Melville read an inter- esting and suggestive paper on the subject, "A View of the Church from the Outside." With expressions of thanks for the hos- pitality extended by the Rector and ladies of St. John's. Convocation adjourned.
WOMAN'S AUXILIARY.
The annual meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary of Central New York was held at St. Paul's Church, Syracuse, May 16th and 17th. The session opened with a "quiet hour" service in the evening, conducted by Dr. Lloyd, who spoke with great earnestness of the "Mission of the Church." Wednesday morning there was an early celebration of the Holy Com- munion at seven, and later also at the regular services, Bishop Olmsted being the celebrant and also preaching earnestly from the Word. After this service luncheon was served at the Kanatenah. A brief officers' meeting was held in the chapel, and at 2.30 all convened in the church. Mrs. Knickerbocker, the Pres- ident, in the chair. The six districts of the Diocese were represented by two hundred and seven delegates, and the reports of officers showed a healthy growth in all departments.
