position," he protested. "But the faculty have concluded that you are the man for the place," was the reproof. The distrust- ful young fellow was evenutally surprised to find that the older heads were right. When God unmistakably calls us to any special work we shall be safer in not dictating to him as to the best person for the task. It is too much like disputing his judgment. And after all, most of the best work in this world has been done by men who would have preferred to do something else, but who accepted God's plans. Possibly that explains why the work they did was so good. It is reasonable to sup- pose that God's assignments are of the best .- S. S. Times.

A MEMORIAL OF BISHOP HUNTINGTON.
We take the following from an article in the Boston Globe of November 27th :
"Impressive words of eulogy were spoken yesterday morning in Emmanuel Church of its former Rector, 'Bishop Frederic Dan Huntington, who died July 11th of last year, by Rev. Dr. William R.
Huntington, Rector of Grace Church, New York, formerly Assistant Rector of Em- manuel Church.
The occasion was the unveiling of a memorial bust to Bishop Huntington. located in the transept under the south gallery. The bust is of Italian marble, and is two feet in height. It stands in a niche, itself surrounded by a beautiful and elaborate stone canopy and screen of Indiana limestone.
On a tablet to the left in the canopy appear these words 'Frederic Dan Hunt- ington, born May 28, 1819, First Rector of Emmannel Church, 1861 to 1869. Consecrated first Bishop of Central New York April 8, 1869. Died July 11, 1904.'
On a tablet to the right of the bust is this Scriptural verse: 'They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firma- ment, and they that turn many to right- eousness, as the stars forever and ever.'- Daniel, 12: 3.
The memorial is the gift of Miss Caroline French, daughter of the late Jonathan French, warden of Emmanuel Church. Beulah Pratt is the sculptor ; and Francis R. Allen, the architect, designed the stone canopy.
In his memorial sermon Dr. Huntington sketched the life of the Bishop from his early childhood in Hadley to his death. He told how in middle life the Bishop left the Unitarian faith to become an Epis- copalian, and of the far-reaching conse- quences of that action. He showed how Bishop Huntington as Rector of Em- manuel gave the first impulse to institu- tional work in a Boston Church. He ex- pressed gratification that the Bishop who watched over Emmanuel in its early days and had hoped that it would some day have a suitable Church home, lived to see that wish amply fulfilled.

THE GOSPEL MESSENGER.
THE BISHOP'S RELIEF FUND.
We are convinced that there is quite a wide-spread misunderstanding throughout the Diocese with regard to the above named fund. It is supposed by some that the purpose of it is to relieve the Bishop in his own personal expenses, or perhaps to pay his car fare and hotel bills during his visit- ations. It is not surprising that the un- fortunate name of the fund should have given rise to such a mistake, and steps were taken at the last Diocesan Convention to have it changed to something more accurately descriptive of its intention and use. The fact is that the money is given to help those who are in need, and for the prosecution of the work of the Diocese. Its distribution is entirely at the discretion of the Bishop, and he is not required to give account of it, any more than the Rector of a parish is to report his use of the Communion alms; but it may be a good plan to make the following statement of expenditures during the last Convention year, from June 14th, 1904, to June 3rd, 1905. The amounts are arranged under general heads, and the aggregate stated, as follows :
Aged and Infirm Clergy $350 00
Widows and Orphans of Clergy
100 00
Mission Work in the Diocese
277 50
Use of Clergy in the Diocese
225 00
Postulants and Candidates in the
Diocese
117 00
Pensioners in Syracuse
110 00
The Shelter, Syracuse,
100 00
Special Charity
5 00
Total $ 1,344 50
It will be seen that this amount exceeds by more than $500.00 the offerings made during the same period; but the ability to meet these demands was chiefly due to the fact that certain other contribu- tions, not used for their original purpose, were, with the consent of the donors, left to the Bishop's discretion, and he put them into this fund.
Now there are several things to be learned from this report. First, it is clear that large demands are made upon the fund, and that the offerings are not ade- quate to meet them. Second, it will also
be seen that this fund is really needed to supplement other funds, such as the Aged and Infirm Clergy, Diocesan Missions, Ministerial Education, etc. And, thirdly, it is manifest that the salaries of theClergy, in some cases, are not sufficient for their needs. While, therefore, this fund gives the Bishop much satisfaction, no one who reads this account will henceforth imagine, that it is to relieve the Bishop of spending for his own needs what the Diocese gener- ously and regularly gives for that purpose.
MAP OF THE DIOCESE.
We are giving in this number a view of the territory of the Diocese of Central New York, chiefly for the purpose of indicating the bounaries and extent of the several Districts. There is no attempt to locate all the parishes and missions, and only the names of the several counties and cities are printed in the map. This will pro- bably be of special use to the members of the Woman's Auxiliary, who are not as familiar with these divisions of the Diocese as the Clergy are. There are fourteen counties, 11,601 square miles, and the whole extends north and south from the River St. Lawrence to the State of Penn- vania.
GENERAL NEWS.
The Rev. Frederick Foote Johnson was consecrated Bishop Coadjudor of South Dakota on Thursday, November 2nd, in Trinity Church, Newtown, Conn. Mr. Johnson was General Missionary of the Diocese of Western Massachusetts, but the old colonial parish of Trinity, Newtown, had been his former home, and the service was held in its historic Church. We con- gratulate Bishop Hare in the help which he will now have in his ardnous labors, which for thirty years he has carried on alone.
The Rt. Rev. Thos. F. Davies, D.D., Bishop of Michigan, died in Detroit on Thursday, November 9th, at the age of seventy-four. He had been in poor health 1

for some time, and it was expected that a Coadjutor would have to be elected shortly to carry on the work of the Diocese. Dr. Davies was consecrated in 1889, and had been previously the Rector of St. Peter's Church, Philapelphia, which has fur- nished the Church with five or six Bishops, one of whom was Delancey, our first Bishop in the original Diocese of Western New York.
Since the above was written, the Con- vention called for the election of a Coad- jutor, has been held, and elected as Bishop of Michigan, the Rev. Chas. D. Williams, D.D., Dean of Trinity Cathedral, Cleve- land, Ohio.
Virginia is noted for having Assistant Bishops. The original Diocese was seldom without one, and now that the territory which it covered is divided into three Dioceses, the new ones are following the same practice, and it is undoubtedly a good one. West Virginia elected a Coadjutor in 1899, and on Wednesday, November Sth, the Council of Southern Virginia elected the Rev. A. S. Lloyd, D.D., to assist Bishop Randolph. Dr. Lloyd is the well known General Secretary of the Board of Missions, and he has recently declined the episcopates of Mississippi and Ken- tucky. Southern Virginia is his home diocese, and has strong claim's upon him, but many will deplore his departure from the Missions House in New York, in case he should decide to accept the election.
Two other Bishops-Coadjutor have also been elected during the last two weeks, the Rev. Edward M. Parker for New Hamp- shire, and the Rev. Win. Walter Webb, D.D., for Milwaukee. Both of these Clergymen are now engaged in educational work. Dr. Webb is the President of Nashotah House, a Theological Seminary in Wisconsin, and Mr. Parker has been for twenty-five years one of the masters in St. Paul's School, Concord.
The re-ordination of Mr. I. N. W. Irvine, a deposed Priest of this Church, by the Russian Bishop in New York dur- ing the past month, was a great surprise to many people, who are aware of the ap- parently friendly relations recently exist- ing between the representatives of the Russian Church and our own. But the editor of The Church Standard, who has had unusual opportunities of knowing the inner working of these matters, assures us that it was merely what might have been expected, and that the hope of re-union with Eastern Christians is not yet.
DIOCESAN ITEMS.
At the request of the authorities of the General Clergy Relief Fund the Bishop has appointed the following gentlemen as a Committee on its affairs in this Diocese, the Rev. H. G. Coddington, D.D., the Rev. Edward Huntington Coley, Messrs. G. H. Avery, Louis Krumbhaar and Frank L. Lyman. Great efforts are being made by the energetic Assistant Treasurer, the Rev. A. J. P. McClure, of Philadelphia, to increase the efficiency of this fund, and certainly nothing is more important, for we do not make proper provision for the support of aged Clergymen and the families of those who are deceased. In this Diocese the Bishop's Relief Fund is largely drawn upon to make up what our Christ- mas Fund and the General Clergy Relief are not able to do.
It has been the custom for a number of years to have a public service on Friday afternoon for the inmates of St. Luke's Home and Hospital, Utica, in the build- ing itself. In the old building, where there was no regular chapel, it was held in the Lecture Room. Now that the institution is farther away from the Churches of the city, and it is not possible for the inmates to go outside to Church, it is proposed not only to continue the Friday service, but to have one also on the afternoon of the second Sunday of the month. This practice was inaugurated by the Bishop of the Diocese on Sunday, November 12th, at the request
103

of the Chaplain, the Rector of Graco Church. Most of the old ladies of the Home were able to attend, and there were about sixty visitors, including several of the Almoners. The choir master of Grace Church, Mr. J. Francis Day, with his whole choir, provided the music, and helped to make the service attractive and interesting to all.
It will be seen in the report of the Con- vocation of the 4th District that two new missions have been started in the city of Syracuse, one in Elmwood by the Rev. D. C. Huntington, Rector of All Saints' Church, and one in North Syracuse by the Rev. F. T. Henstridge, Rector of Calvary Church. In both places rooms have been rented for the purpose, Sunday Schools organized and services held, and there is a prospect of successful work among the people.
The November meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary to the Board of Missions of the Second District at the Church of the Holy Cross, Utica, was largely attended. The opening service was read by Rev. J. J. Burd. The treasurer's report showed that the united offering for 1907 has already reached the sum of $800. The report from the Juniors showed that they are, at least, not behind their elders in work and offer- ings. Several letters of thanks for boxes received were read by members of different parishes. It was decided to pack the union box for St. Elizabeth's School, at Grace Church, November 17th.
An interesting account of the meeting of the auxiliary, with the Convocation at Waterville, was given by Mrs. Coley. A most enthusiastic description by Mrs. C. G. Irish, the Diocesan President, of the recent missionary day in New York, attended by members of the auxiliary, was listened to by all with pleasure and profit.
The missionary study of the winter was begun by the reading of a paper by Mrs. Child, of Calvary Church, giving some
interesting information in regard to the missionary district of Asheville.
The subject for the next meeting, which is to be held Friday, December 8th, at Trinity Church, Utica, is Southern Florida.
The first meeting of the Sunday School Commission of Central New York, which was named by the Bishop at the last Con- vention of the Diocese, was held in the Parish House, Church of the Holy Cross, Utica. The Rev. J. J. Burd, Rector of that Church, who was appointed by the Bishop chairman of the commission, presided. There were present the Rev. Messrs. J. J. Burd, H. S. Longley, R. M. Church, Karl Schwartz, J. Sanders Reed, D.D., and H. G. Coddington, D.D., and Messrs. H. W. Stewart, W. W. Canfield, T. F. Crane and C. L. Parker.
The first business was to organize, and the following officers were elected: Vice Chairman, Rev. Dr. Coddington, Rector of Grace Church, Syracuse ; Secretary and Treasurer, Rev. Francis C. Smith, of Boonville. The commission took up for discussion the subject of text books in the Sunday Schools, but no definite action was taken in the matter. A resolution was presented and adopted, that the commission accept the constitution of the Federation of Commissions of New York, which held its annual convention in New York city last month, and that the commission be- came a member of the State organization. A committee was appointed to prepare a system of work for the commission and report at the next meeting, which will be held the second week in January, 1906, in Syracuse.
The Standing Committee of the Diocese, at a meeting in the latter part of Septem- ber, elected the Rev. W. DeLaneey Wilson, Rector of St. Mark's Church, Syracuse, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the Rev. Dr. Lockwood. Our apologies are due for the tardiness of this notice.

PAROCHIAL NOTES.
ST. PAUL'S CHURCH, OXFORD .- The Rev. Charles D. Broughton, Rector. This parish has been made the beneficiary in a gift of $1,000.00 from Mrs. Chas. M. Stone, of Binghamton, N. Y., as a memor- ial of her parents, the late John Ray Clarke and Elizabeth Wells Clarke, former resi- dents of Oxford, and loyal friends of St. Paul's Church. The gift has been added to the endowment fund of the parish.
ST. JAMES' CHURCH, CLEVELAND .--- The Rev. Thomas Stafford, Rector. Miss Jackson, President of the Fourth District Branch of the Woman's Auxiliary, met the ladies of this parish on October 31st, when a branch of the Auxiliary was organized, and the following officers elected: Presi- dent, Miss Eugenie Morenus ; Treasurer, Mrs. L. S. Budlong; Secretary, Mrs. C. R. Peachin. An officer to take charge of the United Offering will soon be appointed.
ST. JOHN'S CHURCH, CAPE VINCENT .- The Rev. C. N. Tyndell, Rector. A new pipe organ has recently been placed in this Church. On the fourth anniversary of the beginning of the present Rectorship, the members of the Vestry passed congra- tulatory resolutions, and, what is more notable, they began their fall work by making a corporate communion on the fourth Sunday in September. Electric lighting has recently been supplied to the Rectory.
ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH, NEW BERLIN. -The Rev. J. Malcolm Smith, Rector. The Rector contributes the following items :
The Bishop's annual visitation on Nov- ember 14th to St. Andrew's Church was a very happy event in the parish. On Tuesday afternoon the Bishop and Mrs. Olmsted had an opportunity to meet our people at a reception given by the Junior Warden, Mr. F. T. Arnold, at his house, In the evening the Church was filled with a large congregation, and the Bishop con- firmed a class of fifteen candidates.

ST. PAUL'S CHURCH, WATERTOWN .- The Rev. E. Warren Saphore, Rector. We congratulate this parish on the removal of its heavy burden of debt. A mortgage and other incumbrances amounting to $12,000 have been paid off, and on Monday, Nov- ember 20th, they had a joyful function at "the burning of the mortgage," in the presence of a crowded congregation. Great credit is due to the Rector for his indefati- gable and successful efforts in the matter. It is expected that the Church will be con- secrated on January 25th, the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul.
