"That new and Heavenly Birth,


Which re-creates the Sons of Earth, Cleansing from guilt of Adam's sin, The soul that Jesus died to win."


And there are so many unbaptized adults, untaught and unconscious of their great peril. A Church woman once entered a room where an unbaptized girl of 18 lay dying, weeping women sat around, and one of them in utter ignorance of the true faith, would still exclaim "she's a perfect little angel; only last night she sang, 'I want to be an angel.'" A few words were spoken, a few miles driven and God's minister was brought to her, and she became, not an angel-that she could never be-but a far higher privilege was hers; she was made in Holy Baptism "A member of Christ, the child of God, and an inheritor of the Kingdom of Heaven."

An artist painted the picture of a dying Church. On the wall hung a small box labelled "For Foreign Missions." Over the slot through which contributions should have gone was a huge cobweb.

BOOK NOTICES.


THE SUNDAY SCHOOL, IN THE DEVELOP- MENT OF THE AMERICAN CHURCH .- By the Rev. Oscar S. Mitchell, Rector of Old St. John's Church.


We cannot be too often reminded of the overwhelming importance of the religious education of the young in our age and country. England has for several years been going through a crisis in the matter, which has developed a good deal of sectar- ian bitterness, and the recent elections there show that it is coming to a head, the end of which no one can certainly foretell. But our difficulties are not precisely likq those of England. The divisions of Christendom long ago settled the matter for us that the Christian religion could not be definitely taught in our public schools. Consequently, if we would have our children brought up in that religion, there are only two other possible agencies by which it can be done, the home and the Sunday School. We all know how inade- quate the home is, as it is frequently con- stituted and conducted in these days, to give a thorough religious training. Many parents are not themselves religious, and are more apt to be taught by their children than to teach them. Many good parents hesitate to speak to their offspring on the subject, and so for one reason or another it is neglected. The Sunday School, there fore, comes in as the only resource; and it is well that people should know what has been done, and what is now going on, to make the Sunday School more effective.


Mr. Mitchell's book is an attempt to supply this knowledge, and it is filled with useful information. Doubtless many people will be surprised to learn how much we are indebted to our own Church people for the origin and development of this agency ; and that in the early days of the Nineteenth Century some of the more rigid Puritan and Calvinistic bodies opposed it very strongly. It was customary then to teach reading and spelling and other sub- jects not strictly religious, and they thought it was a breach of the fourth Com- mandment. It is inspiring, too, to observe how many of the greatest men in the early


American Church were actively interested in promoting the efficiency of the Sunday School, such as Bishops White, Hobart. Whittingham and Bedell, Dr. Croswell, Dr. Tyng, Gregory and others. Those who are familiar with the history of St. George's Church, New York, know well what a large and flourishing Sunday School Dr. Tyng had there fifty years ago.


Mr. Mitchell shows also the various schemes that have been resorted to to accom- plish the desired result, the S. S. Union, the Joint Diocesan Series, the uniform lessons, the institutes and the commissions, all useful in their time and way, and each one yielding to something that was sup- posed to be better adapted to the age. The most recent effort is the Commission move- ment, which started in New York in 1898, and has spread largely over the country, having been adopted by twenty-five dioceses in the United States and two in Canada when this book was published. We com- mend it as a hand-book of information to all who are interested, and we wish that might include every man, woman and child in the Church.


A MISSIONS CATECHISM. By the Rev. J. Sanders Reed, D.D.


This is the latest of that remarkable set of little books by the same author, called the "Pemmican Series." They are sınall in bulk, but contain a great deal of valuable information and suggestion, This Missions Catechism is not by any means intended merely for children, but will be most edifying to older people and a means of illuminating the ignorance which is so unfortunately prevalent on the subject. Here, for example, is a question and answer which would benefit many of our parishes, "Has the napkin theory of Christianity been discredited ? Utterly. The Church contracts that will not expand. The Coptic Church is a mouruful illustra- tion of the principle. Missions are the dynamics of religion. Distance does not count. No mission work is foreign to the Church whose circumference is that of the round world."

THE GOSPEL


PRO FIDE. A DEFENCE OF NATURAL AND


REVEALED RELIGION. By Charles Harris, B.D., Lecturer in Theology, St. David's College, Lampeter, and Exam- ining Chaplain to the Bishop of Llan- daff.


This is a hand-book of Apologetics, and we commend it to the Clergy especially as a most valuable work. Mr. Harris is not unfavorable to constructive criticism, and adopts some of the modern critical con- clusions with regard to Holy Scripture; but he does not hesitate to call attention to the absolutely unfair methods of some critics, and far from upholding their re- jection of miracles, he very strongly affirms that miracles are essential to the adoption of a divine revelation. He is very logical and fair in all his arguments, taking up the objections of skeptics both in natural and revealed religion, and answering each one categorically and, as it seems to us, very satisfactorily. He is entirely familiar with the latest arguments and the most recent research of biblical critics, and un- hesitatingly affirms the soundness of the Catholic Faith. Not the least important feature of the book is the list of literary works on the subject treated in every chapter, in which the writers on both side; are included. The Clergy will find these lists very helpful in ascertaining what they ought to read on any point in which they are particularly interested.


In preparation for the Lenten Season, there have been recently published by Thomas Whittaker several volumes by the Rev. Dr. Mortimer, of Philadelphia, in- cluding "Life and its Problems," a series of sermons for Lent; "The Church and The Good Samaritan," by the Rev. Frank N. Westcott, author of "Catholic Prin- ciples :" a new vohune of sermons by the Rev. W. R. Huntington, D.D., Rector of Grace Church, New York, and several special works adapted for use at Services on Good Friday. :

OBITUARIES.


Hubert Munson Rouse died on Friday, February 23rd, 1906, aged 75. He was born on the old farm at Paris Hill, where he spent the years of his long and active. life. His usefulness in the affairs of men was attested in many ways. Wielding the pen of a ready writer, his intelligence and skill gave him prominence in the com- munity which he always honored with his best endeavor. For more than forty years he served as vestryman and warden of St. Paul's Church, leaving a record of a very clean and most influential character. Genial, manly, God-fearing, he so wrought that his fellow workmen "rise up and call him blessed." It was an ideal home which he and his good wife shaped on the old farm. The bloom of garden and field typified beautifully the cheer and hos- pitality of the house within. Home at its best, so the going home was from joy to joy. The funeral was attended from the Church on Sunday afternoon, February 25th, and although the day was inclement, the house was filled with sorrowing friends. So the wealth of the old parish increases- its jewels, "the just made perfect."


Edward Doolittle died on Monday morning, March 12th, aged 71, so the record of the mother parish reads. Within the brief space of a little more than two weeks both the wardens of St. Paul's Church pass to their rest. Mr. Doolittle was born on the farm where he died, and where he spent his entire life. His skill and industry made the farm an ideal country home. No more inviting hos- pitality could be found in our entire com- munity. The greater monument to our brother's life's work is surely in the beauti- ful home which he and the good wife shaped and loved so well. For twenty- eight years he was, a vestryman of St. Paul's crowning it all with twelve years' service as warden. "Faithful unto death," we now know is the blessed service which he rendered unstintedly to his Church home. Mr. Doolittle and Mr. Rouse

entered the vestry about the same time- their terms of service both as vestrymen and wardens, running parallel throughout. Mr. Doolittle's inheritance on both sides reached back through the veteran workers who gave of their best to St. Paul's. His great grandfather, Uri Doolittle,


was one of the founders of the parish and a member of the first vestry. His maternal grandfather, David Stiles, was a staunch worker in the parish, dying in 1870 at the advanced ago of 96. His mother is yet living, having just passed her 95th birthday. We shall miss the virile force with which the brother wrought in our midst. We shall miss the steadfastness and courage he illustrated so completely, but the gain of the home-going is all ours, we, with him, "standing ever in the light." Amidst a great concourse of neighbors and friends, the funeral was attended from the old homestead on Wed- nesday afternoon, March 14th.


HENRY T. UTLEY.


The Vestry of Grace Church, Water- ville, N. Y., at a special meeting held on March 1st, 1906, to take action on the death of their fellow-Vestryman, Hon. Henry T. Utley, unanimously adopted the following minute, to wit :


"In the death of Hon. Henry T. Utley, Waterville has lost one of its foremost citizens and the parish of Grace Church one of its oldest and most interested mem- bers. Elected to the Vestry in 1870, he served in that body, continuously, until he entered into rest. Earnest and faithful, he was always in his place, unless kept away by some serious cause. A true gentleman of the old school, he was highly esteemed and much beloved by a large circle of friends. In his chosen profession, in his life as a citizen, and as a holder of public office, he stood firmly for profes- sional purity, civic righteousness, the im- partial enforcement of law, and for ab- solute fairness and justice in all things.


For all that he has been to us, as a Vestry and as a parish, but more for all that he was in himself, we mourn his loss.


To his family we offer our sincere sym- pathy.


Resolved, That a copy of this minute be sent to the family of our deceased brother, and also published in the Water- ville Times and the GOSPEL MESSENGER. JAMES K. PARKER, Rector. W. G. MAYER, Clerk of the Vestry.


CHRIST CHURCH, SACKETTS' HARBOR, N. Y. (Subject of illustration.)


Sacketts' Harbor is beautifully situated about a little cove on the south side of Black River Bay. In 1801 Mr. Augusti; Sacket settled at the harbor giving his name to the place. In 1809 Mr. Elisha Camp came, and in 1819 Mr. John Can- field. It was the members of these families who organized Christ Church parish in 1821. Previous to this occasion services had been held at different places in the village for some time. In 1823 the building that is still standing was erected. It is a stone structure 40 x 60 feet in the plain puritan style of the period. The erection of this building must have been a great undertaking, as at that time there were only two or three communicants in the parish. The structure was not com- pleted until 1833, when it was consecrated by Bishop Onderdonk on June 1st. the first Church consecrated in Jefferson County.


As then arranged, the pulpit stood in the east end with the lectern in front of it, the praver desk in front of the lectern and the communion table in front of the prayer desk, all of which was inclosed with a semicircular balustrade which served as altar-rail. The communion table is still in the Church, but not now used for its original purpose.


In about 1850 some changes were made. an altar with reredos was put in the place of the pulpit, and the organ was taken from the gallery and placed in the chancel. two of the box-pews being removed for the purpose. This pipe organ, purchased in 1832, is still in use-a very good one for one so old. In 1886 quite extensive repairs were made under the care of Mr. Theodore Canfield, who has nursed the parish

through many a stress and storm, and who gave to it a memorial fund of $5,000.00 in 1896, the income to be used to pay the Rector's salary. In 1892 a very comfort- able rectory was purchased. In 1900 the chancel was re-arranged, the floor wholly carpeted, the walls frescoed in oil, and a number of memorials placed in the Church. The most notable of these was an altar, reredos and rail given by Mr. George Hall. of Ogdensburg, in memory of his mother.


Space will not permit to tell of all the interesting events or prominent people who have been connected with the parish. One of particular interest was the ordina- tion to the priesthood by Bishop DeLancy in 1850 of Benjamin Whipple, afterwards the noted Bishop. We would like to put a lecturn in the Church in memory of this event.


To-day the parish is in good condition, with about one hundred communicants and a Sunday School of about seventy-five scholars. It is subject to a good deal of fluctuation because of the U. S. garrison situated here. There have been seven hun- dred and eighty-one baptisms, performed by twenty-eight Clergymen, and four hundred and twenty-three confirmations performed by seven Bishops. Sixty-four of the baptisms and fifty-two of the con- firmations have been during the present Rectorate, which shows that the parish con- tinues to hold its own in a village that has not grown but rather declined.


CANON 43, OF THE GENERAL CHURCH .- All persons within this Church shall celebrate and keep the Lord's Day, com- monly called Sunday, by regular partici- pation in the public worship of the Church, by hearing the Word of God read and taught, and by other acts of devotion and works of charity, using all godly and sober conversation.

It is so easy to become thick-skinned in conscience, more tolerant of evil, more hopeless of good, more careful of one's own comfort and one's own property, more self- satisfied in leaving high aims and great deeds to enthusiasts, and then to believe that one is growing older and wiser. And vet those high examples, those good works, those great triumphs over evil, which single hands effect sometimes, we are all grateful for, when they are done, whatever we may have said of the doing. But we speak of saints and enthusiasts for good as if some special gifts were made to them in middle age which are withheld from other men. Is it not rather that some few souls keep alive the lamp of zeal and high desire. which God lights for most of us while life is young ?- Juliana H. Ewing.
