The above letter from the Treasurer of the Diocese will be of use in reminding the Clergy, and especially the officers of Convocation before their January meet- ings, of the importance of taking im- mediate steps to assess the required amounts for Diocesan Missions which have not been assessed, and of forwarding from parochial treasuries what has already been collected for that purpose.
ADVENT ORDINATIONS.
On Ember Friday, St. Thomas' Day, December 21, at Grace Church, Utica, the Bishop of the Diocese ordered Mr. Frank- lin Lee Metcalf Deacon, and advanced to the Priesthood the Rev. Harry Idle. The sermon was preached by the Bishop him-
self from 1 Thes. v. 12, "We beseech you, brethren, to know them which labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and ad- monish you; and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake." The Rev. J. R. Harding presented Mr. Metcalf, and the Rev. E. H. Coley presented Mr. Idle. In the latter's ordina- tion these Clergy united in the laying on of hands, as did also the Rev. Dr. Bellinger and the Rev. Messrs. Cooke, Burd, Clarke, Masse and Higgins.
Mr. Idle is to have charge of Trumans- burg, Romulus and Willowdale in the western part of the Diocese, being helped in that field by two Lay Readers from Hobart College. Mr. Metcalf will con- tinne to officiate at Copenhagen and Champion in the north, where he has been acting as Lay Reader for the past six months. Both of these candidates were formerly Methodist Ministers, who came into the Church from strong conviction concerning the Ministry and the Sacra- ments.
On the Fourth Sunday in Advent, Dec- ember 23d, the Rev. Chas. Webster Hakes, M.D., was ordained to the Priesthood in Christ Church, Binghamton. The sermon was again preached by the Bishop, and the candidate presented by the Rector of the parish, the Rev. Harry S. Longley, who also, with his assistant, the Rev. Harold E. Ford, united in the laying on of hands. Dr. Hakes will continue for the present in charge of the missions at Whitney's Point and Chenango. Forks in the south-eastern part of the Diocese.
The Second Sunday after Epiphany, January 20, will be Missionary Day for the children of the Church; and it is pro- posed to have a grand missionary rally for the Sunday Schools in Utica on that day. The Rev. E. F. H. J. Masse, Rector of St. Luke's Church, is appointed by the Bishop to have charge of the arrangements.

-X- GENERAL NEWS.
AMERICAN CHURCH INSTITUTE FOR NEGROES.
This is an organization created by the Board of Missions of the General Church, for the more active prosecution of mission work among the colored people of the south ; and a special appeal has been put forth in its behalf. The personnel of the Institute is particularly strong, including . among its officers the Bishop Coadjutor of New York, the Bishop of Massachusetts, the Bishop of Newark, Captain Mahan, Mr. Francis Lynde Stetson and others. Such an assemblage. of men, ready to take up the work, indicates a. real determina- tion to do something positive concerning it. And certainly it is time. It has been calculated that this Church of our gives less than one cent a year for the evangeliza- tion of each colored person in the country. Our resources ought not to be exhausted by such an effort as that, and the time has come to retrieve our poor reputation in the. matter. The Rev. Samuel H. Bishop, 500 IV. 122nd Street, New York, is the Field Secretary of the Institute, who will be glad to address congregations whose Rector's will invite him, or to receive any contri- butions that may be sent-though, of

course, all such gifts may go directly to Mr. Geo. C. Thomas, Treasurer of the Board of Missions, designated for the Institute.
The Bishop of the Diocese replied to the following letter from the General Secret- iry of the M. T. O. that he would suggest the second Sunday after Epiphany for the proposed sermon :
'Rt. Rev. and Dear Sir-
The Central Committee on the Mission- ary Thank Offering is anxious to secure united action in regard to the Thank Offer- ing, and it has occurred to us that one way of accomplishing this would be to have sermons on the subject preached simul- aneously in all the parishes and missions of the Church. Some dioceses have already started to do this and the second Sunday after Epiphany, and the second Sunday in Lent have both been suggested.
Will your diocese join in this plan, and which Sunday do you prefer ? If you will ignify your approval we will send out word to the Clergy and will furnish them with any material they may need.
Believe me, very sincerely yours,
H. R. HULSE."
It is hoped that the Clergy of Central New York will act on this suggestion, and ell their people all about the M. T. O., eminding them of the near approach of the ime when it is to be offered.
We wish to call attention once more to he Sunday School "Leaflets for Written Answers," prepared by the Rev. Dr. Wil- on, of Syracuse, and published by Lyman Brothers of the same city. They are very suggestive and helpful, easily understood and applied, and will solve the problem of nstruction in many cases, where super- ntendents and teachers are at a loss to know what to do in the matter. Send for
them to Messrs. Lyman Brothers, 108 Pearl Street, Syracuse.
The Rt. Rev. George Franklin Seymour, D.D., Bishop of Springfield, Ill., passed away at his home on December 8, after an illness of some weeks. He was in his 78th year of age, and had been Bishop 28 years. Funeral services were held in Springfield, and again in Trinity Church, New York, where he was consecrated, and he was buried in Greenwood Cemetery. His death recalls the violent struggles of the early seventies between the parties in the Church ; for in 1874 he was elected Bishop of Illinois, and his election came before the General Convention of that year for confirmation. The House of Deputies sat for eight days with closed doors debating the matter, and finally rejected him. After the "love feast". of 1877 at Boston, the Standing Committees passed Dr. Seymour in 1878.
HISTORY OF ZION CHURCH, MC LEAN, N. Y. (Subject of Illustration.)
In the year 1817 the Rev. Wm. .. Clark, a misionary residing at Manlius visited Locke and Dryden, about which time, presumably through his efforts, a congregation was organized by the name of St. Matthew's Church in the village then called Moscow, but since MeLean. The services were maintained for several months by lay-reading, but were discon- tinued on account of the illness of the lay- reader, Mr. Heber Foot.
When the Rev. Henry Gregory took charge of St. Matthew's Church, Moravia. at the request of Mr. Foot, he held a service in the school-house near Rigg's Corners. Among those present at this service was Mr. Samuel H. Starr of MeLean. At his request Mr. Gregory made an appointment to preach on the 20th of October at the
12
THE GOSPEL MESSENGER.
village of McLean. Mr. Gregory says, "The day was very stormy, but I rode on horse-back (18 miles) and arrived at the hour. I found that the people had mis- understood the hour and had dispersed. I left another appointment for the 4th of November, which I fulfilled and preached in the Baptist Meeting House." In Feb- ruary of 1831 Mr. Gregory began to hold week-day services, and on April 17, officiated on Sunday, baptising one adult and one infant. On August 11th two candidates from McLean were confirmed in Calvary Church, Homer. The first Celebration of the Holy Communion was on December 12, 1831, at which nine persons received.
In September, 1832, Mr. Gregory de- termined to discontinue services because of the small number who were interested, but finding an unusually large congregation was encouraged to go on. About this time a two-story school-house was erected and services were held in the upper room on Sunday evening every three weeks. In 1833 Mr. Gregory removed to Homer and began to hold services in McLean every other Sunday evening.
.
Mr. Gregory makes the following inter- esting record: "On Sunday, September Sth, Mr. Erastus Bradley was confirmed at Homer. He had been for many years a communicant of the Presbyterian Church, and when the services of the Episcopal Church were first held at McLean he showed no partiality for them, although he generally attended. Examination, re- flection and the reading of Dr. Chapman's sermons led him to believe it his duty to umite with the Episcopal Church. The Society with which he had been connected gave him (with only one dissenting vote) a general letter of dismission. I mention it, not as of any importance to the Church,
but as a rare instance of lenity and for- bearance. The grandfather of this same Mr. Bradley was excommunicated by the Congregationalists in Massachusetts for joining the Episcopal Church." On the evening of this same day the Bishop made his first visit to McLean, preaching in the Baptist Church."
Zion Church, McLean, was incorporated September 23, 1833, and admitted into union with the Convention on October 4th of the same year with the following officers : Samuel Starr and Heber Foot, Church Wardens; Miles Riggs, Alvah Jarvis, Adolphus Jarvis, Richard Lan- ing, Wm. Brabrook, Philo Beers, S. H. Starr, and Erastus Bradley, Vestrymen.
On November 4, 1835, the Rev. N. S. Burgess took charge of the parish in con- nection with Richford, Tioga County. (The Church which was in Richford was afterward moved to Speedsville). His annual salary from McLean was $75.00.
About this time a subscription was circulated to build a Church, but only $500 being pledged the effort was abandoned.
The Rev. Mr. Burgess gave up the charge in October, 1836. The Rev. John Bailey was in charge from October 14, 1837, to June 1, 1838.
He was followed by the Rev. Humphrey Hollis, who remained from September 8, 1839, to October 1, 1840.
During this time the following entry occurs in the Parish Record: "The Rt. Rev. Wm. H. DeLancey, D.D., visited this parish for the first time on May 31st, and preached in the Methodist Church."
The Rev. E. B. Foot, Rector of Calvary Church, Homer, took charge of Zion, McLean, in August, 1842, and devoted one-third of his time to the parish until April, 1843, when he left Homer retaining charge at McLean until October 8, 1843.
13
THE GOSPEL MESSENGER.
The Rev. S. Goodale was the next mis- sionary, from May 19, 1844, until June 21, 1846.
The Rev. Gardner Skinner, residing at Cortlandville, with charge of Homer, also began to devote one-fourth of his time to McLean on March 14, 1847, continuing until April 23, 1848.
At a vestry meeting held on March 2, 1848, it was resolved to proceed "to build a House of Public Worship," the sittings to be forever free.
S. H. Starr, James Foot and Dr. Richard Laning were chosen as building committee.
On April 3rd a site was purchased "on the eastern limb of the village," consisting of 253 rods of land, for which $51.00 was paid.
The first service in the Church was on July 8, 1849, when the Rev. Geo. C. Foot of Moravia, officiated, baptising one adult and four children.
The Church was consecrated by Bishop DeLancey on Tuesday, August 21, 1849. On the same day six persons were con- firmed.
An unusual circumstance is thus re- corded: "Sunday evening, November 18, 1849, the Rev. Chas. E. Phelps from Homer held evening service and preached a matrimonial sermon and married Mr. and Miss -. ">
On April 9, 1849, the vestry accepted from Mr. James Foot a deed of gift convey-
ing the house, buildings, and land con- tiguous to the Church for a Rectory, valued at $400.
The Rev. Geo. L. Foote was the first resident minister. His stipulated salary was as follows: "The use of the house and land of the parish, and the use of eight acres of land adjoining, to be cultivated by the members of the parish, with ten · cords of wood, and not less than $100 in money and as much more as could be obtained on the subscription, together with an outfit of $75.00."
Mr. Foote began his labors April 7, 1850, and remained until March 30, 1856.
Since June, 1901, the parish has been under the care of the Rev. Theodore Haydn, in connection with other neigh- boring missions.
During this period the Church has been beautified by the addition of stained glass windows, also a new Altar with hangings and furniture, all of which are memorials.
Zion Church has always been a small parish, and the future before it seems to be that of most of our little missions in small and decreasing communities. The largest number of communicants reported seems to have been 47, at the close of the Rev. Geo. L. Foote's ministry.
The parish has furnished one priest to the Diocese, the Rev. II. E. Hubbard, of Waterloo, and also a medical missionary to Japan, in the person of Dr. Henry Laning.
