ST. JAMES CHURCH, SKANEATELES, N. Y. (Subject of Illustration.)
Among the parishes of the Diocese whose history covers a century or therabouts is the parish of St. James at Skaneateles, N. Y. Its early history is intimately connected with that of the village itself, which was first settled by a few English families of culture and refinement, whose devotion to the Church has borne fruit in the founding of the parish. It was through the efforts of these people that the first Church services were read in Skaneateles in 1803, and also more or less regularly from that time on until 1828, during which interval, in 1816 the parish of St. James was incorporated, seventeen years before the incorporation of the village itself.
From this time until 1828 the parish was dependent on the ministrations of visiting clergymen and missionaries, and was often cared for by the Clergy of St. Peter's Church, Auburn, another old neighboring parish.
MESSENGER.
The first Church building in Skaneateles was erected in 1827 through the exertions of a few faithful Churchmen, and was conserated in 1828 by Bishop Hobart, who often visited the parish. The building was constructed of wood, was small, and its furnishing was arranged according to the peculiar fashion of the day. It contained the old fashioned box pews, those in front at the sides of the Church were arranged with seats on three sides of the space in- closed, with a table in the center for prayer books. The pulpit was high in the center of the chancel, with the reading desk below, and the altar still below the desk, after the manner of the "three-decker" arrangement at that time quite common. A semicircular communion rail inclosed the altar. The building was used with various improve- ments and alterations until 1873, when the present Church was built. The new build -; ing constructed of stone, and for its day built on remarkably churchly lines, was constructed in 1874, by Bishop Hunting- ton, and is situated as its prerecessor was, on one of the most beautiful spots on the shore of Skaneateles Lake. It contains many handsome memorials, the most con- spicuous among these being possibly the new sanctuary which was recently built and furnished with a fine altar and high reredos.
The parish became self-supporting in 1839, and since that time has had ninc rectors, among whom are the names of several men well known and revered throughout the Diocese and the Church. The first of these was the Rev. Joseph T. Clarke, who had served the parish as a missionary for several years before 1839. His name stands out especially upon the list because of his faithful services at a time when St. James' Church was under- going a struggle for existence. He served the parish as a Rector for fourteen years, and will always be remembered as a de- voted Priest and a saintly character. He came of a family which has given many priests to the Church, who have become well known in the Diocese. In 1845 he was succeeded by the Rev. Charles Sey-

mour, who continued his work until 1851, when he was followed by the Rev. A. C. Patterson, who had come into the Church from the Unitarians only a short time before. His incumbency continued until 1859, and was followed by an interregnum, during which the parish was cared for by the Rev. R. O. Page, Dr. Henry Gregory, and his brother, Rev. Almon Gregory. In 1860 the Rev. Edward Moyses became Rector of the parish, and continued his work until 1866. His successor was the Rev. R. M. Duff, D.D., whose successful work continued until 1872. During his incumbency the parish showed a marked growth in spiritual and material results, and he will always be remembered with gratitude and affection.
The next Rector was the Rev. Thomas Smith, who remained in charge for two years. He was followed in 1874 by Rev. John A. Staunton, whose rectorate con- tinued until 1880, when he was succeeded by Rev. Cyrus P. Jennings, M.D. Owing to failing health Dr. Jennings was obliged to surrender the care of the parish in 1884, and was followed by the present Rector, at that time in his Diaconate, the Rev. Frank N. Westcott.
The membership of St. James' parish numbers at present about three hundred, nearly one-fifth of the population of the village, and presents the comparatively rare spectacle of being much the strongest and most influential ecclesiastical organiza- tion in the town. The Church is out of debt, and is one of the foremost among the country parishes of the Diocese in its con- tributions to missions. Its teaching and worship is of a Catholic character, and the parish as a whole has been singularly har- monious and united.

Tired ! Well, what of that ?
Didst fancy life was spent on beds of ease, Fluttering the loose leaves scattered by the breeze ?
Come, rouse thee, work while it is called to-day;
Coward, arise! go forth upon thy way.
Lonely ! And what of that ?
Some must be lonely ; 'tis not given to all To feel a heart responsive rise and fall, To blend another life into its own ;
Work may be done in loneliness, work on.
Dark ? Well, what of that ?
Didst fondly dream the sun would never set ?
Dost fear to lose thy way ? Take courage yet !
Learn thou to walk by faith and not by sight ;
Thy steps will guided be and guided right.
Hard ! Well, what of that ?
Didst fancy life one summer holiday
With lessons none to learn and naught but play ?
Go, get thee to thy task ! Conquer or die ! It must be learned! learn it, then, patiently.
No help ? Nay, 'tis not so !
Though human help be far, thy God is nigh,
Who feeds the ravens, hears His children cry ;
He's near thee, wheresoe"r thy footsteps roam,
And HE will guide thee, light thee, help thee home.
Willingness to sin, even to consider sin, may be as disastrous as the open act of sin itself. For all sin is a fatal poison ; it is death-dealing; and when we welcome or tolerate the mental suggestion of a sin we are drawing into our veins that which nothing but the miracle-healing power of Christ can undo. Indeed, the unacted sin with which a man dallies as he contem- plates its possibility has a harmfulness all its own; the very fact that it exists in thought alone frees a man from the keen remorse of the open act, and lulls him into a fancied and false sense of safety, while it is nevertheless polluting and poisoning the springs of his being. Christ made this very plain when ranked the sinner-in- though alongside the sinner-in-deed. What an awfully subtle Enemy, we have .- S. S. Times.

THE GENERAL CONVENTION.
The Convention of 1907 in Richmond, will stand out in history as one of the ust remarkable that has ever been held n he American Church. It is not only h
it celebrated the 300th anniversary of h planting of the Church in this country is not only that it was honored by the rence of the Bishop of London, the Rt. le. Secretary of the S. P. G., and other
English and Canadian prelates-it is not only that, through the increase in the Episcopate and of the Dioceses, the attendance was very large-but it is because of the enthusiasm, the mis- sionary interest, and the spirit of good will and brotherly concord through many delicate situations, which were manifested so abundantly, as well as for some of its legislative acts, that this Convention will be remembered as a very noteworthy gathering. St. Paul's Church, "Richmond, is a large building, with six rows of pews, and it was entirely occupied, except the last pew in each row, by the House of Deputies; while the House of Bishops, for whose use the Governor of the State most kindly opened the Hall of the House of Delegates in the Capitol, com- fortably filled that place also, each Bishop having the seat and desk of one of the legislators of Virginia. St. Paul's Church also has large galleries on three sides, and these were occupied every day by large numbers of visitors, interested in the pro- ceedings of the House of Deputies.
We expressed the hope a month or two ago that, whatever else the Convention might do, it would give attention to the pressing missionary interests and needs of the Church. That hope has been fully realized. It was really inspiring to see the large attendance at all the missionary gatherings, whether in the joint sessions of the two Houses assembled to hear the Missionary Bishops tell their story, or at other assemblies in the Auditorium or in the several Churches of the city, where other missionaries were invited to speak of their work and its requirements. The places were filled with people, who stayed through to the end, and listened earnestly to hear what was said; and if any man spoke beyond the half hour allotted to him, and was stopped by the Chairman, cries would come from all over the house, "Go
164
THE GOSPEL MESSENGER.
on ! Go on !" and somebody would move that his time be extended. The true spirit of the Gospel of Christ seemed to pervade the crowds, and to enable them to realize that the extension of the Kingdom among all men was the primary object of the Church's existence. They were hearing from the broad plains of our western States and territories-they were hearing from the populous nations of the Orient, from China, Japan, and the Philippine Islands-they were hearing from Africa and Hawaii, from Mexico, Brazil and Porto Rico-and their minds were drawn away from the narrow bounds of their own diocesan and parochial organizations at home, and enabled to understand that there is something larger, grander, and more noble going on in the world than merely their own personal salvation-and, if they never realized it before, they seemed to realize it then and there, that they must have some personal interest and share in the doing of it. It was a fit occasion for the conversion of those who have been in the habit of saying, "We take no interest in missions"-and if we are not mistaken, there were some that were so converted, and we only wish that their number could be multiplied.
The presence of the Bishop of London, both at the laying of the Foundation Stone of the Cathedral of Washington and at the General Convention in Richmond, was one of the pleasant and interesting features of those occasions. His cheerful smile, always ready to break out upon his face, his cordial, democratic and easy manner, and the simple but effective words that fell from his lips, attracted all who saw and heard him. He spoke in the most natural and matter of fact way of the unbroken continuity of the Church of England, illustrating it from the facts which exist in his own surroundings at home. "I hear," he said, "that some people in America think that the Church of England was started by Henry VIII. The most effective reply to such a mistake as that is the fact, that my predecessors in the See of London have lived without a break
in the palace at Fulham for the las thirteen hundred years. The frogs in th moat at Fulham know better than that and the jackdaws in the steeple of it Church are laughing at such an idea !' And as for the Bishop's sermon at th opening service of the Convention, it i one that ought to be read by everybody, a showing what the Church must be tha hopes to become the Church of the nation.
The social functions during the Cor vention were numerous, and, though the were very much enjoyed, some of then took a good deal of time and added to th superfluity of engagements of all kind that pressed upon the members. Centra New York was quite largely represente in Richmond outside the Convention, an the Bishop had it in mind to get togethe for an afternoon reception all who cam from this Diocese; but the difficulty o finding the proper place and time, and o ascertaining the addresses of all our people was such that he decided not to attempt it The Lay Deputies of the Diocese, however made use of the intermissions between morning and afternoon sessions, to enter . tain the Bishop and other Deputies & luncheon, or else at dinner between after noon and evening; and thus they wer brought together four times for socia intercourse among themselves. Amon those present in the city from this Dioces were the Rev. and Mrs. Karl Schwart: the Rev. James K. Parker, the Rey and Mrs. R. H. Gesner, the Rev. A. I Byron Curtiss, the Rev. W. R. McKin the Rev. E. B. Mott; Mrs. Olmsted, an Mrs. Coddington, Mrs. Longley, Mr Clarke, Mrs. Andrews and Mrs. Flowe wives of the Deputies; Mrs. Irish, Mr Goodale, and Miss Cornell, Diocesa officers of W. A .; Miss Jackson, of Syr: cuse, Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Mullen, ( Watertown, Miss Holmes, of Redwood and probably others.
It is probably already known to all ( our readers, through the secular an weekly religious newspapers, what t}
165
THE GOSPEL MESSENGER.
United Offering of the W. A. and the Men's Thank Offering amounted to; but ve will repeat it as a matter of record and f history. The Women's Offering was resented first, on the second day of the ession as usual, and the sum as first an- ounced was $222,353.35. It was after- vards said that it would probably be made up to a quarter of a million. The Men's Offering came on October 9th, the seventh lay of the session, and was first announced s $760,213.12 ; but was at once made up o $775,000, so that with that of the vomen the grand total was a round milion. The men's contribution from this Diocese vas $3,109.62, while that of the women vas $5,241.00. Considering that the vomen have been giving thank offer- ngs every three years, and have done so plendidly this time, it was hardly gracious r opportune to say, as some one is reported o have said, when speaking of the men's ffering, that "the women were entirely barred out." Perhaps, as an offset to that t may not be amiss to repeat another witty emark, that "the "children make an offer- ng every year, the women every three ears and the men once in three hundred ears !" However, we have made a begin- ing of corporate action by the men, and hough the first result is not all that might have been expected, it is possible to hope hat the work will be continued, and that he men of the Church will go on working ogether in a definite and systematic way or the extension of the Kingdom of God.
STUDIES IN THE PRAYER BOOK.
In considering the Daily Offices, that s to say, Morning and Evening Prayer, ve omitted to speak of the binding obliga- ion of the due order of those services as hey are arranged. Is it not manifest that he Clergy, not excepting the Bishops, have o authority to alter or to re-arrange that rder ? It is the evident intention of the Church, for example, that a portion both of the Old and of the New Testaments hall be read at both of those services ; and no indication is given by rubric or other- vise that either of those Lessons from Holy
Scripture may be omitted at the option of the Minister. In case Evening Prayer has already been said in the afternoon, then it is permissible to have a shortened form of it with one Lesson and one Can- ticle, but the regularly appointed service must precede such an abbreviation. We have never come across it in our own Diocese, but in other places we have seen the shortened form used for the only even- ing service of the day, prefixed to quite a long sermon. The question naturally arises in such cases, would it not be better to give two or three minutes more to the reading of God's Word, and let the sermon be correspondingly abbreviated ? In case the full service is to be said in the evening, it would be quite within the spirit of the law to have the shortened form in the afternoon, if for any reason such a thing should be desirable. The intention of the Church is plainly this, that the whole service with both Lessons should be the rule at that hour when the congregation is in the habit of assembling, especially on Sunday. On week days a more lax inter- pretation of the law might be allowed if necessary ; but even then it should be con- sidered an exception proving the rule.
All this applies, of course, to the regular order and worship of the Church. In the matter of occasional services, missionary or otherwise, naturally variations may be adopted to meet the need. These stately forms of Morning and Evening Prayer are not edifying to those who are strangers to the Church, nor to the illiterate, until they shall have been educated to appreciate and understand them-but to the children of the Church the two Lessons ought never to be overmuch Scripture.
PAROCHIAL NOTES.
TRINITY CHURCH. SYRACUSE. Rev. H. N. Hyde, Rector .- The Sunday School and parish societies connected with this Church have entered upon their fall work with new life and with large enthusiasm. Efficient and energetic superintendents of the Sunday School have been appointed in the persons of Mr. Thomas M. Nalton for

the advanced department, and Mrs. George C. North for the primary department. Both are thoroughly interested workers and bring with them talents which will go far to popularize the school and inspire both teachers and pupils.
Trinity Guild has elected officers for the new year and has entered upon a busy season of work and lecture courses. The ladies meet for sewing every Wednesday, and the whole membership meets once a month for intellectual and social benefit. On October 7th the Rector gave an address describing the work and methods of St. George's Church, New York. For the current year Mr. Thomas M. Nalton was elected president, Mr. George C. North, vice president, Mr. G. H. Giddings, sec- retary, and Mr. Stuart M. Carroll, treasurer.
The Men's Club met on the evening of October 21st at the home of the retiring president, Dr. Wm. H. Maynard. Twenty- six men were present to hear a thoughtful speech by the Rev. Dr. Mundy on the true conception of education as being a life- long process. The career of Josiah Wedgewood, the English potter, was used with telling effect to bring out the speaker's point. Mr. Frank C. Venner was elected president for the year, Mr. J. A. Frank Neal, vice president, Mr. L. F. Tifft, sec- retary, and Mr. Charles Fessenger, treasurer.
On Sunday, October 20th, owing to ill- ness in the Rector's family, the services in Trinity Church were conducted by the Rev. George F. Plummer, of the Diocese of Salt Lake, now residing in Geneva, N. Y.
