OBITUARY.
The Rev. Morgan Dix, D.D., Rector of Trinity Church, New York, died quite suddenly on Wednesday, April 29th, and was buried from the Parish Church the following Saturday, May 2nd. Dr. Dix was in his 81st year, having been born on All Saints' day, 1827, and had been Rector of that great parish for nearly forty-six years. It is probably known to the people of this Diocese generally that the present Bishop of Central New York spent the greater part of his parochial ministry in Trinity Parish, first at Trinity Chapel, and afterwards at St. Agnes' Chapel, and he is happy to bear witness now to the fact that the most cordial rela- tions always existed between the Rector
and himself, and that he has never known any preacher whose sermons were quite so helpful and edifying to him as those of Dr. Dix. The rectorship has been filled since his death by the election of the Rev. William T. Manning, D.D., Vicar of St. Agnes' Chapel.
Mr. E. F. Jewell, Senior Warden of St. John's Church, Oneida, entered into rest on Tuesday, April 28th, and the notice of his death was received too late for inser- tion in our May number. Mr. Jewell had been in poor health for some time and un- able to attend the services of the Church. Fortunately his Rector, the Rev. W. R. McKim, who had been abroad for several weeks, returned in time to officiate at the funeral, which took place at the Church on Thursday, April 30th.
The Rev. Robert G. Quennel, who died in New York on May 7th, was for many years resident in this Diocese, and had several charges here before becoming Rector of Christ Church, Binghamton, which he held from 1885 to 1899. In the latter year he went to New York, and has been connected with the staff of the Church of the Ascension, and also with that of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

TRINITY CHURCH, FAYETTEVILLE, N. Y. (Subject of Illustration.)
But four parishes in Onondaga County antedate in point of organization, Trinity Parish, Fayetteville. On Thursday, December 2nd, 1830, the male members of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Fay- cetteville and vicinity met in the Presby- terian Meeting House in that village for the purpose of organizing a Church. The Rev. James Selkridge presided, and Jacob R. Depuy and Scuyler Pulford were elected Wardens; and Reuben .H. Bangs, Caleb Whitford, Charles Coats, Albert Neely, Abul C. Bliss, William M. Red- field, George L. Taylor and Hicks Worden were elected Vestrymen. The meeting, by resolution, provided that the Church should be known as Trinity Church, in

consideration of a donation by Trinity Parish of New York of $400.00, and windows, doors and Chancel and other furniture for a Church building; which said materials were conveyed from New. York to Fayetteville by canal boat. One of the vestrymen elect giving the use of his boat for that purpose and making the trip himself. A Church edifice was there- after erected calculated to meet the needs of the society, and on September 1st ,1831, Bishop Onderdonk made his first Epis- copal visitation to the parish, consecrating the Church and confirming twelve persons. It was largely through the generosity of Mr. Albert Neely that the parish became free from debt. Mr. Neely served the parish both as Vestryman and Warden. He. subsequently removed to Chicago, where he died in 1857. Upon learning of his death the vestry adopted suitable resolutions in honor of his memory, which were forwarded to the GOSPEL MESSENGER for publication. Mr. Neely was the father of the Rt. Rev. Henry Adams Neely, a former Bishop of the Diocese of Maine.
The following Clergymen served the parish up to the time of the building of the new Church :
The Rev. Messrs. Amos Pardee, James Selkridge, A. S. Hollister, B. Northrup, Jesse Pound, G. B. Engle, Floyd Windsor, J. P. Fenner, J. M. Bartlett, William W. Hickox, M. Gallagher, S. G. Appleton, D. Pise, Jr., I. S. Townsend, Robert Hor- wood, Charles Wells Hayes, Edward Moyses, Henry H. Loring, H. G. Wood, Moses L. Kern and John A. Bowman. The Rev. Mr. Appleton in addition to his regular services at Fayetteville, officiated at Jamesville, Pompey, Bridgeport, Liver- pool and Geddes.
On June 30th, 1870, the vestry author- ized the placing of a contract for the erec- tion of a new edifice; and as a result the present Church building was erected at a cost of $13,000. The building is of gray limestone and the interior furnishings are of black walnut. The Church contains a
number of memorials, including a brass pulpit, altar furnishings and ornaments, several windows and a large tower bell. The window in the Sanctuary was a gift from an organization of men in the parish, and was procured at a cost of $350.00. The first service in the new Church was a celebration of the Holy Communion, July 31, 1871, the Rector, the Rev. John Bayley, officiating, subsequently the Church was consecrated by Bishop Hunt- ington. The Rev. C. H. Gardner suc- ceeded Mr. Bayley as Rector of the parish, and during his incumbency a new organ was installed at a cost of $1,000.00. Since that time the following Clergymen have served the parish. The Rev. Messrs. C. J. Shrimpton, Chas. H. Tindell, G. A. Ott- mann, J. B. Pittman, A. W. Ebersole, Chas. T. Raynor, C. J. Lambert, G. C. Richmond, Ernest Melville and Luther L. Weller, who has been in charge of the parish since July of last year. The Rev. Mr. Melville died very suddenly on the evening of March 6th, 1907, at the homa of George Sisson, one of the vestrymen of the Church, after having attended a mect- ing of the vestry. Mr. Melville was buried from the Church on March 9th, with inter ment in the village cemetery. The Rt. Rev. Chas. T. Olmsted, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese, conducted the service, assisted by several of the Clergy of the Diocese, a number of whom were present.
In addition to the charge of the Fayette- ville parish the Rev. Mr. Weller is also Missionary at Jamesville.
:0 :-
The joy resulting from the diffusion of blessings to all around us is the purest and sublimest that can ever enter the human mind, and can be conceived only by those who have experienced it. Next to the consolations of Divine Grace, it is the most sovereign balm to the miseries of life, both in him who is the object of it, and in him who exercises it; and it will not only soothe and tranquillize a troubled spirit. but inspire a constant flow of good humor, content, and gayety of heart.
