Mr. M. J. Trowbridge, Mr. Charles Stebbins, Jr., and Mr. John V. Needham have acted in the parish as duly appointed lay readers.
St. Peter's is rich in gifts and memor- ials-the Communion Service, with the exception of the paten, was given as a memorial by the children of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stebbins, Sr., upon the occasion of the golden wedding of their parents. The paten was given before the other pieces, and was bought with fifty dollars which was left by John, the young son of
The late Henry Ward Beecher, after attending the Prayer Book Service in one of the Churches of England, wrote as fol- lows to a friend :
"I cannot tell you how much I was affected. I had never had such a trance of worship, and I shall never have such another view until I reach the gate.
"I am so ignorant of the Church Service that I cannot tell the various parts by their right names, but the portions which most affected me were the prayers and responses which the choir sang. It seemed as though I had not heard with my ear, but with my whole soul. I was dissolved : my whole being seemed to be wafted gratefully toward God. The Divine presence arose before me in wondrous majesty, ineffable gentleness and goodness, and I seemed irresistably yet gently drawn toward God. My soul, then didst thou magnify the Lord and rejoice in the God of thy salvation."- Pulpit of the Cross.

It is a matter of much regret to the Bishop and many of the Clergy in the Diocese, that by some mistake the offerings for the benefit of the Aged Clergy and tho Widows and Orphans of Clergymen were not forwarded to the Treasurer of the General Clergy Relief Fund until a very recent date. The Trustees of that fund have been exceedingly generous to our beneficiaries, and have made it quite mani- fest that we have gained a good deal by the merger of our diocesan fund with that of the general Church. It is, therefore, particularly to be regretted that any mis- understanding should have arisen about the forwarding of offerings, but the Clergy may be sure that great effort will be made to avoid any such mistake in future, and we trust they will not allow it to dampen the interest of the people in this important work.

STUDIES IN THE PRAYER BOOK.
With regard to Holy Baptism it is well known that the large majority of Christ- ians baptize infants. We will not attempt at this time to give all the arguments in favor of that custom; let it suffice to say that the Old Testament institution by which the children were made members of the covenant, and our Lord's own words, "except any one be born again of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God," give the scriptural authority for the custom which the Church has practiced from the earliest times. The fact that Christ said, "he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved," does not necessarily imply that faith on the part of the person baptized is absolutely essential before the Sacrament can be received. because the faith of the parents and the sponsors is sufficient for the time, until the child shall come to the age when he can exercise faith himself. And that is the
148
THE GOSPEL
MESSENGER.
promise which the sponsors make, that the baptized child shall "believe all the articles of the Christian faith."
But here it is very important to observe, that the child can keep this promise only on condition that he be taught what the faith is. That is the charge which the Minister of Baptism is required to give to the sponsors after it has been administered. "You must remember that it is your parts and duties to see that this child be taught, so soon as he shall be able to learn, what a solemn vow, promise, and profession he has here made by you." It is a very serious responsibility, therefore, which sponsors take upon themselves, and it is sad to think that the habit of neglecting it has grown upon us in this generation, and that we act as if we expected the children to imbibe their religious instruction from the atmos- phere, or some other source which may happily relieve us of the trouble of giving it. This is a matter that is disturbing the authorities of the Church a good deal in these days, and our attention has been . recently called to the fact that Infant Baptism should not be administered where it is doubtful that the proper teaching will follow it; and those resolutions of the Lambeth Conference published in this number of the MESSENGER will show how the minds of the assembled Bishops are exercised on the subject of the careful religious instruction of the children of. the Church. It would alınost seein as if some people thought it as well to let religion go, in the teaching of the young; but, in spite of the many failures to follow the instruc- tions of childhood, the scriptural rule of training up the child still remains correct.

PAROCHIAL NOTES.
For some time past monthly services have been held at St. Timothy's Church, Brookfield, by the Archdeacon and the Chenango County Missionary alternately. It has now been arranged to send a Lay Reader there once a month in addition, thus giving them two services each month.
The Mission at Groton, Cayuga Co., now under the charge of the Rev. Wm. S. Stevens, Rector of St. Matthew's, Moravia, has recently changed its name from "Trinity" to "St. Ambrose."
The Church people at Mt. Upton have come to the conclusion that it will not be wise for them to undertake the building of a Church at present. If they build at all they will have a structure in the form of a Guild House, or something of that kind, which can be easily turned to other uses in the event of a falling off in mem- bership. This accords with the advice given by the Bishop of the Diocese a year or more ago.
In our July number we published an appeal from the Rev. Theodore Haydn, Missionary in charge of St. Paul's Church, Lafargeville, for assistance in certain necessary repairs and improvements to that Church. By mistake that appeal was printed under the head of "Syracuse Items."
Mr. Haydn now reports that he has received in response the sum of $202.00.
Grace Church, Cortland, of which the Rev. Warren W. Way is Rector, was closed during the summer months for re- pairs, and for certain very considerable improvements which the Rector and people have had in contemplation for some time.
In May last a handsome triple-light win- dow, representing the Good Shepherd, and in memory of Miss Ann Eliza Bauder, was unveiled. When the Church was re-opened in September the chancel window had been removed and a correct and artistic carved oak altar, reredos and wainscoting were in place. Also new oak floors and steps were laid. Handsome new oak choir-stalls re- placed the old ones ; a new brass altar rail of beautiful design added; also new Clergy stalls and prayer desk. The chancel is lighted with electricity and newly cush- ioned, and the walls and ceiling have been colored throughout the Church.
The floor of the Church was stained

afresh and new carpet laid. New solid oak doors have been ordered for the vesti- bule. All these churchly and valuable im- provements are the work of a loyal and united congregation.
The altar and reredos are memorials to the Rev. James A. Robinson and wife. Mr. Robinson was Rector of the parish from 1875 to 1885.
The altar rail is a memorial to Bishop Huntington, and the brass alms-basin to Miss Alma O'Brien.
All the work within the sanctuary was done by Oscar Luethe, and both in design and appearance is highly satisfactory and appropriate.
The choir stalls and triple-light window were furnished by R. Geissler, and add greatly to this now appropriate and hand- some chancel.
The oak floor was donated by the Sunday School. One bequest, one generous gift and many smaller ones have enabled this favored parish to enjoy these permanent and extensive improvements.
The two following items are taken from The Parish Outlook, of Zion Church, Rome, the Rev. Douglas Matthews, Rector :
"During the month of August while the Church was closed a number of needed repairs were made. Several places in the ceiling were repainted, a leak in the roof over the chancel was mended, a new wood furnace was bought and has taken the place of the old one on the right side of the
consolation recently to learn that while some of our people have praised the com- fortable temperature of a neighboring Protestant Church because it is always well heated, some members of that particu- lar congregation have been envying the "even sufficient heat of Zion Church." So wags the world. "Distance lends enchant- ment."
"Recently a Memorial Tablet was placed on the west wall of Zion Church with the following inscription :
In Memory Peter Quintard White, Born May, 1796, Died December, 1863. Harriet Tubbs, His Wife, Born September, 1801, died August, 1831. Peter Quintard White, was one of the incorporators of Zion Church in 1825 And a member of its first vestry.
This tablet is erected in 1908 in loving memory by their son, Peter White, of Mar- quette, Michigan."
DIOCESAN ITEMS.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL ADVENT OFFERING.
The committee having this in charge recommend to the Rectors and Superin- tendents of the Sunday Schools of the Diocese that they promote the Offering in Church. The old wood furnace has been . their respective schools for St. Philip's in as long as the Church has stood and Church, Syracuse, during this Advent. The amount received, up to $200.00, the ap- propriation for that mission, will be sent in to the Treasurer of the Diocese as a designated offering, and the remainder for Diocesan Missions. when it was taken down it was something of a curio, riddled with cracks and holes, through which the smoke last winter did not hesitate to find its way-to the annoy- ance of the congregation. In fact last winter we had many trials and tribulations It is hoped that every school have part in the Offering this year. The committee ask that the authorities notify that member of the committee, who represents the District. of the number of boxes required. If this is done immediately the work of the com- mittee will be greatly facilitated, and the expense account of the Offering lessened. in connection with the heating of the Church, which this coming season will not annoy us. Storm windows are to be placed all along the east side of the building, and the chilly members of the congregation may take comfort in the promise that they will be kept warm. It was something of a
150
THE GOSPEL
MESSENGER.
The members of the committee are:
J. C. JAGAR, Watertown, H. N. HYDE, Syracuse, H. E. HUBBARD, Waterloo, W. R. McKIM, Oneida,
W. E. TANNER, New Berlin.
Mr. Mark Levy, a Hebrew Christian lay- man, and a member of the General Con- vention Commission on the subject of Hebrew Christianity, has been licensed to speak on that subject in the Churches of this Diocese, when a special occasion can be arranged for him by the Clergy. Notice must be given before- hand, on the previous Sunday, if possible, or at least by a newspaper adver- tisement, and at the time of his address the Rector should make a few preliminary remarks, explaining the purpose of his coming before introducing him to the con- gregation. It is preferable to have such an occasion in the evening.
At the request of the Commission having charge of the $5,000,000 Pension Fund for the General Clergy Relief, a committee has been appointed for conference in this Diocese as follows : The Rev. Messrs. Francis W. Eason and Douglas Matthews, and Messrs. H. B. Hubbard, L. S. Hoskins and F. P. Taber. The duties of the com- mittee will be indicated to them by the Chairman of the Commission, and will consist chiefly of advising and assisting him in the plans adopted by the Commis- sion.
The Bishop has appointed the Rev. W. R. McKim, Rector of St. John's Church, Oneida, a member of the committee on the Advent Sunday School Offering, in place of the Rev. E. F. H. J. Masse, who has re- moved from the Diocese.
A QUIET DAY.
Several of our Clergy have had under consideration for some time the organizing of a Parochial Missions Society for work in the Diocese. It is their desire especially to aid in the much needed work of arous-
ing new life in the decayed parishes and missions about the country. At the recent Convention in Syracuse some eight or ten of them conferred together on the subject, and requested the Bishop of the Diocese to hold a Quiet Day for them in St. John's Church, Oneida. The Bishop agreed to do so, and on Thursday, September 24th, the plan was carried into operation. Only five Clergymen were present besides the Bishop, several of those who wanted to come being unavoidably detained. After the exercise's were over the Clergy held a meeting and organized a society, the details of which will be published in the next issue of the MESSENGER.

GENERAL NEWS.
The Treasurer of the Board of Missions, Mr. George C. Thomas, and the special Sunday School Agent, the Rev. Dr. Her- man L. Duhring, announce that the Lenten Offering from 3,617 schools has amounted to $136,896.30.
It will not be forgotten that the Annual Convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew is to be held in Milwaukee this month from the 15th to the 18th. We trust that the chapters in this Diocese will be as fully represented as possible.
It will also be remembered that a Week of Prayer is to begin on Advent Sunday, for which we published certain suggestions last month. This is intended particularly for men, that they may be aroused to a sense of their duty in the matter of relig- ion; and it is hoped that the Clergy will do all that they can to promote its useful- ness, for which end preparation is neces- sary.
The American Church and the Church of England Sunday School Institute has appointed St. Luke's Day, Sunday, October 18th, and Monday, the 19th, as days of intercession in behalf of Sunday Schools. The committee in charge of the matter make the following suggestions, some of which they trust may be found practicable, viz. :
151
THE GOSPEL MESSENGER.
1. A Special Celebration of the Holy Communion for the teachers, with an ad- dress.
2. A Devotional Meeting for the teachers on Sunday, and on Monday a similar meet- ing, to which the parents of Sunday School scholars, and the congregation generally, may be invited.
3. Sermons by the Clergy, showing the importance of Sunday School work, invit- ing parochial interest in it, and the per- sonal help of all duly qualified persons (especially young men of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew) as teachers, and pointing out to the parents of scholars how they may further the teacher's efforts.
The first of the days might be observed as "Sunday School Sunday," and a special children's service made one of the features of the proceedings.
Bishop Brent, of the Philippines, has decided to decline his second election to the diocese of Washington. He came back to this country to see his physician, and having been assured that his ailment was not chronic, he adhered to his first resolu- tion to remain in his mission field.
The Rt. Rev. James Carmichael, D.D., Bishop of Montreal, died very suddenly on September 21st. He suffered an attack of heart disease after preaching in the Cathedral the day before, and passed away in less than twenty-four hours. Bishop Carmichael was an eloquent preacher and had great influence in his diocese and throughout the Canadian Church.
Miss Sybil Carter, better known as Deaconess Carter, was taken ill on a rail- road train when on her way to her home in Yonkers, and had to be removed to a hotel in New London, Conn., where she died on August 28th. Miss Carter was well known in various parts of the country through her interest and activity in the spread of the lace industry among Indian women, in which, as noted in The Spirit of Missions, though it was no easy matter,
she was "eminently successful." She was born in Louisiana in 1842.
The people of the Church, who have been aware of and lamented the difference here- tofore existing between the Bishops of the American and English Churches in China, will be glad to know that they have agreed upon a plan of arranging their respective jurisdictions, which it is hoped will prove to be permanent.
PERSONALS.
The Rev. E. F. H. J. Masse, until recently Rector of St. Luke's Church, Utica, whose call to the Chaplaincy at Peekskill, was referred to before, decided to adhere to his first decision, and gave up his work in Utica after the first Sunday in September. Since then the Rev. Louis E. Daniels, Rector of. Calvary Church, Toledo, Ohio, has been officiating at St. Luke's.
The Rev. John Henry Wilson, now taking a special course of study at Cornell University, and licensed to officiate in this Diocese, is to have charge of the Missions at Candor, Spencer and Van Etten, made vacant by the removal of the Rev. E. C. Hoskins to Windsor.
During the past summer five of our Postulants for Orders, who are studying at Seminary or College, were at work in the Diocese reading service, and keeping up the life of the Church in several of our Missions, viz. : W. Frank Allen at Slater- ville Springs, Ernest J. Hopper at Mexico, Geo. St. John Rathbun at Spencer and Van Etten, Francis H. Smith at Candor. and Chas. H. L. Ford at Whitney Point and Chenango Forks.
Mr. Leo T. Wilcox, student at Hobart College, who held services at Romulus last winter, will be the Lay Reader at Kendaia this year, and Mr. Lewis E. Ward, who has also entered the college this fall, will serve at Romulus till further notice.

THE GOSPEL
MESSENGER.
The Rev. Frederick S. Eastman, whose call to St. Stephen's Church, New Hart- ford, was noted in our last issue, has accepted, and will take charge of his new work the first of this month.
