:0 : ST. JOHN'S MISSION, PHOENIX.
An appeal was made in the June num- ber of the GOSPEL MESSENGER to the loyal communicants of the Diocese to kindly assist the members of St. John's Mission, Phoenix, in the erection of a place of worship. It was pointed out that the Church at this time had an opportunity of occupying a larger place in the life of the people of that town. The prospect is nothing more nor less than the extension of the Divinve Institution given us by the

THE GOSPEL MESSENGER.
Son of God as a means whereby the world is to be redeemed. Although only one person outside of the Mission has made a response to the appeal we do not believe that the Church people in this Diocese are disinterested in the missionary work. We believe that they simply have not made it a personal matter. Will you please con- sider that I am writing this to you. A Priest of the Church sent by the Bishop is endeavoring to establish the Church in a town where there are hundreds of un- baptized people. Will you help to do it ? The people at the Mission are working hard to have a Church, and are worthy of being helped. We need in all about $3,500.00. Offerings may be sent to the Rev. Walter E. Jones, 121 Green Street, Syracuse. The fund now stands as follows :

GENERAL NEWS.
On the first day of October the two con- tiguous dioceses of Maryland and Wash- ington, D. C., held Conventions for the purpose of electing Bishops.
Maryland elected the Rev. Arthur S. Lloyd, D.D., General Secretary of the Board of Missions, to be Bishop Paret's Coadjutor, and very few people were sur- prised to learn that within a week he promptly declined; because he quite recently declined three other elections to the episcopate.
Washington having been twice refused by Bishop Brent, elected the Rev. Alexan-
der Mann, D.D., Rector of Trinity Church, Boston, to succeed Bishop Sat- terlec, and he has also declined.
The Rev. Frederick J. Kinsman, D.D., the newly elected Bishop of Delaware in succession to Bishop Coleman, was conse- crated on October 28th, the Feast of St. Simon and St. Jude, in Trinity Church, Wilmington, Delaware.

CONVOCATIONS.
THIRD DISTRICT.
The Fall Convocation of the third dis- trict met in St. Luke's Church, Harpurs- ville, on the last Tuesday and Wednesday of September. Those present were the Archdeacon of the Diocese, the Dean of the district, the Secretary, the Rector of Trinity Church, Binghamton, Grace Church, Elmira; Grace Church, Waverly ; St. Peter's, Bainbridge, and the Rector of the home parish. At the service Tuesday, Evening Prayer was said by the Rev. A. B. Rudd and the Rev. Charles T. Raynor. Addresses were made by the Dean and Secretary.
Wednesday morning there was a celebra- tion at 7:30, the Archdeacon being the celebrant. At 10:30 the Holy Communion was celebrated by the Dean. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Charles T. Raynor. A business session was held after the service. The time was passed in acting on the Revision of the By-Laws of the Con- vocation, the committee appointed on revision reporting through the chairman, the Rector of Trinity Church, Bingham- ton. Several radical changes were made, and the By-Laws adopted are the result of the work of a committee of the okl third and part of the old sixth districts.
The Convocation lunched at th Rectory, after which suitable resolutions of appreciation of the hospitality extended were passed.
The Rector of Grace Church, Elmira. invited the members of the Convocation to be present at the consecration of the new Church in Elmira on November 4th.

The Convocation was glad to welcome to the gathering the Rector of Unadilla and the Rector of Sidney, both of the Diocese of Albany.
CHARLES H. MCKNIGHT, Secretary.
FOURTH DISTRICT.
The regular fall meeting of the Fourth District Convocation was held with St. James' Church, Skaneateles, on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 6th and 7th.

At Evensong, on Tuesday, after the Dean's report he introduced the Rev. Rich- mond H. Gesner, of Christ Church, Os- wego, whose address on the missionary aspects of the Pan-Anglican Congress was most enthusiastic and interesting. On Wednesday morning, after an carly cele- bration of the Holy Communion, a busi- ness meeting was held at nine o'clock.
The Dean reported the addition of $120 to the District apportionment for General Missions, and the revised list prepared by the Executive Committee was read. The following resolutions were passed :
Resolved, That the Dean be invited to visit the mission stations at his con- venience, and arrange for missionary meet- ings from time to time.
That the Archdeacon be invited to speak in each parish and mission station in the District, at least once each year.
That it be recommended to all com- municants of the Fourth District to make a special prayer at noon of each day for the success of missions; that at twelve o'clock each communicant pause in his or her work for a few moments and offer such a prayer, either orally or mentally; that printed copies of such a prayer be furnished to the Clergy.
MESSENGER.
It was also voted that at the next Con- vocation the Dean provide an hour for the discussion of Sunday School work.
At half-past ten o'clock the Holy Com- munion was celebrated by Dean Rose, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Wilson and Arch- deacon Cooke. The preacher was the Rev. James Empringham, of St. Paul's Church, Syracuse.
The members of Convocation and of the Woman's Auxiliary were entertained at luncheon in Odd Fellows' Hall by the ladies of St. James' Parish.
At the afternoon business meeting the usual vote of appreciation was passed for the kind hospitality of the Rector and parish, and the Rev. John T. Rose was congratulated upon the success of his inaugural Convocation, after which a paper on "Homiletics" was read by the Rev. A. H. Grant and discussed by the Clergy and laymen present.

WOMAN'S AUXILIARY.
The recent meeting of the Fourth Dis- trict Branch of the Woman's Auxiliary held October 13th, at Skaneateles, was pronounced by all a most delightful occasion.
In the morning the Auxiliary met with the Convocation at the celebration of the Holy Communion.
The business meeting followed im- mediately after a luncheon served to 190 guests.
Twenty-three parish branches were rep- resented at the meeting by about 170 dele- gates.
After reading her report and assigning work for the Christmas boxes, the Sec- retary, Mrs. R. H. Gesner, gave in a most interesting manner her impressions of the Pan-Anglican Congress.
Miss Jarvis, of Connecticut, gave an address upon the value of Mission Study. Those who heard her were greatly im- pressed by her earnestness.
It is hoped that more attention will be given this year to the study of missions throughout the District by the members of the Auxiliary.
All were unanimous in their expressions

of thanks to the Rector and the ladies of St. James' parish for their cordial hos- pitality.
:0: OBITUARY.
WILLIAM BRUFFEY LATHROP.
At a meeting of the Vestry of Trinity Church, Seneca Falls, N. Y., on Tuesday, October 6th, 1908, the following was adopted and ordered to be spread upon the minutes and a copy sent to the GOSPEL MESSENGER :
Since we last met together, the Great Head of the Church has called one of our number from the Church Militant to the Church Expectant.
William Bruffey Lathrop was elected a member of this Vestry in 1877 and in 1885 became Junior Warden, retaining that office until his death, on Thursday, September 24, 1908.
Althought for some years past the in- firmities of age prevented him from attend- ing the services, his interest and loyalty in the Church of his affection never wavered, but so long as health of mind and body permitted, he was faithful to all the duties of his office, and at the meetings of the Vestry, in his quiet way, assisted much in its deliberations and the carrying out of its plans.
His Rector and associates desire thus to place on record their sense of loss and their appreciation of the services of their de- parted brother.
Grant him, O LORD, eternal rest and may light perpetual shine upon him.
MRS. CATHARINE ROUNTREE HARDING.
On Wednesday night, October 14th, Mrs. Catharine Rountree Harding, wife of the Rev. John R. Harding, D. D., of Utica, departed this life after a long and painful illness. Mrs. Harding was taken with typhoid fever in the latter part of August, and the fever left her with com- plications which were in the end the cause of her death. At her funeral in Trinity Church, Utica, on Saturday, the 17th, besides a congregation of lay people, there was a large attendance of Clergymen in surplices, who came from different places
to manifest sympathy with their afflicted brother and his family. A meeting of these Clergymen was held the same day and a committee appointed by the Bishop to draw upon their own behalf some expres- sion of their feeling. The committee con- sisted of the Rev. Drs. Bellinger and Cod- dington, and the Rev. H. S. Longley and the communication which they sent to Dr. Harding is as follows :
The Rev. John R. Harding, D.D.,
Rev. and Dear Dr. Harding-At a meeting of the Clergy, present at Trinity Church, Utica, on Saturday afternoon, October 17th, 1908, the Bishop of the Diocese appointed us, the undersigned, a ' committee to express to you our sympathy in the deep affliction which has come to you in the death of your wife. All through her long and painful illness our prayers have been offered to God that it would please Him to give her many years of restored health and strength on this earthı. We asked life of Him, and He has given her long life, even for ever and ever.
We know what comfort and support you have been to many others when woes, similar to your present woe, have weighed down their hearts; how you have kept them from spreading a pall over life by the abounding consolation of our Lord Jesus Christ. What God enabled you to be to those stricken mourners, you have already shown us that He is now to you. And we have been bettered by the peace and power and inspiration of your un- clouded, serene Christian faith at this moment of contact with death, not attempt- ing to disguise the awful pain, but realiz- ing that you were closer (than at other times) to the confines of immortality.
On behalf of our Bishop, our brethren of the Clergy, and ourselves, we extend to you our warm and respectful sympathy, remembering that, though in life we are close-knit together, in death we are not long divided.
Faithfully and affectionately yours, W. W. BELLINGER, HERBERT G. CODDINGTON, HARRY S. LONGLEY. Utica, N. Y., October 22, 1908.

THE GOSPEL
MESSENGER.
HISTORY OF ST. PETER'S CHURCH, RED- WOOD, N. Y.
(Subject of Illustration.)
The first time a Clergyman of the Church ever officiated in the village of Redwood was when the Rev. Ferdinand Rogers, of Brownville, N. Y., read the Burial Service over the body of Miss Martha E. Bigelow and baptized a younger brother and sister of the deceased, Novem- ber 15th, 1839.
During the next ten years occasional services were held in the school-house by the Rev. Messrs. Corson, Slack, Starkey and Norton. The first decided steps › toward the organization of a parish were taken in the summer of 1849, when the Rev. William Allen Fiske was sent to take charge of the work in Theresa and Red- wood. The only communicants of the Church residing there then were Mrs. Amelia Bigelow, Mrs. Betsy Slack and Miss Sarah F. Bigelow, now the widow of Albert White. The next summer, how- ever, on July 19th, 1850, the day the cor- ner stone of St. James' Church, Theresa, was laid, Bishop DeLancey visited Red- wood and confirmed a class of ten, viz. : David Slack, Matthew H. Smith, James Wright, Charles Roney, Mrs. Joseph Butterfield, Mrs. John Thompson and the Misses Hannah, Amelia, Mary A., and Alzina Bigelow, thus increasing the num- ber to at least thirteen.
On the 15th of August, 1850, a parish was incorporated by Daniel Parker, Horace Parker, Franklin Parker, Mathew H. Smith, James Wright, Richard Gray and David Slack, to be known in law as "The Rector, wardens and vestry- men of St. Peter's Church in the village of Redwood, County of Jefferson and State of New York." The first vestry consisted of David Slack and Matthew H. Smith as wardens, and Richard Gray, .Joseph Butterfield, Lawrence De Zeng, Charles Clark, Abel Bigelow, James Wright, H. S. White and Josiah Buckbee as vestrymen. Monday in Easter Week was chosen as the date of the annual elec- tion, and the Rev. W. A. Fiske was called
as first Rector of the parish thus organ- ized.
On September 7th, 1850, the vestry decided to erect a Church edifice, and M. H. Smith and David Slack were appointed a building committee.
Through the efforts of Mr. D. Tilton Bigelow, a friend of the Church in Red- wood, the lot on which the Church now stands, six rods wide and reaching from Church to Lake Street, was given and deeded by the proprietors to the parish, and a donation of $200.00 was obtained from Trinity Church, New York City.
Thus encouraged, the Church people and their friends of Redwood and else- where, gave liberally, until enough was secured to erect the Church, which was to be "forever free."
The corner stone was laid by Bishop DeLancey August 7th, 1851, the day on which St. James' Church, Theresa, was consecrated.
The Church was built by Elias Getman, of Redwood, from plans by Mr. Upjohn, of New York, at a cost of $1,400.00.
Mr. Fiske withdrew January 1, 1852, and was succeeded by the Rev. B. W. Whitcher a month later. He held the first services in the Church the following summer, and it was consecrated by Bishop DeLancey in May, 1853. Mr. Whitcher resigned in February, 1854, and was suc- ceeded February 11, 1855, by the Rev. Robert Horwood, who remained until May 6, 1857. During his time the Church was strengthened by cross-beams at the base of the arches to keep them from spreading
The Rev. M. B. Benton had charge from the spring of 1858 till January 1, 1861. The Rev. Dennis Smith came about three months later and remained till his death, September 28, 1863. During his rector- ship the Church received from the estate of the late William Bonney $125.25, which was afterwards expended on repairs.
During the rectorship of the Rev. John Blair Linn, from September 17th, 1865, to August, 1869, the Church was ceiled throughout at a cost of $300.
173
THE GOSPEL MESSENGER.
Mr. Linn resigned in August, 1869, and was followed by the Rev. Francis W. Hilliard, May 20, 1870, to February 2, 1874; Charles A. Wenman, May, 1875, to October 1, 1877, and J. B. Finn October, 1877, to the end of 1879. During Mr. Finn's rectorship the Church was repainted and shingled, and stained-glass windows, mostly memorials, were given, the whole costing some $260.00.
The longest rectorship in the history of the parish was that of the Rev. Geo. G. Perrine, from . September 1, 1880, to October 6, 1892.
In the summer of. 1885 the Church received new seats, a carpet and a coat of paint within and without. January 13, 1890, the spire was blown off above the belfry and the Church somewhat strained. It was rebuilt like that at Theresa, much lower.
About this time the following memorial gifts were added: A walnut Lectern in memory of Mrs. Mary and Mrs. Elvira Smith; kneeling desk in memory of Mil- ton Bigelow; Bible in memory of Mrs. Louisa H. White; and Marble Font in memory of Matthew H. Smith. Mention should also be here made of the bell which bears the inscription, "In Memoriam, Mary A. Bigelow. Died Jan. 3d, 1867.
"Who being dead, yet speaketh."
The Rev. John C. Smiley was Rector from Christmas, 1892, to August, 1901. It was during his time, August 15, 1900, that the parish celebrated its semi-centen- nial anniversay, and a joyful day it was for the little flock who, amid the varying fortunes of the village, had always been loyal and kept the Church free from in- cumbrances.
After Mr. Smiley came the Rev. Messrs. E. T. Evans, D.D., 1901, Henry Knott, 1902, and C. J. Lambert, 1903. Also Rev. F. P. Winne, Autumn of 1903.
The Rev. Thomas Duck took charge Easter Day, April 3d, 1904.
In September, 1904, the care of Alex- andria Bay was added to that of Theresa and Redwood, and since that time Red- wood has had only an afternoon service most of the time. Yet St. Peter's has taken uncomplainingly its portion of atten- tion and done its duty faithfully to the Rector, the Diocese and the Church at large, sometimes giving more for general missions than its apportionment.
During the present rectorship the Church has been again shingled, painted inside and out, and partially recarpeted, and a handsome Bishop's chair given with « the inscription :
"In Memoriam, Henry Kirk White, 1837-1902."
On Easter Monday, this year, a full board of two wardens and eight vestrymen was chosen, the first in several years, and at a special meeting on June 1st, 1908, it was decided to change the time of the annual election to the first Tuesday in Advent, the number of vestrymen to three, and otherwise to conform to the modern State law.
By the will of A. A. Holmes, who died May 29th, 1905, the sum of $1,000 was bequeathed to the parish, the income to be used for the maintenance of services.
This sketch, necessarily brief, gives but the material side of the picture. Through the quiet influence of one or two con- secrated lives from the beginning, the spiritual life of the parish has been above the average and productive of correspond- ingly good fruits.
