DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLESOF THE

REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCHADOPTED DECEMBER 2ND, 1873.

I.The ReformedEpiscopal Church,holding “the faith once

deliveredunto the saints,” declares its belief in the HolyScripturesof the Old andNewTestamentsas the Word of God,and the sole Rule of Faith and Practice; in the Creed“commonly called the Apostles’ Creed;“ in the Divine institu-tion of the Sacramentsof Baptism andthe Lord’s Supper;andin the doctrinesof gracesubstantiallyas they are set forth inthe Thirty-nine Articles of Religion.

II.This Church recognizesand adheresto Episcopacy,not as

of divine right, but as a very ancient and desirableform ofchurch polity.

III.This Church, retaining a Liturgy which shall not be

imperativeor repressiveof freedomin prayer, acceptsthe Bookof Common Prayer, as it was revised, proposed, and recom-mendedfor use by the GeneralConventionof the ProtestantEpiscopal Church,A. D. 1785, reserving full liberty to alter,abridge, enlarge,and amend the same, as may seem mostconduciveto the edification of the people, “provided that thesubstanceof the faith be kept entire.”

Iv.This Churchcondemnsand rejects the following erroneous

andstrangedoctrinesas contrary to God’s Word:First, That the Church of Christ existsonly in one order

or form of ecclesiasticalpolity:Second,That Christianministers are “priests” in another

sensethan that in which all believersare “a royal priesthood:“

Third, That the Lord’s Table is an altar on which theoblation of the Body and Blood of Christ is offered anew tothe Father:

Fourth, That the Presenceof Christ in the Lord’s Supperis a presencein the elementsof Breadand Wine:

Fifth, That Regenerationis inseparably connectedwithBaptism.

PHILADELPHIA, PA., May 21, 1930.

MORNING SESSION.

The Twenty-sixth General Council of the ReformedEpiscopal Church convened in the Memorial Church of OurRedeemer,Tenth andRocklandStreets,Philadelphia,Pa.,Rev.Dr. William A. Freemantle,Rector, on Wednesday morning,May 21, 1930,at 10.30. Therewas a large attendance.

The opening service was a celebrationof the Iloly Com-munion. PuesidingBishop Robert L. Rudolph,D.D., presided,and was assistedby Bishops Frank Vaughan, D.D., RobertWestly Peach,D.D., andthe Rev. Messrs.E. J. S. Sonne andJoseph E. Kearney. The service ol)ened with the singing of“The Church’s One Foundation.” The sermon was preachedby Bishop Frank Vaughan,D.D., of the FreeChurch of Eng-land. Taking as his text, “By faith the walls of Jerichofelldown, after they were compassedabout sevendays,” Hebrews11: 30, thepreacherset forth that the greatthemeof this Epistleis the living presenceof Christ in His Church as Priest andKing. Lie exhortedus not to be carried away by (livers andstrangeteachings,but to haveour heartsestablishedwith grace.During his argumentfor the recoveryof faith, be recalledtheCbnrch of the Israelites meeting entirely new conditions, andiiow facingits Jericho,and declaredby faith the falls of Jerichofell down. We were asked to note the historic fact, and thepreacherstatedthat the excavationon this siteprovedthe truthof the statementthat the wall fell down in its place. One isremindedof many historic scenesin the history of l~rotestantreforms,wherethis old picturefinds amplereflection,andamongsuchwasthe gatheringassembledin NewYork fifty-seven yearsago,foundingaChurchin defenceof individual liberty, apostolicchurchmanshipandProtestantevangelism. Thepreachercalledattention to the power at work—it wasby faith. The story of

16 Twenty-sixth General Coandl, [First Day,

reformationhistory is the story of the mighty power of faith.Thepreachercalledattention to the presentconditionsthat haveto be faced. Modern religions life has mergedinto two mainstreams,the one fostering the sacerdotaland sacramentalidea,and the other enthroning intellectual acquisitivenessabovetheauthority of Scripture. The Council was called to reflect uponthe task before it. Its work appearsto lie betweenthe twomain streamsof thought to which reference had beenmade.The call today is to high discipline, self-culture and sacrificialservice,in submissivefellowship with God through Christ. Thepreacherinvited ns to reconsecration. The legion of the livinggreetthe legionof our deadin grateful memory. Werecall theirservice. We commemoratetheir achievements. We honor theheritagethey have left us. We dedicateourselvesafreshto thisholy enterprise.

iR ~PORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE REFORMED EPISCOPALPUBLICATION SOCIETY. LTD.

To the TIL-enty—si th General Councilof the Reformed Episcopal Church.

DEAR IinEvrIRm~N:—Sinee the last meetingof Council, your Boardof Trusteeshas held ci~ht meetings,as follows:

-June (i, 1927, the lJoai-d organized, making Bishop RobemtWestlyP ch, D.D., Presideot.and Dr. William A. Freetnantle, Secretary-

May 21, 1930] ReformedEpiscopal Church. 25

Treasurer. It was voted that the Treasurerbe authorizedand directedto designate the Pennsylvania Company for the Insurance on Lives andGranting Annuities as the banker of all the funds of the Society. Itwasvotedto request,authorizeand instruct the Rev. W. Milton Eareck-son to turn over all funds, books of accounts, etc., to the presentTreasurer.

May 15, 1928, it was voted to issue one thousandcopies of thepamphletknown as Jubilee PamphletNo. 2, and also a card entitled,“The Reformed Episcopal Church,” by Bishop Robert XV. Peach,D.D.These matters, with the publication of the Lectionary of the new PrayerBook, were referred to the Secretary,with full power to act. It wasvoted to continuethe insuranceon the plates of the old Prayer Book,now in the custodyof the John C. Winston Company of Philadelphia.

April 10, 1930, Bishop Peachreported it had proved impossibleto carry out either the instructions of the General Council or actionsalready passedby the Trustees. It had therefore been informallyagreedto issue one hundred paper-boundcopies of the proof of thePrayerBook, affecting therebya savingboth in cost and in time. TheBoard unanimously approvedthe action.

The other meetingsof the Board, five in number,were concernedwith an intricate and thorough discussionof the printing of the newPrayer Book. These discussions issued in the conservation of theBoard’s resources, to the end that it might be able to publish theRevised edition of the Book of Common Prayer, and the Board here-with submits to the Council a small edition of trial copies.

Several bids were received, and the contract let to the A. J.Holman Company, Bible Publishers, of Philadelphia. This companyhas shown a fine interest in the work of making a book worthy ofthe title, “The Book of Common Prayer.” After unavoidable delays,so soon as the plates were ready, the Holman Company printed thetrial edition most expeditiously, and made a charge generously low.The company has imported Bible paper from England for the booknow to be printed, and will use the best Interlaken cloth for thebinding. The publishersgave the work of composition to the WilliamF. Fell Company, of Philadelphia, a firm fully equipped and com-petent to put into type a book calling for extraordinary attentionto details and requiring proof reading of exceptionalexactness. Notonly has the Fell Company met these demandssatisfactorily, but ithas kept the cost as low as possible, and maintained an unfailingpatienceand courtesy.

The Treasurer’sReport will show the sourcesof our capital forthe publication of the book. One item calls for special mention,namely, the gift by Mr. Frank W. Miller, Vestryman of EmmanuelChurch, Newark, N. J., and Trustee of the New York and Philadel-phia Synod. Mr. Miller’s splendid gift was intended not only toenableus to publish a sufficiently large edition of the new book, butalso to make it possible to supply our parisheswith books at lessthan actual cost, charging a part of the cost of the plates to future

REPORT OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE OF THESYNOD OF CHICAGO.

To the Twenty-sixthGeneral Councilof the ReformedEpiscopal Church.

DEAR BEETHEEN:—The Standing Committee of the Synod ofChicago reports as follows:

July 27th, 1927.—The Committee requested Presiding BishopRobertL. Rudolph that he appoint Bishop Willard Brewing of Canadato exerciseEpiscopaloversightof the Synod of Chicago in the absenceof a regnlarly-electedBishop.

At this meetingwe were pleasedto receive the petition of RichardL. Sonne, and upon examination of the testimonials presented,recom-mended to the Presiding Bishop the ordination of Mr. Sonne to theDiaconate.

March 29th, 1928.—Bishop RobertL. Rudolph being present toconsider many important matters, the chief of which was the requestof St. Mark’s that the parish be dissolved, it was suggestedthat theparish unite with St. John’s. It wasvotedto requesttheChrist ChurchTrustees to transfer their financial support from St. Mark’s to St.John’s.

June 13th, 1928.—A letter from St. Mark’s Church was received,expressingtheir desireto continuetheir work in the parish, andgivingsuchevidenceof changeof heartand spirit that the Committeeheartilyapprovedtheir decisionto carry on.

June 14th, 928.—A special meeting of the Standing Committeeheld during the Forty-eighth Synodical Council at Ashtabula, Ohio.Bishop RobertL. Rudolph read that portion of his report to the Synodwhich had beenreferred to the Committee,containinghis recommenda-tion that the Council take action with regard to filling the Episcopalvacancy.

May 21,1930] ReformedEpiscopalChurch. 35

June 11th, 1929.—BishopRudolph reportedRev. R. L. Sonnehadcompletedthe examination in a highly satisfactorymanner,and uponmotion the Committee recommendedto the Bishop his ordination asa Presbyter.

Communicationswere read to the meeting from the Rev. XV. E.Clark, Rev. Malcolm T. McCormick, and Rev. E. T. Munns, expressingtheir active interest in the affairs of the Synod.

September 12th, 1929.—The Committee invited members of theBoard of Directors to be presentat this meeting.

A resolution was adoptedmourning the loss of our friend andleader, the Rev. William Russell Collins, D.D.

Reports were heard concerning the condition of affairs at St.Mark’s, St. John’s, and St. Paul’s, which resulted in the followingresolution:

“That it be the unanimousopinion of this Com-mittee and the membersof the Board of Directorspresentthat stepsbe takentoward the amalgama-tion of the Parishesof St. Paul’s, St.Mark’s andSt. John’s, feeling that the joining forces of thepresent faithful members of the three parishes,with the financialhelpthat would result from thesale of two of the properties,one strong Parishcould be createdthat would developrapidly understrong leadership in some locality to be deter-mined later.”

The Secretary, under instructions, transmitted this recommenda-tion to the three Parishesfor their consideration. This resulted ina petition from St. Mark’s Vestry that their churchbe closedand theproperty be offered for sale. St. John’s being without a rector at thetime, could take no action, and St. Paul’s wanted the Committee toconfer with Synodical officers for further consideration.

May 2nd, 1930.—TheCommitteeapprovedtheaction of the Chair-man and Secretaryin recommendingRev. W. L. Clapp as Minister-in-Chargeof St. John’sParish, upon examinationof letters of recommen-dation from the Methodist EpiscopalChurch. It is gratifying to reportthat Rev. Mr. Clapp has done exceptionally fine work in building upthis new Parish in the short time he hasbeen in charge.

A motion prevailedthat the membersof the StandingCommittee,having examinedthe proposedrevisedPrayerBook, expresstheir pleas-ure and appreciationof the splendidwork done by the Committee,andheartily recommendits prayerful considerationby the General Council.

This report covers the important official actionsthat are of inter-est to the Churchat large, andthe Committeerealizes its addedrespon-sibility in the absenceof a Synodical Bishop. It has worked unceas-ingly and untiringly with all officials of the Synod in an endeavortofind ways and meansto bring aboutthe election of a Bishop.

§J’wenly-sixtli GeneralCouncil, [First Day,

EVENING SESSION.

The Evening Sessionbeganat eight o’clock. The eveninghad beenset apartfor the commemorationof the nineteenhun-dredth anniversaryof Pentecost. The service openedwith thesingingof the hymn, “Lead, HeavenlyLight, Illume My Life’sDark Day.” The Office of Worship was conductedby BishopRobert Westly Peach,D.D.

The first speakerwas the Rev. Dr. William A. Freemautle,whosesubjectwas “The Offer of Power.” He presentedthreepropositions:that the Bible wasa Book of SpiritualPowerfromthe first pageto the last; that the life of Christ was dominatedby spiritual power; and that the way to power was down thestairway of humiliation. After the hymn, “Our Blest Re-deemer,”had beensung,the Rev. H. H. Trotter, Rector of theChurch of the Epiphany, Cleveland, spoke of “The Need ofPower.” Thisheset forth againstthebackgroundof the WorldWar and the materialism and unrest of our own time. TheChurch’sneedwas the needof the individual, andthe receptionof power must begin in the heartof eachbefore it could be theglad possessionof all.

The hymn, “Come, Holy Spirit, HeavenlyDove,” havingbeen sung,Bishop Frank Vaughan.D.D., of the Free Churchof England,spokeof “The Gift of Power.” It would beimpos-sible in a few words to set forth the strengthandbeautyof this


message. The Bishop remindedus that the Holy Spirit was allaboutus, givento the Churchneverto be withdrawn. The signsof the Spirit’s presencein the heartwere a quickenedsenseofsin, and a deeperhumiliation becauseof it. No changewasnecessaryin the Spirit, butgreatchangeswerenecessaryin us.Thefervor of the evangelicalappealwithwhich the Bishopclosedhis addressmade its impression on the large congregationpresent.

The meetingwas then thrown open,and the Rev. Messrs.William Culbertson,3rd, Fred. G. Mackenzieand Howard D.Higgins engagedin prayer. Bishop Rudolphspokea few words,and the Doxology and Benedictionbroughtto a closea meetingthat will be memorablein theheartsandlives of thosewho wereprivileged to attend.

The collection,to be equallydividedbetweenthe HomeandForeignMissionaryBoards,amountedto $55.43.

President,Frederick 0. Foxcroft.Vice-President,ThomasJ. Richards.Treasurer,The Provident Trust Companyof Philadelphia.Secretary,Norman S. MeCausland.

Meetings have been held semi-annually, in May and November,in Philadelphia.

In May, 1928, your Board received an unrestrictedlegacyof $500from theEstateof Maria Walker, Lumberton, Burlington County, N. J.The amount was added to the Principal Account of the SustentationFund.

Since the last meeting of the General Council, your Board hasbeenable to increasethe Capital Account of the Widows and Orphans’

Fund by thc snin of $4,000, which amount was transferredfrom incomeof the SustentationFund, making the total capital of tbc Widows andOrpbans Fund at present ~26,500.

In responseto an urgent appeal iii December, 1929, the Boardmade a grant from the Widows and Orphans’ Fund to tbe widow ofthe late Rev. W. W. Winter, Victoria, B. C., of $150 per annum,untilthe next meeting of tbe General Council.

With referenceto the matter of a new issue of the word editionof the Hymnal, the Board consideredit to be inadvisable to attempt areprint until some time after the revision of the Prayer Book wascompletedand had been in usein our parishes.

Regardingthe instruction of the last General Council that thisBoard transfer title to the property of St. Luke’s Church, Charleston,S. C., to the Bishop and StandingCommittee of the Missionary Juris-diction of theSouth,theBoardis of theopinion that, sincethis propertyis held in trust by the Trusteesof the SustentationFund, they haveno powerto conveytitle so long as said churchstill exists. We under-standthat the necessityfor said transfer no longer exists.

Respectfully submitted,NORMAN S. McCAUsLAND, Secretary.

During the threeyearssince the last Council, I visited the Synodof Chicago ten times.

June2nd, 1927, less than two weeksafter the adjournmentof theTwenty-fifth Council, at the invitat.ion of the family, I assistedin theburial serviceof Mr. Hans Christensenat his home in Chicago.

March 25th, 1928, I preachedet a Lenten service in the BishopFallows Memorial Church. Representativeswere present from all theChicago churches.

At the Auditorium Hotel I met for conferencethirty leadersof theSynod. Following the dinner, a meeting of the Standing Committeewas held. Important Synodical mat.terswere discussed. Some of theproblems were solved.

la June, 1928, 1 spentthree weeks in the Jurisdiction; I visitedall the churchesand held conferenceswith the clergy; in four confirma-tion services, forty-one confirmed the baptismal vow.

In March, April, May and June, 1929, I visited the churchesandheld six services,in which forty-nine confessedChrist as their Saviourand Lord.

May 22nd, in the Vestry Room of the Bishop Cheney MemorialChurch, the Rev. Edward J. S. Sonneand the Rev. Dr. Collins assistedme in the examinationof the Rev.Richard LawrenceSonne, Deacon,foradvancementto the Presbyterate. The examination lasted four hoursand was very satisfactory. The candidate was duly recommendedtothe Bishop for ordination. Mr. Sonne was advancedat a service inSt. Andrew’s Church, Chicago, on June 12th, 1929. during the sessionof the Forty-ninth Council of the Synod of Chicago. [ presided overthe Council.

This month, May 11th, 1930, 1 visited Chicago. In the morningI preachedat the BishopFallowsMemorial Church andconfirmedeight;in the evening I visited St. Andrew’s Church and confirmed four.

On Monday evening,the 12th, 1 held a conferencewith theVestryof the Bishop Fallows Memorial Church.

The following days of the week were spent in the First Synodof the Dominion of Canada.

On Sunday, May 18th, last Sunday, I returned to Chicago. Inthe morning I held a confirmation service at the Bishop CheneyMemorial Church. 1 preachedand admitted sixteen into the fellow-ship of the ReformedEpiscopal Church. In the evening, at St. .John’sChurch, sevenwere receivedby the rite of confirmation.

The attendanceat all the churches was large; the signs werepresent of genuine interest in the work of the Church.

It is my present purpose to visit Ashtabula and Cleveland in

connection with the fiftieth Council of the Synod, which is to con-vene in the Bishop CheneyMemorial Church, Chicago, on June 11thand 12th.

October 21st, 1928, at the invitation of I)r. Collins, 1 visitedSt. P~ iihs Church. Chicago. I f)reached in the morning.

In the afternoon at three o’clock I presided at the unveiling ofthe Bishop Falloxvs monument in the Forest home Cemetery, ForestPark. Lllinois. I was assisted by the Rev. Di-. Collins and theRev. Edward ,J. S. Sonne. Ministers were presentin large numbers.Severalhundred other interested friends were in attendance. I madeone of several brief addresses. The final establishment of thismemorial is a~ ~vorthy achievement. Much credit ie due to our dear(leparie(l fellow worker, the Rev. William Russell Collins, D.D., whoseindefatigableefforts securedthe co-operationof the entire Church.

Dr. Collins’ plan is not yet entirely completed. The funds areiii band for the erection of a mural tablet in the Memorial Church.

The monument and tablet are but a feeble expression of thehonor we as a Church would ascribe to tIme memory of Bishop Fal-lows, Rector of Old St. Paul’s Church, tIme second bishop of theSynod of Chicago, and for thirty years Presiding Bishop of theReformedEpiscopal Church of the United States and Canada.

I hereby appoint Mrs. Inez Rodgers Deach, of Chicago, theSecretary-Treasurerof the Bishop Fallows Memorial Fund and withauthority to securethe erectionof the tablet.

CANADA.

lii 1928. 1929 and 1930 1 visited the CanadianSynod nine times,at the invitation of Bishop Brewing, at the request of the Secretaryof the Synod and the Solicitor in Toronto, during Bishop Brewing’sabsence,and later since Bishop Brewing’s withdrawal, as the PresidingBishop in jurisdiction.

March 9th-I3th, 1928,visited EmmanuelChurch,Ottawa; preachedmorning and evenilig in celebration of the fifty-fourth anniversaryofthe founding of the parish. In connectionwith this visit, at the invi-tation of Bishop Brewing, I gave my assistancein confei-enceswiththree different. gioups, in securing an adjustment of the case of ai)eaconagainstthe Synod. Two subsequenttrips were madeto Torontowith a view to the sameend, when finally the end was attained.

August 13th, 1928, 1 visited Toronto for conferencewith BishopBrewing just prior to his departurefor British Columbia.

March 8th-l2th, 1929, visited Ottawa and preachedat EmmanuelChurch during the celebration of the fifty-fifth anniversary of thefoundingof the church.

On Saturdayevening I had a conferencewith the Committee onChurch Extension at the home of the Rev. JosephRobinson. It wasat this meeting that the advantage of union with the Free Church ofEnglandwasfirst discussed. The proposalof sucha changeof relation-ship, subsequentlymade to the congregationsin Canada,was met withgeneral approval.

44 Twenty-sixthGeneralCounuil, [SecondDay,

November5th and 6th, 1929, 1 attendedthe Synodical Coumicil atthe invitation of Bishop I3rewing; I preachedthe aimnual sermon.

On a previousevening,at the rector’s invitation, I met the Vestryof Christ Church in Toronto; at my suggestion,after prayerful con-sideration,the Right Rev. Fi-ankVaughan,1)1)., of England,was electedrector of the churchby a unanimousvote; the election was later con-firmed at a parish meeting. At Bishop Brewing’s suggestionat theSynodical Council, the Right Rev. Frank Vaughanwas unanimouslyelectedBishop of theFirst Synod of the Dominion of Canada.

This early action on the part of the Bishopof the Synod gave newhope to a bewildered people. Every congi-egationhas rallied to thechallengeof Bishop Vaughan,who has just completeda tour of theentire ,Iurisdiction upon a scheduleprepared by the officers of theGeneral Council.

TIme cordiality with which this plan for the reorganizationof ourCanadianJurisdiction wasreceivedis evidencedby thefact that withina few days one thousanddollars was subscribed,half the sum by theCanadianchurchesand the other half by a few friends in the States—the amount to cover the cost of the Episcopalvisitation.

The special appeal was made necessaryby the depletion of theGeneral Council special fund. In addition to this, a deficit has beenmet amounting to nearly $500.

On January 5th, 1930, during Bishop Brewing’s absencein thewest and upon his invitation, I preachedat three services at ChristClmurch in Toromito.

February l4th-lSth I spent in Ottawa. On Saturday,assistedbythe Rev. A. M. Hubly and the Rev. R. J. Farrell, I examined ArthurBrooks for Deacon’sorders. On Sundaymorning, at St. David’s Church,I ordainedMr. Brooks to the Diaconate; the Rev. Mr. Hubly preachedthe sermon.

March 27th-3Oth I visited the Jurisdiction again. On Fridayafternoon and on SaturdayI held conferenceswith Bishop Vaughan inthe homeof ommr delightful hosts, Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Busby. The fol-lowing Sunda.y I visited Belleville and preachedat both services inEmmanuelChurch, the Rev. GeorgeMarshall, Rector.

Last week, on Thursday, May 16th, 1930, I presidedat a specialsessionof the Wi rst Synod in the Dominion of Canada.,for the purposeof hearing Bishop Vaughan’s report and of acting mmpon the proposalto seek affiliation with the Free Church of England.

The Council unanimouslyadoptedthe following mesolutions;theyare included in this report t.o enableyou to consider the petition andin time hope tlmat you maymakea favorable response:

“THAT wHEREAS, The several parishesof the First Synod of theDominion of Canadaof the ReformedEpiscopalChurch have, by unani-mous vote, expresseda desire to becomean integral part of the FreeChurch of England, otherwisecalled the ReformedEpiscopalChurch,andthus severtheir connectionwith theGeneralCouncil of theReformedEpiscopal Church in the United States and Canada;

May 22, 1930] ReformedEpiscopalChurch. 45

“Therefore, be it resolved,That the First Synod of the Dominionof Canadaof the Reformed Episcopal Church, in Synodical Councilassemnbledin Emmanuel Church, Belleville, Ontario, May 15th, 1930,does hereby request permission from the General Council aforesaid topetition the Free Clmrch of Englandfor admissionas a Synod of theirConvocation,and mmpon this reqmmestbeinggranted,and the First Synodof Canadabeing received as a Synod of the Free Church of England,the canonicalrelationshipof the First Synod of the Dominion of Canadawith time General Council of the Reformed Episcopal Church in theUnited States shall cease.”

I submit the record of this action for your consideration. 1 knowyou will deal with it sympathetically.

RIGHT REV. FRANK VAUGHAN, D.D.The pi-ospectof I3ishop Vaughan’spresencein this Council has,

all through the period of preparation, led me to expect a special bless-ing. Writing therefore in anticipation, I am speakinga hearty wel-conic to our belovedbrother from acrossthe sea.

We thank ommr 1-leavenlyFather for the inspiration of his ministryamong us.

I am anticipating a visit to Englandin companywitb the familya year hence.

PRAYER BOOK REvISIoN.

From January7th to 15th, 1929, the Committeeon Doctrine andWorship was in daily sessionwith the Commission on Prayer BookRevision. Bishop Peach, Dr. Collins and I attendedall the sessions,or the sum of one hmmndred and thirteen hours.

Jammuary16th to 18th, 1929, the GeneralCommitteeof the GeneralCouncil continued in session. During these three days the Committeeon Doctrine and Worship made its report to the Genci-al Committee,which sat asthe GeneralCouncil ad interim. Of the twenty-two. mem-bers of this Comumittee,fifteen were in attendamice. We have the hopein us that the new Pi-ayer Book may be finally adoptedin this Councilsubstantially as set forth in the Book which is now submitted.

From Augnst 2nd to 9th 1 collaboratedwith Bishop Peachat hisfarm at Great Meadows in proof reading and editing. It was a weekof continuouswork from early morning until late at night. Thegreatbulk of the work, however,has beendone by Bishop Peach,very ablyassistedby Mrs. Peach. We owe to our friends a greatdebt of gratitmide.

I speakof thesebrethren,men and women, belovedin the Churchfor their conspicuouscontribution to the life of the Church,andbecausewith the exception of the last named I had some sharein the serviceof burial. All these rest from their labors, and their works do followthem.

THE NEw YORK AND PHILADELPHIA SYNOD.

I must give at least a hint of the encouragingcondition of theJurisdiction which, after the Theological Seminary,must be my chiefconcern. Twenty-oneof the churchesare happy in the leadershipof afaithful rector. West Chesteris cared for by one of the studentsofour Seminary. The churchat Ventnor is still without arector. Thereis a marked improvement in the churchesgenerally in the spirit ofservice and sacrifice.

The last servicein the presentFirst Church,New York, will beheld Junethe 8th, 1930. The congregationis erectinga million dollarapartmenthouse, with accomnmodationfor the work of the church.Mr. Higgins is to be congratulatedupon the prospect.

On Thursday afternoon, April 11th, 1929, a great catastrophebefell Emmanuel Church, Newark. Fire devastatedthe building tosuch an extent that it involved an expenseof $20,000 to restore it.The loss wasnot quite half coveredby iimsum-ance. The restorationhasbeenfinancedammd the church in its beautyexceedsthe older structure.We thank God for the courageof the people.

Eighteenmonths agothe Chmmrch of the Redemptionwas reopened,thorommghly renovatedand redecorated.

October16th, 1927, in the presenceof a congregationwhich taxedthe capacityof the building, I dedicatedSt. John’s-by-the-Sea. $45,000wasexpendedin enlarging thestructureand adorning it. The propertyis free fmom all encumubrance. The beautiful organ was the gift of afriend. The lot upon which the large parish houseis built was givenas a memorial by Mr. ThomasJ. Richards. The capacityof the build-ing was quadrupled.

The Chum-ch of the Atonement,Germantown,was fortunate in thesale of the old property for $400,000. A beautiful Gothic house of

God has l)een completed. The 11ev. Robert M. Webster was appointedby the Bisbop to lay the corner-stoneon July 28th, 1929.

it was my greatprivilege to dedicatethis churchon Sundaymorn-ing, May 4th, just a few days ado.

To see this latestaddition to our Philadelphia.churcheswill provea greatencouragementto a lover of our cause. Bishop Vaughanwillpreach in this church next Smmnday evening. We thank God and con-gratulate the Rector, Wardens, Vestrymen and Congregation. Mr.Richard H. Silbert exhibited a great genius in connection with thisenterprise.

Emmanuel Church, Philadelphia, and Grace Church, East Falls,have enhancedtIme value of the propertiesto the extent of manythous-and dollars. The latter churchhas pmmrchaseda rectory.

The Menmorial Church of Our Redeenmer,in which our Council isheld, as we well know, has completed its new Parish House,adjoiningthis cbmmrch. The additional investment exceeds$118,000. The formalopeningoccum-redJanuary10th, 1929. We congratulateI)r. Ireemantleand his loyal peopleon this achievement.

0mm September30th, 1928, I made an addressat the reopeningofSt. Lmmke’s Clmurch, Frankford. The building was thoroughly renovatedand redecorated. A new organ and a new heatingplant were installed.

You will all rejoice to hear tha.t our Semninarybuilding has beengreatly improved In appearanceat a cost of several thousanddollars.

I am myself amazedat the expemmditureof large sums in securingthesephysical changes. Other parishesare also exhibiting their devo-tion by lesser improvements.

At ameetingof the New York and PhiladelphiaSynod in Scrantonin October, 1928, in amm hour. perfectly spontaneously,over ten thousanddollars was pledged to the Synodical Episcopal Endowment Fund.About $8,000 is already imi hand. it is hopedthat in time, after thepresent Bishops am-e transferred to serve in the Church Tm-iumnphant,the gifts and accruedincome may securea fund of $60,000.which willenabletheJurisdictiommto expectthe less hampem-edserviceof a Bishop.May the Lord speedthe day.

In closing, may I recommemidmole fm-equent gatherings of theclergy and laity for j)rayerful conference. TIme Church’s fuller qualifi-cation for spii-itual serviceshould have careful consideration.

On January18th, 1930, more tha.n twenty of our ministers gath-eredin the Theological Seminary; it marked a distinct advancein ourcommunion.

The niachinery is all in order; we have some power,hut we needmore. We shall have it in the iueasure in which we desire it. Hehas promised it; let mms take it. Let us remember the Lord Jesus,repent of our apathy, and experiencethe return of our first love, aroyal force, which laughs at difficulties.

As your PresidingBishop, I commit you to God’s greater grace.Affectionately yours,

ROnEET L. RUDOLPH.

REPORTOF BISHOP ROBERT WESTLY PEACH, D.D.


DEAR BEETHEEN:—The incessantactivities of this triennium maybe briefly and in part sunmmarizedas follows:

Confirmati s.—I have preachedand administered confirmationto 38 classes,with a total of 332 personsrenewingtheir baptismal vowsand acclaiming Jesusthe Christ as their Saviour and Lord. Of these,134 ~veremen and boys, and 198 women and girls. Over two-fifths ofthese were in the Special Missionary Jurisdiction of the South inDecember,1927.

In Pinopolis, S. C., I presided for three days over the Convo-cation of the Jurisdiction, which dispatched the businessin hand inan om-derly and brotherly manner, with refreshing outcroppings ofspiritual fervor. In a fortnight I preached sixteen sermons, madea missionary address,and spoke to the teachersand students of theAvery High School and the ColoredMinisters’ Union, both in Charles-ton, and inspectedthe Bishop Cummins Training School in Summer-ville. It was with genuine regret that, on account of illness, I hadto forego the privilege offered me by the PresidingBishop of repeatingthis visit in 1929.

A wave of church building improvement has swept over thisJurisdiction. It is amazing how far a few dollars are made to goin the way of constructing, repairing, enlarging, or beautifying themuecting-housesof our Southernbrethren. They richly deservespecialgifts towards their building and rebuilding funds.

The Training School is doing an admirable and necessarywork.A request to the Superintendent,the Rev. JosephE. Kearney, forinformation concerning the needsof this school of the prophets,willbring definite facts in answer. Even small gifts are made to go farin South Carolina. XVhen I returned I characterized the Superin-tendent’s labors as “arduous, ardent,efficient and consecrated.”

May ~2,1930 1 ReforinedEpiscopal Church. 49

Ordino / ion~.—Omi December15, 1927, 1 ordainedSamuelHumbert(iethers to the Diaconate imm Clmarleston, after having assistedin hispreliminary examination,which was very creditable. Mr. Getherssoonthereafter was removed from the field of his earthly labors, afterhaviun made a worthy record. lie had been preachingas a studentfor sometime.

On April 30, 1930, in Havre-de-Grace,Maryland, 1 ordainedtothe Presbyteratethe Rev. JosephHenry Robinson, wlmose father, theRev. Joseph Robinson, Rector of St. Luke’s Church, Philadelphia,preachedthe sermon, while the Rev. Charles 0. Bayard, Rector ofthe Chmmrch of the Reconciliatiomi, Philadelphia, presentedthe candi-date. Both of thesebrethren joined me in the laying on of hands.The Rev. harry Robinson is doing excellent work in Grace Church,Ilavre-de-Grace.

Iastallati&n.—In Emumanuel Church, Newark, New Jersey, Ipreached the sermon and installed my successor, the Rev. GeorgeWallace Doherty, as rector, on March 11, 1928. On April 11, 1929,the beammtiful edifice of this parish was sadly damagedby fire. Onemonthlater I was drafted to make the appealat the annualadjournedmoectingfor three-yearpledgestoward a fund to supplementthe insur-ancein repairing and improving the buildings. Almost but not quiteenoughwas promised, and I was instrumental in securingthe neededbalancefrom the Synodical Trustees. The restored church is morebeautiful than ever.

Ordino tio &rnmons.—~Janmmary25, 1928, I preachedat the ordina-tion to the Presbyterateof the Rev. Robert Milton Webster in theChurchof the Atonemnent,Germantown,whereinMr. Webstem-is laboringwith fine loyalty to our Lord, His Word, and our Church. On May 5,1930, I ha.d the privilege of attendiun a reception to the rector andMrs. Websterin the superbnew Gothic church just completedon a sitenot far from the old location.

On May 28, 1928. I preachedat the ordination to the Presbyterateof the Rev. William Culbertson, III, in Grace Church, Collingdale, asuburbof Philadelphia,whereMr. Culbertson,as rector, is doing workof a soundspiritual character.

Other Scrmons.—InReformed Episcopal churches,over seventysermons,other than thosehereinbeforenoted, are recordedin my notes.To thesemay be addedLenten addresses,YoungPeople’sConferencead-dresses,remarks at social functions, and other public appearances.Also I have officiated at baptisms,marriagesand burials.

Burials—Of the burials, I record only two out of a number:

On the 16th of March, 1928, I officiated at the funeral of Mrs.William A. L. Jett in Richmond, Virginia. Mrs. Jett was one of theloveliest of Christian women—bybirth and disposition a true gentle-woman,by rebirth and habit of life a daughterof the King. Her faith


in the saving grace of our Lord JesusChrist was deep and abiding.11cr devotion to her husbandwas touching to discern,her loyalty to herfriends unwaveringand warm. Whoeverknew her muissesher, and thesympathyof the whole Chmmrch will go out to her husbandfor theseasonin which he is left to walk alone—yetnot alone, for his Saviour is athis side—until the blest m-euniommin time heavenlyplacesin Christ Jesmis.

On June 27th, 1928, irm Cummins Memorial Chui-ch, Baltimore,I readthe Om-der for the Burial of the Deadfor Anna Veronica Eareck-son,wife of Mr. Williaia M. Eareckson,and umotherof the Rev. XVilliamMilton Eareckson,.Jr. Mrs. Eareckson,taken from earthat the age ofsixty-fomir, had crowded into those years the Christian service of amuch longer life. It was said of her that her piety and zeal were ex-ceptiomial, her life beautiful.

Golden Wedding—Ofsocial functions, I shall take time and spaceto mention but one: It was a great and rare privilege to bepresentatthe celebrationof the golden ~vedding anniversary of the Rev. Dr.Francis II. Reynolds and Mrs. Reynolds,held in the Bellevue-StratfordHotel, Philadelphia, on the 30th of January, 1929. We thank ourHeavenly Father that this happy and blessedunion has now passedanotheranniversary,andpray that it maybebut oneof many to follow.

My Rectorship.—Asoften as possible, I visit my parish, theChurchof the Corner-Stone,Newburgh,New York, and spentthe Easterweek-endthere,visiting the membersand presidingat the EasterMon-day meeting. This parish, after 1 lug very low in strength,now meetsthe expensesof its hi-monthly services, raises considerablesums forrepairs,gives well to the Synodical budget, sustains a weekly prayerservice,and manifestsother evidencesof renewedlife.

Boards—SucceedingBishop Rudolph, who wished to be relieved,as Presidentof the Boards of Home and Foreign Missions, I have atleast (and nearly at most) attendednearly all of the joint meetings.Fortunately, the membership,in addition to the Presiding Bishop, in-cludesmanywho are thoroughly conversantwith all phasesof the work,andtheBoardsdo their work well. I amalsoPresidentof theReformedEpiscopal Publication Society, Limited, the report of which will showno great activity, becauseof the necessityof conservingand adding toits resources,in order to be preparedto publish the new Prayer Book.Here I was instrumental in securing appropriations from the JubileeFund, and obtaining time finely generousgift of two thousanddollarsfrom Mr. Frank W. Miller, Vestryman of my old parish, Emmanuel,Newark.

Prayer Book Revision.—Iestimatethat in the last eighteenyearsI have spent some thousandsof hours on this work—a considerablepart thereof in the last intensive four years. As Chairman of theRevision Commission,member of the Committeeon Doctrine and Wor-ship, Special Secretaryof the GeneralCommittee, and finally, memberof the General Council, I have been in touch with every phaseof the

May22,19301 ReformedEpiscopalChurch. 51

work, I cannot forbear to set down my judgment that to PresidingBishop Rudolph must be accreditedmuch of the excellenceof the newbook; next to him, the late Rev. I)r. Williamn Rmmssell Collins, who wouldprobably have been namnedfirst if he had not gone from us in the midstof the. pastyear’s work; then time Rev. Dr. Willianm A. Freenmantleandthe Rev. HowardD. Higgins, Th.M.; then the Rev. EdwardJ. S. Sonne,and the Rev. Fred U. Mackenzie, together with Messrs. Thomas J.Richardsand ThomasL. Bei-ry.

The co-operationof these brethren—all of them immembersof theCommissionon Revision of time Prayer Book—has been exercisedsinceJanuary,1929; anothermember,the Rev. henry H. Trotter, B.D., ren-dered help earlier. The foundations of the work wem-e laid by Dr.Collins in the Council of 1912, andpart of the structurewell builded byformer chairmen—theRev. Duane Wevill and the Rev. Dr. JosephD.Wilson. The liturn ical knowledge and taste and the wise judgmentof our departedbrethren, Drs. Wilson and Collins, have been sorelymissed. The latter had read about one-fourthof the proofs before hewastaken. Dr. Freemantlehas readthe proofs. Bishop Rudolph readthem independentlyand then with me. I was helpedin the first readingby Mrs. Peach,who read aloud the copy of the entire book, specifyingitalics, capitals, commas, paragraphs,rubrics, etc. Then I read theproofs alone; then with Bishop Rudolph. Of the trial books, I haveread three separatecopies, each time making new corrections. Thetypographical accuracyof the Iloly Bible has been our model; butdespiteall our care,and theexpert helpof the printers’ keenestproof-reader,andthedetectionof errorsor inconsistenciesin the trial book byseveralof our brethrenwho havenot beennamed,therewill remain somedefects in the typographyof the book. (On my sixth readingI found“he” for ye and “absolved” for absolveth; and at the meeting of theGeneralCommitteelast Tuesdayattention wascalled to the misspelling,“bretheren”!) We must all have grown in the graceof humility.

The Theological Seminery.—Justto keep us from stagnatingorrusting from lack of occupation,Bishop Rudolph and I teach fifteenor more hours weekly in our Seminary, from late Septemberto lateMay, annually. This may not be classified strictly as episcopalwork.And yet, a Bishop never functions more clearly and strongly as aBishop than in his contacts with students for the Gospel uministry.Our Seminary is thriving. We hold fast the form of soundwords, andteachthe faith once deliveredto the saints. The young men who cometo us averagehigh in characterand ability. Year after year, day afterday, we seekthe gnidanceof God’s Holy Spirit, and our Lord Jesusisexalted in our teachingsand in our prayers. This is Pentecostalyear;so we endeavorto make every year in our school.

Exhortatio’a.—Theaveragegifts of the peopleof oum- parishes,bothto the current parochial expensesand to the budget, are very low incomparison with those of other denominations. If this condition isnot greatly improved, and that soon, the Reformed Episcopal Cburchwill stagnate. Many of our brightest and truest young ministers have

Upon motion, the reportwas receivedand orderedspreadupon the minutes.

REPORT OF THE CANADIAN SYNOD.To the Thecnty—sixthGeaerol Council

of the Reformed Episcopal Church.DEAn BRETmmEN:—For the.fimst time in the history of the Reformed

EpiscopalClmurch it hasbecomethedmmty of an English Bishopto presenta report of the work in Canada,and this unmmsual circumstancehasbeenbroughtaboutby a seriesof eventsconcerningwhich it is necessaryto say but little beyond the fact that. Bishop Bmewing’s transfer toanothersphere,and consequentdimission to another branch of tImeChurclm, led to the presentposition; and (thrommgh the generosity andkindness of membersof the Council) I am privileged to a.ddressyouas the l3ishop-elect.of the CanadianSynod,and bave just. returnedfroma visit to the far-fimmag parisheswhich form that body.

For the information of the brethren, it may be desirableto stat.ethat my associationwitb the First Synod of Canadawas not soughtbyEngland, bimt was decidedby the CanadiaaSynod in Novemberof lastyear.

The General Council of the Convocationof our Churclm in Englandxe consentfor me to visit this Dominion on my wa.y to Philadelphia

for the General Council.I aum, therefore,on a mission of enquiry and examination,with

th~ object of securing the opinion of the Canadian churches as towhetherthe future of the Synod shommld be linked with that of Englandor otherwise; and further,

After conferencewith the parishes,tIme Synod and the membersof the General Commncil, to preparea.nd present to the ConvocationoftheChurch in England a schemeby which this First Synod of Canadamay, in futume, function as an integral part of the Convocation ofthe Free Church of England, otherwise called the ReformedEpiscopalChurch.

May22, 19301 ReformedEpiscopalChurch. 53

That was the duty intm-usted to me by the Council in Englandand by the Presiding Bislmop of the ReformedEpiscopal Chmmrcb in theUnited Statesand Canada.

I am unable to report on time work of the pastyears in tho usualway, but I am permitted to give you my impressionsand suclm conclu-sions as I have formed during my itineramy.

There are eight om-ganizedparishes, two of which can only bedescribed as mnissions, viz.: St. Margaret’s. Vancouver. and HappyValley, Victoria.

Christ Church, Toronto, had invited meto succeedBishop Brewingas Rector, but my work in Englandmakesthat an impossibility. Nev-ertheless,I Imaveeveryreasonto believethat thefuture of Christ Church,Toronto, will be secureunder the leadershipof Rev. R. MakepeaceofEngland. The general organization of the church and its parochiallife are excellent. Members and adherentsnumber 604. Communicantmembemsnumber300. SundaySchool, 250, with an averageattendanceof 210. Therearelarge andinterestingcongregationsat pmmblic servmces.

EmmanuelChurch, Ottawa, is servedby Rev. J. J. Kerslakeas aweek-endministry. The parishhas been in a depressedcondition, andit wasfinancially impossibleto provide a full-time pastorate. Mr. Kers-lake has been nominatedas rector and is applying to be received intothe ministry of this Church. The general atmosphereof the church isdistinctly helpful and spiritual. The Sunday School and Bible classesgive great promisefor the future.

St. David’s, Ott a, has passedthmough a troublous time, owingto unfortunateeventscenteringaround the activities of a previousmin-ister, legal action being avoided only at the expenseof the Synod.The church is settlingdown under thegnidanceof Rev. Arthur Bmooks,Curate-in-charge,and, judging fromn my brief contact with the work,I should hope its days of difficulty are over. St. David’s has recentlysuffered the loss of the veteran Colonel the Rev. J. B. Donaldsomm,whohasservedthe causefor so many years.

I spent PassionWeek and Eastertidein British Columbia.The Church of Our Lord is a fine old centreand gives greatprom-

ise. The congregationlives in the past, perhaps,but neverthelessthefondly cherishedmemoriesof Bishop Cridge, his saintly life and hisgreat work as a Protestant Churchman, provides the basis of whatmay be and ought to be a greatfuture.

It was my joy and privilege to open time new- Memorial hall to thememoryof Bishop Cridge on XVednesday,April 16th, when a large andrepresentativegatheringpaidhandsometribute to a wonderfmml characterand a great man.

The Revs. D-B. Owen and T. W. Gladstone,with Messrs.Laundyand Scarratt,as most eflicient and devotedWardens,carry on the work,which appearsto need fresh life and,perhaps,morevigorous enterprise,which would doubtlessmeanthe openingof a greatand glorious chapterin the history of the work in Victoria. There is every indication thatin future our work will be as much neededas in the past.

54 Twenty-sixthGeneralCouncil, [SecondDay.

Happy 1/alley Mission is functioning in a somewhat nn(-ertainway. Nevertheless,the work is maintainedand shepherdedfrom Vic-toria. This mission is not a chargeor burdenupon the Victoria parish,and may imi the future becomea flourishing church.

New Westminster,immmder Rev. XV. MeGettigan,appeamsto behealthyand progressive. Work among yoummg people gives great pronmise andthe services were mam-ked by a spirit of deep devotion and spiritualsincerity. I have greathopesfor St. Paul’s.

St. Margaret’s, Vancouver,,under Rev.H. J. Burcimall, a Methodistsupply. carrieson a rather feeble work amongadults, but has a strongSunday School. lt is a struggling cause,which suffers somewhatfromthe accidemits of its foundation and subsequenthistory. Its propertyis securedto the Synod and 1 aum not without hope that it may survive.It is probable t.he present ministerial arrangementwill cease aboutJune, but it is proposedthat St. Paul’s, New Westminster,may takeoversight of its future.

It is apparentthat, from a vamiety of causes,thework in Canadahaslanguishedduring recentyears,thoughit is not within my provinceto specify thosecauses. There is, however, a great need for intemisiveinternal edmmcationon thehistory and purposeof the ReformedEpiscopalChurch and its mission. Very manyhave fom-gottenthe salient featuresof that history, while intelligent appreciation of the reasons for aRevisedPrayer Book or the claims of a Primitive Episcopacyseemsto be aimnost negligible.

On the otherhand,I found amm imumediateand sympatheticresponsewherever refem-encewas made to these things, and I am persuadedthata vigorous educationalcampaign along theselines would result in anenthusiasticand sacrificial co-operationfor the nmaintenanceof tIme greatprinciples mmpon which omir Churchhas been bmmilt.

As TO THE FUTURE OF CANADA.

Vollowing the opinion and adviceof Bishop Rudolph, I have dis-covered that the parishesin Canada(lesire affiliation with the EnglishConvocation,and resolutions have beenpassedin time sevein-al churchean(l the Synod of Canadahas a(iopte(l the same.

Shommld the Commncil appi-ove the proposal and grant the request,I think it would be possible to securethe co-operationof time EnglishConvocation,to whom I shall be happy to refer anydecisionthe Councilmay reach.

There are muatteis of detail on the tinancial side which may needadjustmentammd upomi which I shall be gladto be advised.

I fear umy report has Imeen fragmemmtam-yand anything but lucid.1 an~ able to give little more than irnpm-essions.

I recognize that conditions of church life on tlmis side of theAtlantic ditler from those in England, sometimesvery considerably,and mnmst be remogoized i)y all.

The genius of the ReformedEpiscopal Churchlies in the fact thatit can establislmitself in any commutry, adjust its operationsaccordingto

the prevailing circumstances,and erecta church true to a greathistoricpast in doctrine, discipline and worship, and may commandthe respectand support of all Christian people in its work of maintaining thatnucleus of Christian thought and work around which the Church ofthe future may be gatheredinto a greatand glorious fellowship.

I have been concernedto discover the position of the propertyof the Synod.

PnorEn¶rrEs

Christ Church, Toronto. Held by sixteen Trustees, mnembers ofthe church, in trust for the congregationin connectionwith the FirstSynod of the ReformedEpiscopalChurch in the Dominion of Canada,in conformity with the doctrine, discipline and worship of the saidChurch, under the “Religious Institutions Act.” $22,000 mortgage,“The London and Western Trusts Company.”

I have examinedthe “Act of Incorporation” grantedby the Cana-dian Parliament, which receivedthe royal assenton June 2nd, 1880.It consistsof seven clauses,which, in my judgment, contain no pro-visions which would make the proposedaffiliation impossible. Brieflyrecited, the following are the provisions:

1. Name, “The First Synod in the Dominion of Canadaof theReformedEpiscopal Church, hereinafter called “The Synod.”

2. Definesthe Synod as composedof the Bishop, Clergy and LayDelegatesfor the congi-egationsconnectedwith the said Synod.

3. GeographicalBoundaries—TheDominion of Canada.

4. Makes regnlationsfor enforcing the Discipline of the Church,within the saidReformedEpiscopalChurch.

All the congregatiomisI have visited have passed resolutions—without a dissentientvoice—in favor of beingidentified with the Eng-lish Convocation. The Vestry of Emmanuel,Churcim. Belleville, has notyet met to consider the question.

The following is my proposalfor a schemeby which the expressed(lesireof the various congregationsI have namedmay bereached:

The proposedschemeis in print, and I have seimt copies of theproposalsto eachparish, requestingtheir approval. Whereupon.if theSynod a.greesand the General Council can acquiesce,1 am l)ri1)ared tosubmit thesameto Convocationin Englandin Junefor their considera-tion and possible agreement.

5. The Bishop and Secretaryof the First Synod of Canadashallco-operatewith the Church in England in the matter of ministerialsupplies. But students may be trained at the Reformed EpiscopalChurch Semimmaryfor service in Canada.

6. The First Synod of Canadato emeateand maintain a fond toassist in the transportation of members or candidatesfrom Englamidin relation with vacant pastorates;for permanentresidence,the con-gregation giving the call shall pay the cost of transportation.

Certified copies of the Trust Deeds of the various propertiesheld by the Synod of Canada shall be deposited with the GeneralSecretaryof the Convocationof the Free Church of England, and re-ports made annually to Convocationas to the creation or extinctionof mortgagesor other matters affecting the Trust properties.

The administration of the churches and missions in BritishColumbia does present somedifficulties. Theseparisheslie somnethreethousand ii tiles west of Toronto, and it is very necessarythat thereshould be somne local oversight. In this connection, I discoveredthatBishop Brewimmg had formed a “Western Council,” consisting of timeministers and lay delegatesof the westernparishes,to confer and co—operatein times of crisis. I called this Council together while in timeWest, and recognizing the necessity for immediate action, I organizedand investedthis Council with the powersof a “Standing Committee”for theseWestern churches. The Vice-Presidentis Rev. A. NJ. Hubly,who is Vice-Presidentof the Synod, with Mr. Scarrett of Victoria asSecretarypro tem. I am hopeful that when Mr. Hubly proceedstoVancouver this Council will function with regularity and efficiencyfor the mutual well-being of the churchesof the province. I trust theSynod will see its way to approvemy action, which was done in orderto savetime and begin some method of definite reconstruction.

I am not without hopethat we shall ultimately form that dist.rictinto a “Western Auxiliary Synod,” with the usual Synodical powerswithin the Constitution and Canons.

As to my own position,I haveperformed all Episcopal acts whichare immediately necessary,and have confirmed at the Church of OurLord, at Belleville (on May 18), confirmuingeight persons;andI proposeto hold confirmationsat Ottawa on June1st.

Therefore,Episcopal acts in the immediatefuture will be few. Iam preparedto act as l3ishop of this Synod till another Bishop hasbeenappointed. Respectfmmlly smmbmitted, FRANK VAUGHAN.

Upon motion of Mr. Albert Arndt, a rising vote of thankswas accordedBishop Vanghanexpressiveof the deep apprecia-tion of the Conneil for the serviceshe had rendered,not onlyto the First Synod in the Dominion of Canada,bnt also to onrwhole Chnrch.

REPORTOF THE COMMITTEE ON THE STATE OF THEREFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN THE

UNITED STATES AND CANADA.

To the Twenty-sixthGencral Councilof the ReformedEpiscopal Church.

DEAR BRETHREN:—Your Conirnittee has received reports fromall churcheswith the exception of St. Mark’s Church, Chicago,whichis closed. The valueof the property, however,hasbeea included in thestatistical report.

Therehavenot beenany new parishesorganizedsince the Councilof 1927, with the exception of one recently started in our Southlandwork. Therehas, however, been considerableimprovement in severalparishesand onenew churchhas beenbuilt.

Church of theAtonement, Germantown.—Since the last GeneralCouncil, the church and large lot upon. which it stood have been soldand a beautiful church erected at the corner of Walnut Lane andGreene Street, at a cost of about $250,000. It will seat between 375and 400 and has a building attachedwell equipped for SundaySchoolwork. The church is Gothic in architecture, has a tower containingtubular chimes, and is the prettiest church in Germantownfor its size.The property is free of incumbrances.

The Rector, Vestry and membersof the church,your Committeefeels, will be pleasedto have the delegatesto the Council make a tripto Germantown.

Memorial Church of Our Redeemer,Logan, Philadelphia—Sincethe GeneralCouncil of 1927, a parish househas beenbuilt at a cost of$106,000. Chimes have been placed in the tower and the churchcompletelyrenovatedinside and outside,at a cost of $12420. This wasmade possible by the sale of the churchproperty at 16th and OxfordStreets and a grant from the Looney-Hoffman Board. The grant issecuredby a mortgageof $125,000,which is kept alive by the paymentof one-tenthof one per cent. per annum. This mortgagecannotexpireas long as services are there held and it can therefore be hardlyconsideredas an incumbrance.

EmmanuelChurch, Newark, N. J.—This churchwas visited by avery disastrous fire. The insurance was not sufficient to cover therepairs, and the loyal people of this parish were compelled to incur adebt of several thousanddollars to rebuild in part and renovate theentire interior.

Grace Church, E st Falls, Philadelphia.—Themembershipof theparish succeededin gathering $1,300, which was applied as a depositupon a houseto be usedas a rectory. The property cost $6,750, andthey are carrying a mortgageof $5,450. Many necessaryrepairs werealso made upon five old dwellings upon the church lot. They are stilllooking forward to the time when they may sell their presentpropertyadvantageouslyand re-locatefurther up in thetown.


Bishop CheneyMemorial Church, Chicago.—This parish showsprogress. They have recentlyaddedto their force a religious educator,part time, and a secretary,part time, and are looking forward to thefuturc with joy and confidence and expectationof increasedusefulnessin the work for our Lord and Saviour.

Missiona~y Jurisdiction of the ~S~outh.—Thework in our South-land is progessingunder the able leadershipof Rev. JosephE. Kearney,Superintendent. A new parish hasbeen started,and with this additiontherewill be thirty-sevenchurchesand missions, covering a large partof South Carolina. At the headquarters in Summerville there is aTraining School for young men who desireto enterthe ministry. Lastyear therewere six in the school. The buildings are not free of debt,andmoneycan be well used in our Southlandwork.

Attachedto report sentin by Mr. Kearney is a long list of repairsand improvementsmade upon the churchesand missions.

Theremay be other parishesthat couldreport mattersof interest,and should therebe any in the future we would ask that suchreportsbe written upon the back of report. form, as it is not possiblefor yourcommitteeto know what is going on in the severalparishes.

The parishesreporting show 9,660 communicants,with 7,000 inthe Sunday Schools. The total contributions amount $631,873, with$38,322 for benevolences,in addition to paymentsmade to the budgetand sums spent in the material improvement of the properties. Thevalue of church property is $2,669,300. For further details, referenceshmid bemadeto the statistical pagesin the Appendix.

Respectfully submitted,SAMUEL B. RAY. Chaiman.

The Rev. Dr. Freemantlepresentedhis reportas Chairmanof the Committee on Budget. Upon motion, the report wasreceivedand its recommendationadopted.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON BUDGET.

To the Tu’enty-sixth General Councilof the Reformed Episcopal Church.

DEAR BRETHREN:—Your Committee. on Budget has held nomeetings,as nothing has beenreferred to it. The Budget.seemsto beoperating with partial successin the various Synods, but since eachSynod hasa Budget Committeeof its own, thereis practically no workfor this Committee to do. Under the new Constitution, the work thatwould normally belongto a Budget Committee has been given to theGeneral Committee.We thereforerespectfullyask that we be dischargedand that the PresidingBishop do not appoint anotherCommittee onBudget.

Respectfullysubmitted,WILLIAM A. FREEMANTLE, Chairman.


The Rev. Dr. Freemantlepresentedhis report as Chairmanof the Boardof Church Extension,and,upon motion, the reportwas receivedand its recommendationadopted.

REPORTOF TIlE BOARD OF CHURCHEXTENSION.


DEAR BRETHREN:—The Council of 1927 made a gesture in thedirection of ChurchExtension by appointing a Board of ChurchExten-sion, whosemembersresided in Philadelphia, Chicago,Cleveland,Balti-more, Toronto and Ottawa. The purpose of the Board was to promotethe etablishment of Reformed Episcopal Churches and Missions in newfields in the United StatesandCanada. It is presumed that the severalmembers of the Committee, from their lonely watchtowers, were to spyout the land, and should they find an opening for our Church, at oncereport it to the Chairman, who, without any funds at his disposal,would call this Committee together and go in and possess the goodland without any meanswherewith to do it. No such openingshavebeenbrought to the attention of this Board, and it seemsto the Chair-man that it might well bedischarged,as eachSynod hasa Committeedealing with these matters, and such matters as seem outside theseSynodical Committeesmight well be referred to the General Committeeunder Article IX of the Constitution.

Respectfully submitted,WILLIAM A. FREEMANTLE, Chairmen.

The Rev. Dr. Freemantlepresentedhis report as the Depu-tation of this Council to the threehundredthanniversaryof thefounding of the ReformedChurchin America. Upon motion,the report was receivedand ordered spreadupon the minutes.

rrhe Council was calledto order at 11.30, after the conduct

of a Serviceof Devotion,led by the Rev.W. Milton Eareekson,Jr.The Minutes of the secondday’s sessionswere read and

approved.Mr. H. H. Sinnamonread the report of the Secretaryof

REPORTOF THE SECRETARY OF THE BOARD OF FOREIGNMISSIONS.

To the Twenty-sixthGeneral C ncilof the ReformedEpiscopal Church:

DEAn BRETHREN:—With the realization of our dependenceupon ourHeavenlyFather for his care and gnidancein the managementof ourforeign missionaryeffort, and with devoutandgrateful thanksgivingforHis oversight of this branch of His work, your Board of Foreign Mis-sions presentsthe following Report:

I. THE BOARD OF FoREiGN MissioNs.

The Board held regnlar meetingssince its election by the Twenty-fifth GeneralCouncil, all of which wereheld in the City of Philadelphia.

Upon the organizationof the present Board, the following officerswere elected:President,Bishop RobertWestly Peach,D. D.; First Vice-President,Mrs. Forrest E. Dager; SecondVice-President,Mrs. Inez R.Deach; Third Vice-President,Miss AlbertaEverall; RecordingSecretary,H. H. Sinnamon;CorrespondingSecretary,Mrs. CharlesF. Hendricks;andTreasurer,Mr. Norman S. MeCausland.

We expressour gratitud~ to our active officers for their loyal andefficient servicesand particularly to our Treasurer,Mr. Norman S. Mc-Causland,for his exact and at all times careful managementof ourfinances. It is a matter of pride that our officers are willing to servewithout salaries, thus giving to our donors the assurancethat, with theexception of the very small administrativeexpense,every dollar givento this work reachesthe foreign field.

II. MISSIONARY STATION AT LAUTPuR.

(a) Missionaries.Our staff of missionaries in this district consists of Rev. Howard

G. Hastings andwife, Rev. Leslie L. Lease and wife and Miss JanetParker, togetherwith the usual corps of native Indian preachersandworkers.

100 Twenty-six/hGeneralCouncii, [Third Day,

(b) Orphanage.b cc of Rev, and Mrs. Ilastinos onDuring the absen ~. urlou~h the

Orphanagehas beenunder the (are an(l managementof Miss I~arker.While the capacity of our Orphanage is about 100 children, withoutcrowding, we have now in our care SO children, which with 12 dayscholars,makesa total of 92 on the schoolroll.

Theusualefficiencyin the managementof this work is shownin thecareersto be adoptedby the five girls who will come up for’ official ex-aminationsthis year. If they are successful,threewill go to Jubbeporeto train as teachers,one as a nurse, and one will return to her ownmission.

Too much praise cannot be given to the Women’s Auxiliary for theclothing, dolls, andmany useful articles,too numerousto mention,whichthey sendto the Orphanagein the yearlyboxes. This great expenseisborneby the ladiesindependentof our budget,and if they could only bepresentwhen the boxesare opene(l in that far-off laud they would beamply repaid.To seethehappy,expectantfaces,heartheexcited,chatter-ing voices andbetter yet, see the little onesin our care clothed in clean,new frocks would be a joy unspeakableand a great reward for theirexpendedeffort. Our Orphanageis more fortunate than others, in nothaving to be compelled to spend mission funds and hours of planningwith all the attendant worries, to propei-ly equip o~r children. Ourladies are doing a greater worth while work than they realize and ourgratitude and the thankfulnessof our wards are tendered them foitheir unselfish and generouslabor of love.

(c) Schools.1. Sunday Schools.We have eight Sunday Schoolswhich range in atteu(lancefrom 10

to 50. Mr. Hastings, by use of his bicycle, is enabledto visit nearlyevery one of these schools. By useof the little Hindi Scripture Textcards,larger picture post cards,and Hindi booklets, the interestof thescholarsis maintainedand attendancepromoted.

The largeSundaySchoolfor Christiansis held after the closeof theoutside schools. This school has an enrollment of about 150 with tenclassesand teachersand with a good averageattendance.

Preparation for the teaching of these schools is provided by Mr.Hastings in the Bible Class held on Saturdayafternoons. Instructionis given to the teachersin these classesby the study of the SundaySchoollesson for the following day.

2. Day Schools.Therearenow sevenboys’ day schools,four of which are in Lahitpur

town andthree in the outsidedistricts. Of thefour schoolsin Lahitpur,two have two teacherseach, with one each in the other two in the sub-urbs adjacentto Lahitpur. The threein the outsidedistricts are locatedat Umaria,eighteenmiles south of Lahitpur; Chatwar, four miles southof Lahitpur; and Bastgowan,fifteen miles north of Lahitpur.

Rev. Mr. Leasehad a schoolat Mahroni which was closedtempor-arily.

May23, 1930] ReformedE copalChurch. 101

The one girls’ schooloutsideof Lahitpur is locatedat Bansi.The attendancein theseschoolsvaries greatly due to the demands

on theboys for aid in the fields during the planting and harvest season.

(d) Evangelistic Work.The evangelisticwork is carried on by our missionariesby camping

out in the various villages in the large districts and assemblingthenatives in meetings,day and night, as the opportunity affords.

The night meetingsare made interestingby the always attractingmagic lantern. Pictures of the life of Christ, His miracles, parables,etc., tend to hold the attention of the crowd and helpsthem in under-standing the life, teaching and purposesof Jesus. Music also has itsplacein thesemeetings. Our corps of workers are musicians of a sort,one playing a pair of cymbals,anotheranIndian drum, anothera pairof brassbells, andMr. Hastingsthe cornet; these all playing thesimplenative tunesaddto the attraction of theseservices.

The people seem very responsiveas shown by their willingness tolisten to the preachingand their friendly attitude to our workers. Inaddition the nativespurchasequite a numberof the Gospels,tracts andother bookletsput out by the tract society. Mr. Hastingswas assistedin this work this pastwinter by HermanHoffman, HoraceBacon andFrank Crawford. The day meetings were conducted in pairs, Mr.Hastings and HermanHoffman composingone team and HoraceBacoaand FrankCrawfordtheother; but at the night meet.ingstheyall joinedforces.

Statistics are usually dull reading except to those greatly inter-ested in the subject matter. However we know of no better way toshow what a wonderful work our missionariesare doing in this evan-gelistic branchthan to set forth in the following table a detailedstate-ment of thework doneby Mr. Hastings during the last winter’s term.

102 Twenty-sixthGeneralCouncil, [Third Day.

This record speakswell for the faithfulness and sl)iritllal zeal ofour missionarmes.

JamesCrozier, one of the natives engagedin this work with Mr.Hastings last year, hasbeen sentto theTheologicalSemninaryat Bareillyin North India. We have received a. favorable report of his studiesandwhen hehasfinishedhis two remainingyearswe hope to have himn backin our work.

In this conmiection. it gives us great encouragemnentto know thatour efforts in this field are bearimmgfruit. Through the generosity ofDr. C. C. Rankin, 1-lenry Bacon (son of HoraceBacon) after finishingthe courseat the Lalitpur High School,wassent to the Medical Collegeat Agra for four years. He graduatedwith credit and is AssistantDoctor a.t the large missionhospital at Jodhpur, severalhundredmilesnorth of Lalitpur. This young man is now sendinghis sister to amissionhigh schooland is taking his brother to live with him and willalso sendhim to. the governmenthigh school.

Another of our boys, David, son of HermanHoffman, alsograduatedfrom the Lalitpur I{igh School, and is now a teacher in a mnission atSangor,a large town somesixty miles south of Lalitpur.

We mentionthesefew outstandingcasesto show the resultsof ourcontinued efforts in bringing to these peopleknowledgeof Him. wbomnto know is life eternal.

(e) Zenana Work.Our Zenanawork is going on slowly and surely. Miss Parker

reports: “The women we have are good and trustworthy, and thoughwe do not seeactual results,the seedis sown by thefive sowers,scatteredon all kinds of ground, preparedand watered through prayer and wecan safely leave the resultsto Him. According to the report given tome by the seniorBible women,23,509 souls this year heardthe Word.’~

(f) New Church Building.Ever sinceMr. hastingshas beenin Lalit.pur one of the old build-

ings of the boys’orphanagehasbeen usedas a church. It hasbeen theambition of thoseon the field to have a suitable church imm which toworship. With this end in view theworkers havebeencontributing toa fund for some years. Last fall this fmmnd amountedto Rs. 1149,about$400.00, so it was determined to start the work of rebuilding. Thebuildimmg is about finished, at a cost of $1,200.00. Donations to theamount of $500.00togetherwith t.he fund contributed of $400.00 heavea debt of about$300.00 which will be liquidated by the collections atthe servicesand the continued contributions of the workers.

The church building has a main room sixty-three feet long, twemity-one feet wide, and a sixteen feet ceiling with no pillars and a flatmasonry roof. There are verandasalong each side which will be usedfor Sunday School Classes. The floor is of stone and the walls are ofbrick covered with plaster and whitewashed.

(g) Furloughs.At the present timne Rev. Mr. and Mm’s. Lease and family have just.

arrived home on furlough, and Mrs. Hastings,who has been in this


country, expectsto return to the field in a. few weeks. We expectall ofthesemissionariesto attendthis sessionof the General Council and in-form us more J)articularly of their work in India.

I Li. MIssIoNARY WORK AT LucKNow.

Rev. Charles R. Cook, M. D., having recentlysurrenderedchargeofthe medical missionarywork at Lucknow, has returned to Amnerica.This work for the time beint is discontinued.

We assure the friends who have been aiding this work, and whodesire to continuetheir gifts to a medical missionary station, that theBoard will receive smmch contributions and hold them pendingthe con-tinuance of our medical missionaryeffort.

IV. CONcLusION.

In concludingthis Reportyour Board callsattentionto thefact thatduring the last three years the Treasurer disbursed the sum of$36,407.00for the Lalitpur Field, and $9,444.00 for the LucknowMission.

It is needlessto point out the necessityof additional contributionsto this work if it is to be doneefficiemmtly. The amount of moneyto heexpendedfor this branchof the Master’s Kingdom will determinethemeasureof work attempted. If our funds are curtailed, economy ofeffort must be observedin the foreign field. Let it not be laid againstthemembershipof our denominationthat becauseof the smallnessof ourcontributions we placed limitations upon the direct command of ourSaviour to preachthe Gospelto every creature.

108 Twenty-sixthGeneralCouncil, [Third Day,

REPORTOF THE COMMITTEE ON MEMORIALS.


DEAn BEETuREN:—Since the last meeting of the General Council,three clergymen,seven laymen and sevenelect women have joined theChurch Triumphant. For the fourth triennium your Committee hasthe 5ober duty, which is at the same time a joyous privilege, of memo-rializing those who have passedhencein the Lord. Your Committee’sreport falls into three sections.

KING’S DAuomruns—HoNoEABLE WOMEN.

The First Church, New York, and our whole Church, has sufferedirreparable loss in the passing of the Misses Evalina S. and JosephineF. Hamilton. The service of these ladies in our Church dates fromthe official call which issued in its birth. During these fifty years andmore, they served the First Church, New York, and taught Bible classesalmost until the day of their death. The Jubilee Council made them,by a rising vote, Deputies-at-Large.

On February21, 1928, SarahAugustaTucker, widow of the Rev.Charles Henry Tucker, one of the Founders of our Church, was laidto rest. Mrs. Tucker was a faithful and energetic helper of her hus-band in the parisheswhich he servedin Philadelphia,Pa., Wilmington,Del., Cambridge, Mass., Barrie, Ont., and West Chester, Pa.

So far as we are aware, the translation of the Misses Hamiltonand Mrs. Tucker severs the last link that binds us to the Founders ofour Church.

On March 15, 1928, in Richmond, Virginia, Alice Hopper Jett wascalled from earth to the land called Home. Mrs. Jett waswithin threeweeksof beingeighty-threeyearsof age, for sixty-one of which shehadbeen the wife of Dr. Jett. For sixty-one of these years she had been amember of the Church of Christ, having been confirmed by BishopXVhittle in Washington,RappahannockCounty, Va. Fifty-six yearsago,when Mr. Jett was ordained to the ministry by Bishop Cuinmins, theyboth became members of the Reformed Episcopal Church. The marriedlife of these two saints was a union of fidelity, devotion and tenderness.seldom equalled on earth. Mrs. Jett was, by birth and disposition, atrue gentlewoman, and by rebirth and gracious habit a daughter of theKing.

On June 13, 1929, Miss Mary Parker Nicholson,daughterof ourreveredBishopNicholson, joined the ChurchTriumphant. A memberofSt. Paul’s Church for more than a quarter of a century, she had beenthe efficient Presidentof the PennsylvaniaBranch of the Shut-In Soci-ety. Hers was a labor of love, and shegave her best to the causeshehad espoused. Up to the last day of her life she was busy attending tothe business matters of the Society, and the next morning she was not,for God took her. Miss Nicholson’s life aboundedin servicefor others.The love of Christ constrained her. No day was lost. The memoryof the just is blessed.

Way, fell on sleep in her sleep at Ocean City, Maryland.A good wife is from the Lord, and Mrs. Way was a good wife, tender,helpful, and her days were filled with ministry. She was a lovingmotber,who openedher mouth with wisdom, and in her tonguewasthelaw of kindness. Quiet, unassuming,yet everwilling, shetook her placeby the side of her husbandin thework of EmmanuelChurch,Baltimore,endearing herself to all who were unfortunate and ministering to themcomfort and cheer. She now knows the rest that remains foi- the peopleof God.

When a ReformedEpiscopalservicewasconductedin Collingdale, Mrs. McCauslandbecameone of the foundersof GraceChurch, Collingdaie. To it she gave herself in unstinted ser-vice, playing the organ in the church and the piano in the Sunday schooluntil she had passed her seventy-eighth birthday. Mrs. MeCauslandwas a veritable mother in Israel, and her loyalty and devotion arefragrant as ointment outpoured.

On September26, 1929, Miss SusanLatan~, daughtei-of the saintedBishop Latan6, was suddenly called Home from Baltimore, Maryland.Miss Latami was one of the few connecting links still existing betweenthe early days of our Church’s history and our own. She possessedthe gracious manner which we associate with the ladies of the South,and exhibited that meek and quiet spirit which is the adornment ofthe saints.

On February 12, 1930, Mrs. Mary XV. Loomis, beloved wife ofL. Rodd Loomis,oneof the charter membersof the Churchof the Epiph-any, Cleveland,Ohio, passedto her reward. Mrs. Loomis was amongthe greatestchurch workers we ever knew. Intensely active and nim-usually wise, she served Epiphany, Cleveland. with a whole-hearteddevotion. As Budget Treasurer and Leader of the Ladies’ Guild, sheshowed markedfaithfulness and efficiency. She nevermissed a serviceunless preventedby illness, and as a hospitable hostessshe delightedin entertainingthe Bishops and ministers when they visited Cleveland.Loyal to her family, loyal to her church, and byal to her Master, isthe beautiful example sheset for all who knew her.

Dr. Collins was one of our Church’s most distinguished sons.He servedour Church in ways too numerousto memution. He was ineverything. lIe was absolutely to be dependedupon. Forlorn hopeschallengedhim, and he turned them into realizations. In addition tohis parochial activities, lie found time to write for our Church paperarticles which challenged the interest of many outside our borders.He was for a time Professorof Liturgies in our Theological Seminary.During thewar he servedas a Red CrossChaplainin someof the campsin New York. lIe raised scores of thousands of dollars for the NearEast Relief, and was the Secretary-Treasurerof our Church’s JubileeFund.

112 Twenty-sixthGeneral Council, [Third Day,

after eighteen years of effort. Men who knew him loved him, and hewas worthy of it. Thosewho knew him bestloved him most, and someof us will neverceaseto mournhis loss. Versatile,broad-minded,loyal,courageous,lovable, his memory will abide as an inspiration and acomfort. His was a warrior soul, and he onward pressed‘galust windand storm and tide, and at his passing the trumpets soundedfor himon the other side.

On May 15, 1930, the Rev. Joseph S. Kitchen, MA., B.D., M.D.,passedto his reward. Dr. Kitchen servedour Church in Baltimore andPhiladelphia. He took up the study of medicine, graduatingfrom Jef-ferson Medical College, and some years ago retired from the ministryto practice medicine. This did not in any degree lessen his interest inour Church, and he readily helped in any parish where his serviceswere needed. He helped many of his brethren over difficult placeswhen they needed a supply, and was always welcome. He was a goodfriend and possesseda certain fund of humor which cheered many sadhearts and enabledhim to patiently beara long sickness.

Thesewere all menandwomenof faith, andthrough faith wroughtrighteousnessand obtainedpromises. Out of weaknessthey were madestrong, and obtaineda good report throughfaith, and yet theyreceivednot the promise,God having provided some better thing for us, thatthey without us should not be madeperfect. And so we bid them, notfarewell, but simply say “Good-night”

Until the Easterglory lights the skies,Until the dead in Jesusshall arise,And He shall come again, but not in lowly gnise,Good-night.

of the ReformedEpiscopal Church.

DEAR BRETHREN:—The Chairman has called no meeting of thisCommission. Some time ago he asked the Presiding Bishop not toreappoint him to this position. Excessivelabors in other lines of dutyin part accountfor the inactivity; the dominanceof advancedliberalsin someunion movementsof late completesthe account.

Late in April I received a communication signed by Mr. KennethE. Newell, Secretaryof the Synod of Chicago, which transmitted thefollowing preamblesand resolutions:

“WHEREAS, The Reformed Episcopal Church was founded uponthe platform of Christian unity; and

“WHEREAS, The ReformedEpiscopalChurchin Englandhasunitedwith the Free Church of England; and

“WHEREAS, The Twenty-third General Council of the ReformedEpiscopalChurch approveda definite plan of organicunion; therefore,be it

“Resolved, That the Forty-ninth Council of the Synod of Chicagoof the ReformedEpiscopal Church recognizeswith gratitude to Godthestepswhich are beingtakento bring about Protestant Church union;and further be it

“Resolved, That we respectfully requestthe GeneralCouncil Com-mittee on Church Union to take such steps as will enableour Churchto take its rightful part in theforward movementfor Protestantunion.

At a meeting of the Commission,called on Friday afternoon,May23, during the sessionof the Council, it wasdecidedthat the communi-cation of the Synod of Chicagobe received, andrequestedthat its reso-lutions be referred back to this Commission,with the recommendationthat renewed activities be undertakenin the spirit and desire impliedin the action of the Twenty-third General Council upon a plan oforganic union.

CONSECRATION OF REV. JOSEPHEDGAI~ KEARNEY.

On Friday evening,May 23rd, Rev. JosephEdgarKearneywasconsecrateda Missionary Bishop of the ReformedEpiscopalChurch. It was an unusuallyhot evening,andthis andthe factthat the Council had adjourned in the afternoon militatedagainst the size of the audience.

Promptly at eight o’clock theprocessionenteredthe church,singing “The Church’s One Foundation.” Then followed thestately Order for the Consecrationof a Bishop. The threeBishopspresentwere in the chancel. After singing, “Ye Ser-vantsof God, Your MasterProclaim,” the sermonwas preachedby Rev. Dr. ForrestE. Dager,who took as his text the words:“Looking Unto Jesus.” The sermonwaslike the preacher,sane,heart-movingand thereforehelpful. The passingof the yearshas deepenedthe spiritual tone of Dr. Dager’s preaching,andthis was very manifeston this occasion.

The Bishop-electwas presentedby Rev. A. M. Hubly andRev. Robert Milton Webster. The ConsecratingBishops werePresidingBishop Robert L. Rudolph, D.D., Bishop FrankVaughan,D.D., Bishop Robert Westly Peach,D.D., assistedbyRev. Francis H. Reynolds,D.D., Rev. Forrest E. Dager, D.D.,Rev. William A. Freemantle,D.D., Rev. A. M. Hubly, Rev.Wil-liam T. Way, D.D., Rev. FrankV. C. Cloak. D.D., Rev. RobertMilton Webster,Rev. HenryH. Trotter, B.D., Rev. R. A. Madi-son,and Rev. Howard D. Higgins, Th.M.

The moment for the laying on of hands was particularlysolemn,andwill not soon be forgotten. The Communionhymnwas, “Beneath the Crossof Jesus.” A goodly numberreceivedthe Counnunion. The offering, for the Widows’ and Orphans’Fund,amountedto $40.85.

Post-Councilmeetingswere held in most of our churcheson Sundayevening, when the deputies from the MissionaryJurisdictionof the South addressedthe young people.

A union meetingwasheld in St. Paul’s on Monday evening,conductedby BishopJosephE. Kearneyandthecoloredbrethrenfrom the Southern Jurisdiction. Those in attendanceweregreatly pleasedwith the singing of Negro spirituals, and wefeel surethat the interest in this home missionarywork of ourChurch was greatly stimulated.

TIlE WALLS OF JERICHOHebrews Xi: 30.

Sermon of Bishop Frank Vaughan, D.D., of the Free Cburch of England,preachedat the General Council of tbe ReformedEpiscopal

Church, held in Philadelphia, May 21, 1930.

This epistle was written when the Church was passingthrough a critical and dangerousperiod. Ancient, out-wornecclesiastical systems were passing away. Political and socialorders were changing. The Church was in a transition stage.

The writer’s greattheme is the Living Presenceof Christ inHis Churchas PriestandKing. He sets beforeus the Church’sneed and the Master’spresenceandpower.

Thereis a call to “give more earnestheed to’ the things wehaveheard, lest at any time we drift away from them.”

The Saviour is so imminent in life and so intimate inknowledgethat tie is “touched with the feeling of our infirmi-ties,” and “able to saveto the uttermost.”

He bids us recall past history; marshalsthe greathistoricfigures who ha.ve donetheir work andpassedon; thrustsbeforehis readersthe mighty power of faith as it operatedin theseancient heroisms,and bids us rememberthat Christianshave“received a kingdom which cannot be shaken.”

Heexhortsusnot to be “carried away by diversandstrangeteachings,”but to havehearts establishedwith grace; and sinceJesushas “sanctified His peoplewith His own blood, sufferingwithout the gate,” calls us to “go forth unto Him without thecamp, bearing 1-us reproach,” looking carefully lest there beany manthat falleth short of the graceof God, lestany root ofbitterness springing up, trouble you, and thereby the many bedefiled.

Dnring his argumentfor the recovery of faith he recallsthe Church of the Israelites,delivered from Egyptian bondage,having passedthrough the subsequentwildernessjonrney. nowfacingits Jericho,meetingan entirely new condition of things;andhe declares,“By faith the walls of Jerichofell down, afterthey hadbeencompassedabout sevendays.”

I wish to suggest some appropriate connection between thissubject and our presentassembly,when we face our problemsand review our prospects.

4 Appendixto .Journal, Twenty-sixthGeneral Council, [May,

Surely we, too, havebeenfreed from a greatbondage,andhave had some experienceof the wildernessjourney, with itsrebellions,its privations,andoft-recurringDivine interventions:surelywe, too, have receiveda kingdom which cannotbe shaken.Perhapswe needto be remindedof our historic past—of theabiding Presenceof our Divine Lord, and to recoverthe powerof faith in him, faith in our mission,and faith in each other.

1. THE HIsTORIc FACT. “The walls of Jericho.”1. Do we ever find our faith strainedas we readtheseOld

Testamentrecords? It has become quite common to regardthesereferencesaspurelegend,andit is well to be remindedthatthe story is neither unrealor untrue, while the lesson it bringsis obvious and necessary.

2. Quite within the lastfew monthswe havebeeninformedthat excavationson the sitehavelaid barethisold city of Jericholying under its thirty feet of rubbish. We are given the areaof this first city and have been informed that the walls weremadeof sun-bakedmud bricks, and that apparentlyonly onepartof the wall wasmadeof stone.

Excavations prove thetruth of the marginalreferencewhichsaysthat the wall “fell down in its place”—not falling flat out-wards, but “collapsed upon itself.”

3. Thestory tellsof an armedhostsilently marchingroundthe old city, led by priests in white robes, carrying the “ark ofthe covenant.” There wasthe soundof trumpets,but otherwiseno sound. This wasdonesevendays. It is easyto realizethat,as this weird ceremonyproceededday after day, the Jerichoiteswould becomeincreasinglyexcited, the walls would be crowdedwith crowdsof eagersight-seers. On the seventhday, the cere-monybegins early, andtheexcitedcrowdsincrease,till the wallscollapseby the sheerweight it was nevermeantto bear—aper-fectly naturalstory.

4. Thisremindsusof the settingof the story of Pentecost,whereina small army of believersmarchedto andfro amongthecolossalforces opposingthem. Ecclesiasticaltradition of Juda-ism,Romanimperialism, Greekphilosophy.

The curious companyof nondescriptenthusiastshad astheir battle-cry an OpenedBible and “Jesus and the Resurrec-tion,” beforewhich the trinity of opposingforces presentlycol-lapsed.

1930] ReformedEpiscopalChurch.

Oneis remindedof marmy a historic scene in the history ofProtestantreforms wherethis old picture finds amplereflection.And from these I would not exclude a certain small gatheringassembledin a hired upperroom in New York fifty-seven yearsago, in an atmosphereof hostility and misunderstanding—agroup who, with trustful heartsand upheld by faith, plannedthe mostdaringecclesiasticalcampaignof moderntimes: found-ing the Churchto which we now belong, in defenceof individualliberty, apostolic churchmanship,and Protestantevangelism.

II. THE PowER AT WORK. By Faith.

I. The writer of this epistle tells us what Faith is: “Thesubstanceof things hopedfor, the evidenceof things not seen,or, asthelate Dr. Jowettput it, “The title-deedsof thingshopedfor, the possessionof things not seen.”

“By faith the walls fell down.” Is this mere theory, orcanit be provedin practice? I supposeit would be true to say,“By faitlm the enemy’sfront was pierced in the Great War.”By every man contentto do his own job honestlyand sturdily,without knowing what G. H. Q. wasdoing or why. Every manfaithfully doing what seemedso uselessand which appearedtobe so much wasteof time. Yet eachwascontributingsomethingto the greatscheme,thoughthe marchwas not for sevendays,but for four years.

2. The story of reformation history on the continentofEurope, imi England,and more receimtly in this country, culmin-

ating in that which gavebirth to our own belovedChurch.is thestory of the mighty power of Faith—thegift of God. The en-duementof Pentecostalgrace,working in and throughthe livesof men who courageouslyfollowed the light which God gavethem, did their work, andperseveredin their task till it droppedfrom their weary hands,of whom it may be said: “These alldied in faith, not having receivedthe promises,but having seenthem and greetedthem from afar.”

Therefore,seeingwe, their successors,“are compassedaboutwith such a cloud of witnesses,let us lay asideeveryweight andthe sin which dothso easilybesetus, andlet usrun with patiencethe racewhich is set before us, looking unto Jesus,the authorand finisher of our faith.”

6 Appendixto Journal, Twenty-sixthGeneral Council, [May,

III. PRESENT CONDITIONS.

It. There is needto recoverthe old faith, for modernre-ligious life has mergedinto two main streamsof thought andpractice.

One fosters the sacerdotaland sacramentalidea, clothingthe priest and the sacramentswith magical power, mistakingcredulity for faith, and demandingobedience to laws whichChrist never sanctioned.

The other enthronesintellectual acquisitivenessabove theauthority of Scripture,makesmanhis own deity, the sinner hisown saviour,and his earthly attainmentshis only heaven.Thoughtricked out in a varietyof disguises,andparadingitselfin many forms, modernthought appearsto move towardsoneor other of thesetwo main streams.

Hence,multitudeshavequietly slippedout of the ranksofworshipers,believing the Church to be merely a relic of inef-fective sentiment,and are feverishly seekingin other channelsthe genuinelyrecreativeforcesof life.

I supposeit is also true to say that otherswho remain inthe church are but indifferent defendersof it. The obligationof church membershipsets lightly on many shoulders. Theyregardthe Church as a fellowship to be enjoyed, rather than asphere for sacrificial service.

As in thepast,so todaythe Church’sgreatestfoesare withinher own circle, and its gravestperil those who havelost faithin hermission andin hermessage. So I reflect upon

IV. THE TASK.

1. Betweenthe two main streamsof thoughtto which Irefer our work appearsto lie—”contending for the faith oncedelivered to the saints”; andit calls for the bestwithin us.

As the years pass,it would appearthat the needis greaterandthe work more and mor& difficult.

We may often feel it is just “marching round andround”our Jericho of entrenchedhostilities, which ought not to bethere,andwhich sofar give fewsignsof collapse. That iswherecouragefails.

2. The writer to the Hebrews tells of men always in aminority, whom God follows with thoughtsof loving pride andpleasure,carefully recording their successesas well as their

1930] ReformedEpiscopal Church.

failures. They arc men and women who believe in Him andHis Word, and who refuseto acceptdefeat. They maintain adogged,persistenteffort towards the highest they know, evenwhenit seemsfoolishto try anymore. Thesecourageousspiritsseemto haveaspecialplace in the thoughtsand care of the Godand Fatherof JesusChrist our Lord.

3. Thus we are remindedthat life will succeedand theChurchwill succeedonly in so far as we remain faithful to thegreat realities, holding them tenaciously, believing them im-plicitly, and applying them to life in spite of difficulty anddefection,thedrenchingof calamity,or the apparenthopelessnessof the task.

4. This lesson from Hebrewswill not be lost if we remem-ber that yesterday’sdead are, somehow,with us in the com-munion of today; that they will not enter into the final resttill we and they find that rest in the land of God’s promise,andin the glory of His accomplishedwill.

As we enter this holy service of commemorationand ap-proach the greatPentecostalfestival, let us realize afresh that“the promise is to us and to our children.” That spiritualpower is Christ’s pledge and promise to us; that it cannotbeproducedby religious machinery;that it is a product of some-thing deeperthan itself—it grows out of an inner personalfellowship with God andthe utter abandonmentof self to Hispurposes.

Hence the call today is to High Discipline, Self-C1ult e,Sacrificial Service, in submissivefellowship with God throughChrist.

Such expressionsmay seemvagneplatitudes,hackneyedandunreal;but that is the way of all ideals. They seemat first tobe as unsubstantialas the lure of the rainbow or the mysteryof the morning skies. But it was for thesethings that Jesusdied, for which the martyrs suffered,and to which our fatherspreparedthe heritage we occupy today. So I repeat,the callis to High Discipline, Spiritual Self-Culture and SacrificialService.

Dr. StanleyJones,in hisbook,“The Christof EveryRoad,”reminds us that the differencebetweena river and a swampisa matter of walls and banks,limitations and directions. Theswamp is very graciousand kindly, it spreadsitself over every-

S Appendixto burn 1, Twenty-sixthGeneralCouncil, [May,

thing, henceit is a swamp,the homeof corruption, diseaseanddeath;when it might be a river, confined to a certain courseby its banks, it refreshestheneedsof nature and men,andpres-ently bearson its bosom themeansof commerceandcommunion.

It is possible for a church to becomeeither a river or aswamp, to take in everything, from the shady to the sacred,ultimately 1)ecoining an unproductivesterility, or to be so pUi’ein heart,honestin purpose,clearin doctrine,andso constructivein policy, that though it be amoo-the smallestof its kind, canyet contribute life-giving and life-refreshing ministries to itsenvironment—andthis is the crown andglory of a churchwhichis the body of its Lord.

So I venture to appealfor a recovery of faith in the un-searchableriches of the Gospel—arenewedappreciationof thegreatfacts of our history, and a reconsecrationof life to thegreatopportunitieswhich lie before us.

About a year ago an incident occurredin London to whichI refer as illustrating my thought today. Ten thousandmenof the British Legion assembledin London to do homageat thenational cenotaph. They were marshalled in barracks, andmarched silently to the cenotaphat Westminster. They wereled by II. 11. H. the Prince of Wales. It was a moving sight.Many of them bore the marks of the conflict during thoseun-forgettableyears. Someblind, othersmaimed,were led by com-rades in the simple ceremony. On arrival at the baseof themonumentto the dead, amidst an eloquent silence, H. II. H.depositeda wreath which bore a legendlike this: “The Legionof the Living greetthe Legionof the Dead. We rememberyouthis day. We will betrueto that for which you died.”

Brethren, as a visitor from the old country, with no claimupon you andyour sympathy,than the claim of a common faithand comradeshipin the ranksof our Church, rememberingasI do the noble deedsand noble men whose servicesfor Truthin this great city is framed in historic splendor; recalling thegreat soulsof our own Church who havefallen asleep,thinkingalso of the agedandhonoredwarriorswho are still amongstus;mindful, too, of the great challengeof those days—Ihumblyinvite you to reconsecrationtoday, and say:

“We, the legion of the living, greetthe legion of our deadthis day in grateful memory. We recall their service;we com-

memoratetheir achievements;we honor the heritagethey haveleft us; andwe dedicateourselvesafreshto this holy enterprise.We marchon togethertoward the unknown future, resolvedtoknow nothingamongmensaveJesusChrist andHim crucified;following Him, if needbe, without the camp, confident of thisvery thing, that He which hath beguna good work in us willcarryit on till His appearingandHis glory.” Amen.

The Episcopal Recorderis published monthly in the interestof theReformed Episcopal Church, at 914 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.Its Post Office Box is No. 100g. The subscription price is $1.00 perannum,payablein advance.

It is one of the three oldest religious papers published in theUnited States, and seeksto give all the news of the Reformed EpiscopalChurch, without referenceto country or color.

It proclaimasthe old-fashioned Gospel of the grace of God as con-taimied in the Bible and Prayer Book, and as epitomized in the Articlesof Religion. aiid is distinctly evangelical, as it has been through themore than one hundred years of its establishment.

It is loyal to the attitude of the Reformed Episcopal Church as itwas fouiided. arid as it is expressed in the Declaration of Principles—and only so far is it partisan and conservative in character.

In its pages appear contributions from most of the prominentmembersof the ReformedEpiscopal Church. and from some outside ofthat communion,aiid it invites them from all.

It has many special (lepartmneilts,and seeksto furnish its readerswith a newspaperwhich will give 1)0th pleasureand instruction.

It is the only paperpublishedin theUnited Statesin the interestof the Reformed Episcopal Church. No progressivemember of thatChurch, who desii-es to be intelligently a supporter of the Church re-established by Bishop Cummins, can afford to do without TheEpiscopalReco’rder.

Sample copies always gladly furnished.
