1034 THE GUARDIAN, JULY 6, 1898. has been provided for the Bishop of Rochester. The surplus availablo for providing a residence for the see of St. Albans 3.800Z. A sum of 2,5001.

has been expended in the purchase from Lord Grimthorpe of a site near the cathedral, and a balance of about 1,3002. remains in the hands of the Commissioners as a nucleus of the fund which will be required for the erection of the residence. The Bishop (says the St. Albans Diocesan Magazine) has no intention of pressing the matter on at present by appealing for sufficient funds for the erection of a residence. The Bishop of Lincoln has offered the residentiary canonry and sub-deanery of Lincoln Cathedral, vacant by the death of Sub-Dean Clements, to the Rov.

Edward Tucker Leeke, Chancellor, and the residentiary canonry and chancellorship now held lty Chancellor Leeko to the Eev. John Henchman Crowfoot, Vico-Chancellor and Canon non-residentiary. The offer has been accepted in each case. The Yorkshire Post states that it is understood that in consenting to exchange the chancellorship for what is nominally an inferior office in the cathedral body Chancellor Leeke has been actuated by a deBire to be yet more free to devote himself to educational plans. The Bishop of Rochester has conferred the honorary canonry in Rochester Cathedral, vacant through the death of the Rev.

L. Tugwoll, upon the Rev. G. H. W.

Although he was glad to have been promoted to St. Dionis's, Fulham, hb would novor forgot his first incumboncy, and hoped to sco thorn often in tho future. He was glad to feel that every debt on every parochial fund had boon paid off, and that, after clearing every oxponso in connection with tho pariah up to tho timo of his departure, ho would bo able to hand overto his successor a sum of about 2002.

The Archbishop of Canterbury preached at St. Peter's, Eaton sqnaro, on Sunday week on behalf of the Ontario Church Commemoration Fund. His discourse was listened to with marked attention. After setting forth the method adapted in Apostolic times by St. Paul and that the strong should help the Grace urged upon his hearers the great need of some outside assistance which the diocese of Ontario was requiring at the present time, its funds being brought to avery low ebb, and that through no fault of its own.

Since 1894 no less than three other members of his family besides himself havo been in the Mission. On St. Peter's Day a great missionary demonstration took place at Richmond, Yorkshire, promoted for the purpose of arousing interest in the cause of foreign Missions.

A procession took place from the Town-hall to the parish church, headed by the Corporation Band in uniform, following which came the choirs and churchwardens from the various villages in the rural deanery and the clergy.

The annual meeting was held at the Church House in the afternoon, and was attended by delegates from Canterbury, Ashford, Clapton, Bath, Brighton, The President, in his annual statement, said that the steady progress which tho guild had been making for eighteen years received a slight check last year by the dissolution of one of their most nourishing parochial wards through a change of incumbent.

The members actually on tho roll were 16 clergy, 21 lay brethren, 96 Bisters, 124 associates, and 129 juvenile associates. They had 9 juvenile and associate wards in parishes, and 6 Bishops had become honorary associates of the guild. They had many excellent testimonies to the soundness of their principles and objects from missionary Bishops and others, which showed that if the Church authorities at home were cautious in recognising the guild, those who had actual experience of the Mission field valued and welcomed it most cordially. An appeal has been issued for the extension of tho work of the Diocesan Home Missions, signed by Canon Valpy and the Rev. A.

E. Daldy, and commended by the Bishop of the diocese. It is also desired to establish a diocesan clergy- house for tho accommodation of four diocesan Mission clergy. The annual festival of the Horbury House of Mercy was kept on Thursday. A solemn celebration of the Holy Eucharist was sung in tho chapel at 9 a.m., followed by Te Deum and intercessions at 3 p.m.

in the parish church. The Bishop of Wafojield, preaching from Psalm lxiii. 8, said that God, as He reveals Himself in Holy Scripture, and especially in the Incarnation, invited man to communion with Him. The virtues needed to overcomo the great difficulties of penitentiary work could only bo acquired in a life of close communion with God. Tho friends of the Horbury House of Mercy could look back with thankfulness to signal blessings from God, not only upon their efforts to extinguish the debt, but also upon what was of greater consequence, its spiritual work in reclaiming the fallen, as shown by tho high percentage of satisfactory cases.

And, therefore, they could face the future with confident expectation that their prayers and efforts would be continually blessed. The service, which had been attendod by a large congregation, was followed by tea at the House of Mercy. Canon Sharp briefly welcomed tho Bishop as visitor of the institution, and the Bishop, in reply, expressed his sympathy with tho work, which he commended to the support of all right-minded people. A legacy of loft by the first Mother Superior, has become the nucleus of further ifts, which will, it is hoped, extinguish the debt on tho new uildings before the end of the year. A well-attended drawing-room meeting was held, by permission of Mr.

Sydney Buxton, M.P.,»t 15, Eaton-place, on Friday, on behalf of St. Mildred's House, the ladies' settlement in the Isle of Dogs. Mr. Sydney Buxton, who presided, explained that St Mildred's House had been established as a residence for ladies who were willing to help in religious, social, and educational work among tho women and girls of that somewhat isolated district. Having established tho settlement, which was affiliated to St.

Margaret's House, tho ladies' branch of the Oxford House in Bethnal-green, difficulty was experienced in finding ladies who would go there not only casually and at intervals, but would reside there for a certain speciiied period and. assist in much needed work on behalf of tho very largo number of women and girls employed in the various factories of the district. Mrs. Creighton spoke of the progress which had been made in the matter of women's settlements of lato years and of the need which existed for more workers. They did not want to make their settlements hospitals for moral invalids, but wished to secure the best and tho brightest workers.

If each settlement had attached to it a large band of oung women who were prepared to give one, two, or three months a year, and follow in regular succession, the continuity of tho work would be maintained and the lives of thousands of peoplo would be brightened. The Bishop of Stepney described the difficulties of life in the East-end and appealed for more sympathy and help. Other speakers included Miss A. M. Harington, head of St.

Mildred's House, and the Rev. G. F. Holdeu. A collection was made at tho close in aid of the fund3.

The Mayor of Southampton presided last week at the official opening of the Winchester piocesan Church Army Labour Home, French -Btreet, Southampton. There was a large and influential gathering, and speeches in hearty commendation of tho work were delivered by tho chairman, Canon Durst, the Chancellor of the diocese; the chaplain of Wormwood Scrubbs Gaol (the Rev. A. W. Baldwin), Colonel Parker, and others.

The hon. social secretary (3fr. Co Jin F. Campbell) explained that the whole of the initial cost of adapting, furnishing, and equipping the home had been generously defrayed by one of the diocesan clergy and his wife, and made a strong appeal for funds to carry on the work. The fifth annual meeting of the Church Society for the Promotion of Kindness to Animals was held, by permission of Mr.

William and Mrs. Lowthcr, at Lowther Lodge, Kensington-gore, on Saturday. Colonel Barrington Foote presided. Tho report submitted by the Rev. F.

Lawrence (hon. secretary) stated that the organisation helped proachers, teachers, and lecturers to enforce from their own standpoint and in their own way the Christian obligation of being actively kind to all living beings. It was the necessary complement of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. During the past year many preachers and teachers were gained to the cause in far away districts as well as in large towns. Church institutions in every parish ivere made use of, and every Church worker had become, ex officio, a member of the society.

More than 500 persons, mostly incumbents of parishes, had become local hon. secretaries. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, urged the necessity for pleading the cause of kindness to animals, and remarked that it was the duty of the Church to.
