CONSIDERATION OF THE FREE CHAPEL OF
TRINITY CHURCH FOR THE SICK AND FRIEND
LESS THE visit of tho Bishop of Michigan and
the conservation of the chapel just erected for Trim
ity Church Home. are events which had been look
ed forward to with great deal of interest, and
which will be remembered by churchmen. Before
the departure of the Bishop OF this Diocese he had
requested his Ri Rev'd Brothe: of Michigan, to
celebrate this future service for him. The Bishop
arrived in our city on Tuesday, and preached in the
evening in Trinity Church. The subject of hisser-
mon was the example of our Blessed Lord as
pattern of perfect and unhesitating obedience TO all
the commandments and ordinances Of God, as
evidenced in his submission 10 the Baptism OF
John, Notwithstanding his owe undefiled and sin
less nature.
He again preached in the same Church, Wednes-
day evering. on the great questiOn-"What must
do to be savedl" dwelling upon the true answer sf
the apostle as interpreted by his immediate act in
baptising the jailor "ald all his, straitway' and
contrasting it with the whole sect system of mega
tive opinions and delusve feelings. Although this
sermon was entirely extemporaneous, yet it was
one of the most powerful and impressive to which
We ever listened and were therefore rejOiced TO
so large q congregation in attendance nOtwithsand-
| ing the unfavOrable state of the weather.
But the most interesting day for churehmen was
Thursday About 10 O'Clock the Clergy and LaIty
assembled at one of the houses Of the Home, from
which the procession moved towards the Chapel in
the following order:
The Managers of the Home
| The invited Clergy.
The officiating Clergy.
| The Bishop,
| Onreaching the door of the Chapel, the process
sion parted and the Bishop passed between its I'M
covered rauks followed by the whole in reversed
Order going up the aisle and repeating the twenty
fourth Psalm alternately the Bishop one verse and
the Clergy the other.
TEE earth is the LORDS and all that therein is
the compass OF the world, and they that dwell
therein.
, For he hath founded it upon the seas, and
/ prepared it upon The floods.
| B. Who shall ascend into the hill ofthe Lord or
| who shall rise up in his holy place
! 4. Even lie that hath clean hands, and pure
heart and that hath not lifted up his mind unto
vanity, nor sworn to deceive his neighbor.
/
and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
g. This is the generation of them that seek him;
| even Of them that seek thy face, o Jacob
/ Lift up your heads, o We gates; andIbe ye lifted
| up, ye everlasting doors; and the King OF glory
| shall come in.
| s. Who is the King of glory 1t is the LORD
strong and mighty even the LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, o ye gates; and be ye lifted
up, ye everlasting doors; and the King Of glory
| shall come in.
10 Who is the King of glory Even the LORD
ofhost5, he is the King of glory.
After all had reached their appointed places and
said their private devotions, the Hon. N. P Spauld
ing on behalfof the Board of Managers, presented
TO the Bishop the request to consecrate, who then
proceeded with the cObsecration of the Chapel, the
Rector of Trinity Church reading the instrument
of conservation.
Morning prayer was then said, in the newly con-
secrated house of prayer, by the Rev. Dr. Claxton,
and the Rev. Messrs. Walbrdge, Bonnar, Rich and
z'''aer79'zs r-i--'Ad Psalms were the S4th
the l22d and the l32d. Tbe Grst lesson was.
Kings, chapter sth, verses % to GO. The second
lesson, was Hebrews chapter 10, verse l9 to &c.
Morning prayer being ended, the Bishop proceed
ed with the Office for the Holy Communion, and
was sustained in the administration thereof by the
venerable 'Father Hail." and Rev. Mr.. Marks.
The Sermon was preached by the Bishop, and was
u very earnest and admirable exposition of the
sound doctrines CT the Church in regard to the set
ting apart Of particular places for the worship and
service of Almighty God aud the deep reverence
due to everything in and about them, when so con-
secrated and so set apart from all unhalowed, or
binary and common uses and dedicated to the SER
vice of Almighty God for reading His Holy Word,
for celebrating His holy Sacraments. for offering
to His glorious Majesty the sacrifices of Prayer and
thanksgiving, and for the performance Of all other
holy offices. At the conclusion of the Sermon the
Bishop made very earnest and touching appeal
in behalf of the charity, of which this Chapel and
house are the foundation.
The Bishop again preached, in the evening, in
Grace Church, on those remarkable words of our
Saviour, "Whosoever shall Go the will of my Faith
er which is in heaven, the same is my brother aud
sister aud mother" dwelling upon the tie which
binds all true Christians TO Christ and their exalted
privileges as tine SONS and daughters of the Lord
Almighty.
Upon all these services there was large attend
ance of the Clergy of the Northern part of the Do-
cese. all of whom seemed TO enjoy the intercourse
which they had with the BisnOp and with each
other.
