THE ARcHBIsHdP's ADDRESS.
Paz roota Peace be to youl Ny brethren, 10 what
words can better present to you my and ain
oerest greeting this OCCASION so full OF sacred and
solemn interest TO ALI In what better words than
hmsehs Peace be & you. This was tue gentle salu
taton which lie addressed to HIS apostles on his first ap
pearance among them after bis resurrection. These
were the words in which Ho sought aay their fears
dspe their xeties and bts rally their
and 10 revive their dropping confidence hope
their hrst joyful meeting after the OF Calvary,
and doubt ess at tnat moment His divine
flowing with tenderness love ALL doubtless he
desired much give them full and earnest assurance
OF the sentiments OF affection and OF kindness Of good
will which tiled his breast And yet the experiences OF
his emotion seemed to nnd other utterance than in
these few simple words "leace be to you" All was
there, all expressed in that-that oomprehended ALL
And now, beloved brethren this day, when appear
before you for the first time in the and changed
laions as the bishop and pastor or your souls now that
first meeting since the OF great and common
bereavement now since for me At least The sacrifice OF
t0nseparaon the diocese, from the clergy
aud from the laity whom so long fondly cherished now
that this painful sacrifice consummated and al
lance made and confirmed by the highest and the hoese
sanction, this day soemny ratified that, from
henceforth until the end sympathes become
closely niertwued and nterwoven that our spiritual
interests nearly blended and linked together de8
tnies IL be. for time and for eternity 80 irt
maey united What more desire than pour to
you IL possible, the whole abundance OF my heart
to speak 70 you tho words OF encouragement and hope
to wish for you evory blessing and every good and will
not have said all when repeat the words Of our
blessed Lord and Savionr, Par rbs Peace be TO
The peace indeed notsuch the world gives sucn
the world take away but the Saviours peace-the
peace Of God, which surpasseth all understands
peace which endureth forever II has been with you
beloved brethren. 1t with tho Apostles the
resurrection night Your hearts sad and troubled
The preate whom you had revered highytne father
whom you had loved so long aud well, was taken
from you; the JOY OF your eye-the pride OF
path; you felt that you bad been left orphans the
shining light OF the sanctuary was extinguished; the
Holy OF Holes was encompasssd with the gloom OF
mourniDg this church and OF New York sat widowed
and desoate for her great and good Archbishop
more. But now the scene is changed. The church s
holding high festival; high and even gracious festival
for the pail OF sorrow which had so long enveoped her
altar has disappeared the garment OF her wdowhood
hasbeen laid aside while she celebrates this day
with great pomp and spendor, her nuptias To-day
she receives another Spouse and receiving TO herself
spouse she gives to you another father and she too,
bids you t your heads In confidence and hope she
too soc.s you with the and blessed words OF peace
and her altar she bas already SAID to you, par uob
Peace be to But the father who Is sent to you and
who comes TO you this day knows full we'll that DO can
fill the high seat that he has been elected
il filled before still less he oil the void that has
been created In your hearts He knows full veil that
he cannot bring 70 you the same high gifts and endow
ments neither the same great intellect, nor the Same
and ascepdancy OF character nor the same wisdom
nor the commanding power OF eloluence his
predecessor All he bring you Is heart full OF fra
tenderness and tu Of zeal and devotion your
spiritual welfare and full OF socitude for all your best and
dearest nterests-the sanctiacation and salvation OF
your immortal souls. So then IL IN for me in
this hour conscious Of my own usuciency 20 ask the
return OF the peaceful salutaton with which greeted
