taking his text from the 5th verse of the 4th
chapter of the I'd epistle Il Paul to Timothy
At the conclusion of his sermon (which We axe
sorry We have not room to notice more at

eusogy upon Bishop Vail, giving history ofthe
good work which lie had done, as well as the
great work Which he had before him. The ccre-
mony of conservation then took place, the ven-
cradle Bishop Keinper presiding. The services
ware solemn and impressive, whi e the soft,
swelling music OF the organ and excellent sing
ing of the choir made them the more beautiful
and touching. ~
Bishop Vail goes from among US with assu-
RANGES OF the love and respect Of all his late par
ishonels. However hard it may be for them to
part with him, they rejoice that the choice Of
of Kansas fell upon one who is in every respect
! so worthy of the honor thus bestowed We

Time enough to be sick, though then,
when the heart is troubled, and the body
