A REMARKABLE PARISH.=On Sun
day evening before last, the Bishop of
Kansas confirmed 123 persons at st.
Mark Church, frankfort, Philadel-
phia, and 136 are to be added to the
Communion next Sunday. Of this
number, "A are members of a Bible
class that is composed of 1866 working
men, and 10 were from two lay classes
OF young. men, all taught 6y ladies.
A large number of those confirmed
were from other Bible classes. from
the Sunday School, and from the
Mothers meeting comprising $50
women of the working class. This is
the sixth year since judicious sys
tenn of lay cooperation was inaugur-
ated in that parish by its rector. the
Rev. ID. S. Miller, under the advice
and assistance of the late Bishop of
Pennsylvania. For five consecutive
years, 80 persons were added to the
Communion, making about 600 in the
last six years. Fra EaFa 46T5 fTrT.l !
- The excellent rector and his invalu-
able assistant, a perpetual Deacon,
attribute most of the aggressive work |
OF this parish to Gods blessing on
the labors of few very devout women |
who, by class instruction and house |
to-house visiting, carry the Gospel to
persons who never frequent the house
of God until compelled to come there
by constituting love. This little band
of ladies paid over 5000 visits last
year, carrying light and life to many
dark and inanimate heart, thus aiding
their ministers in reaching more than
5000 persons. The rector SAYS that
the intelligence and holy zeal of the
for Confirmation attest the
faithfulness of these teachers. That
this remarkable result is attributable
to Gods blessing on the Churchly
agencies availed of at frankfort is the l.
more evident, by comparing that live
parish with others that stagnate or
grow very slowly, although surrounded
by the same class efopersons, and that
are in other, results more favorably L
circumstanced. To accommodate this
large body of Worshipers the church
is open for tfve services each Sunday.
