| of the clerical and lay delegates Of
the Thirtleth Annual Convention.
The Convention was adjourned at
eleven o'clock, and proceeded in a
body, the lay members in front, and
followed by the clergy in their robes,
headed by the Bishop. A largenum-
Der of the congregations of the three
Episcopal parishes, and friends gen
orally, were present, including His

think it mistake in not0arranging
for the ceremonies at say 5 o'clock in
the evening.
The Bishop, the clergy, the ward
ems and vestrymen of the parish, pro-
ceeded from the chapel door to- the
northwest corner of the foundation,

nately) the 122d Psalm, commencing

me, We will 60 into the house of the
Lord.'''' se II 81 3gq 0g .oX

ton, followed by prayer, after which
the rector of the parish, Rev. Horace
Stringfellow, Jr., read the inscrip-
ton on the stone and the articles de-
posted, as follows:
