RECEPTION OF BIsHoP STEveNs.-Yesterday
afternoon the reverend clergy of the Protestant
Episcopal Church OF this diocese convened, with
the students of the Divinity School, in ST. An
drew's Church, to welcome the Right Rev. Bishop
Stevens. ...
The exercises commenced with the reading of
the ante-communiop service, participated IN by
Rev. DR.. Morris, of Germantown: Rev. Or. New
ton, Rev. DR.. Morton, and Rev. j. w. Claxton.
A psalm was then well sung, by choir com
posed OF students from the Divinity School,
when Rev. DIR. Morton arose and delivered the
following address of welcome;-
Right Rev. Father in God-It is my pleasant
privilege, en- behalf of those present and many
to your diocese and your home.
We have all missed you much, for though
during your absence we have enjoyed efficient
and acceptable Episcopal services, still, no
Bishop is as our own Bishop, and we rejoice
that you are now among us. Our eyes followed
you anXiously in your various wanderlngs
abroad, and we were glad to see you turn your
back upon the smoke, fog, and foment of Lon
don, and recognize you IN the sunny south of
France, and on the border of the Medterra-
mean; but happest of all to find you are now in
our midst
Welistened anxiously to the various reports re-
garding your health, but We want no more infor-
nation on that subject, satisfied by your presence
that your long absence from home has been
productive of radical Improvement, and that
there is every reason TO believe that you will be
equal to all demands that can fairly be made on
your time and attention.
Once more, Right Rev. Father in God, l bid
you, In behalt OF my brethren, cordial welcome
to your home.
The Bishop then replied at much length, and
thanked the reverend brethren for this cordial
welcome, and would have been home again
long since only from the express order of his
attending physicians. His stay, however, had
not proved Improbable, as, in Italy and other
places, he had seen sufficient of other teachings
to convince him more 6rmy than ever that the
tenets and teachings of the Protestant Episcopal
Church were the proper ones to preach and ad-
vance among the people, and he had come home
with firm purpose of applying himself to the
holy work with renewed vigor and zeal, and he
hoped the entire clerical body would unite with
him. Again he thanked them most heartily for
their expressions of kindness and good WILL
Rev. Dr. Morton then proceeded to the Com
munion. Service proper. The Bishop conse'
Grated the elements, and the Holy Communion
was administered by the same four reverend
gentlemen who read the service of the Ante
Communion.
The congregation wasIthen dismissed, and in
vited 10 reassemble in the vestry of the church,
where pleasant time was passed in conversa-
tional religious matters, and the thorough re-
joicing among the clergy made manifest at the
safe return of their beloved Bishop.
