earnest protest, Of all who ;lrc true to their
ordination VOWS. lie stated, however, that
the Diocese Of Virginia had been unusually
free from these innovations; but continued
exemption could only be insured by CONT
nllal vigilance. In conclusion, the Bishop
paid al earnest tribute to the liturgy of the
Church in its simplicity and purity, and
stated that during the fit'tyyearS of his min
istry he had found it Il desirable restraint,
and his love for ii had ever increased.
