we do, only can we conquer.
Now. dear friends, for as such we have come
together to-day, the large deputatlon from the
mother churck of England which Joined you
Yesterday is glad to be with you. When we
saw the hundreds of communicates that flock.
ed around your altar, we felt that here the
cause OF Christ was flourishing. The principles
which were proclaimed Yesterday by The hon
ored servant Of the church are the PrincipleS
which should actuate us. The love OF Christ
It is that which binds us togetner-it IS tnai
which makes unity of spirit. We are called
of one God, and that God we should serve ID
oneness of spirit. This Is the spirit Whlcn must
animate you in all your Deliberations; IL VIII
never let you rend that which should oe TO-
gether, never dissever that church which Is
the body and blood of Christ He would now
speak more of that of which his heart was full,
| but as he was to be before them again on Mon
| day evening, he would not occupy further time.
| to the exclusion of those who accompanied
| him. He would leave to them to speak now,
but would pour out more OF bis heart on MOI
dsy evening. Now, may the spirit of brotherly
counsel bind us together; may we labor In the
common cause, and the Anglican Church pros
per and grow and spread its doctrines Of truth
and love over the globe.
The whole house responded with fervent
"Amen" to the last words of the Lord Bishop.
| THE BISHOP OF NASSAU.
DR.. Craik then presented the Right Rev. DR..
| Venabe, the Lord Bishop OF Nassau, a bishop
whose province lay on our Southern border.
The Lord Bishop OF Nassau advanced. 1t gave
him pleasure to have the honor OF being pre-.
sented before this body. He was deeply sensi'
come, but he hoped to escape making 9
speech: 1t was not In his line, but he thanked
| the gentlemen for the honor which they had
done him. He had the deepest interest In the
welfare of the church here; the ties which bound
hImto the church In the United States were OF
the closest nature. His islands were contiguous
| to the United States; they were only separated
| BY the Gulf stream, and that was no chilling
| line of separation. This gave him chance
every year to welcome his brethren Of the
church in this country. There were several
clergymen from the church here who had
taken parishes in his diocese, and who worked
faithfully. His grandfather had been one OF
the consecrators OF Bishop White and this had
brought him into more personal connection
by friendship with the priests and bishops OF
the American church. He had ever received
from them words of sympathy and kindness
rising above all the lines Of State, and showing
that oneness In our Lord makes an English
churchman your fellow-citizen.
THE DEAN OF CHESTER.
DR.. Craik then presented the Right Rev. DR..
Howson, the Dean OF Chester, man to whom
American churchmen owed lasting debt.
The Dean was the author of The Commentary
on the Epistles OF st. Paul, work which was
known and loved In every American house
hold.
The right reverend gentleman inclined his
head in acknowledgment of the terms OF com
mendation of the president He said that the
kind reception which be had met on his land
ing in New York and here emboldened him to
address them ln familiar language, dear friends
of the clergy and lalty. He could not speak
to the members Of this convention as strang-
ers. He had long hoped to be present OF such
convention, and to meet the churcnmen OF
this country. There were two here, one o
clergyman and the other layman, with whose
education he had had something TO DO. In
Chester attention was directed with much
warmth to the sister church in America, and
to this diocese (Maryland) particularly.
There are few books OF theology better
known In this country than the Exposition of
the Greed, &C., by Bishop Pearson. Although
for two hundred years this work had been
authority, previous to your great war no
memorial OF Pearson existed In Chester Ca
thedral Then friendly reproach came from
this side which caused measures to be taken
to erect memorial. 1t would take too long
to relate tho story Of the di.Serarr - of his
place of interment, Interesting though 1t was;
but suffice it to say that beautiful monument
to his memory now stood In Chester Cathedral
The first suggestions to erect that monument
came from here, and the first contributions
were sent from the Diocese OF Maryland.
The dean then read from the minutes OF the
Bishop Pearson Memorial Association, OF 24th
June, 1859, expressing their great obligation
to the Bishop of Maryland and his diocese for
contributions sent them. He also read from
the minutes resolutions OF thanks for the KIND
words OF announcement received from Blsnop
Whlttingham. The subscribers to the monu-
ment fund include forty.odd bishops, beside
Bishop WhittiDgham, and the Colonial Church,
then represented by the bishop OF New Iea-
land. IL was a happy coincidence that the
now bishop of Litchaeld should be here 10 near
the congratulations of Chester Diocese to the
Diocese of Maryland. He was glad TO KNOW
that what little he had done had been useiul
In American households-!hat his efforts IN
connection with another to elucldate the great
Apostle OF the Gentiles had done good In those
households. He felt that the bishop to whom
they listened yesterday had concentrated 10
his sermon the handspring OF the Apostle 3
action. His earnest words aud Impressive
manner must have been inspired by the lille
of the great Apostle. You possess great Or
ganlzali0n; cultivate one with another spirit
OF Individual and personal communion with
eur Lord and Saviour
He would now, with their permission. con-
clude by reading an address entrusted officially
10 him by his colleagues of the ancient Cathe-
dral of Chester. The address premises that
understanding that 1t is the Intention OF the
dean to attend the convention OF The church
| In America, they desire to express their cor
dial appreciation OF the object OF his visit, and
send their sympathy with the objects OF that
church. May 1t please our Divine Head TO
prosper her more and more in the great work
Of doing for Him, and unite us together 10
community of love. Tie address is signed by
the yice.dean, the canons, the honorary
canons, the minor canons, the precentor and
sacrist, and the deacon OF the diocese OF
Chester.
The president, Dr. Cralk, replied that in the
name of the convention he was most happy to
receive this expression of good will from the
ancient Cathedral of Chester.
THE RECTOR OF TREATHAM.
The president then presented the Rev. Dr..
| Edwards, rector of Treatham.
The Rev. DR.. Edwards commenced by read
ing paper signed By the dean OF Litchfeld,
the archdeacon and two hundred and eleven
of the clergy OF that diocese, expressing
their great pleasure that their father, the
bishop, had determined to visit the church 10
the United States, and to send by him their
sympathy and their heartfelt wishes for low
ing communion In Christ; hoping that God
will pour His spirit in large and larger meas
ure on our brethren ln America, and that we
all NAV be made one flock under the good
Shepherd, now and forever. An Impressive
amen seemed to burst from the lips OF all VINO
