that five of the Episcopal Churches In Chicago
were utterly destroyed-Trlnity. Ascension,
st James, the Church of our Saviour, and St.
suited with several of the bishops In regard to
this matter, and it occurred to him that the
contributions made In the parishes of the
church yesterday throughout the country be
applied to the relief OF those of our own
church that have been rendered destitute.
Nearly every churchman had contributed IN
other capacities to the general relief fund, ana
hence the propriety OF directing the cnurca
contributions In the channel he had suggested.

that the proceeds OF the Offering OF yesterday
and subsequent offerings for the same purpose
be entrusted for distribution to the Rev. Cin-
ton Locke, Rev. W. H. Thompson and Judge
