chair, or throne of Office, from when
i he ISSUES, his mandates, here would
councils meet to devise plans for the
WORKING of the whole field; here would
ordinations be, performed; .Ience, as
from the mother church, would flow
out the wara tide Of love and blessing
to the uttermost limits Of the jurisdic-.
tion.
= SCHOOLS for the Jduth of both
sexes, not onyof the CITY, but of the
diocese, would here be fouDded and
matured Under the Bishops own eye,
receiving at once his pastoral over
sight and personal direction.

quirements of the city and diocese
