LETTER OF BISHoP-ELEcT EcCLEsroN.
PHILADELPHIA, July 81 1878.
Rev, j. S. REED, Chairman of the Committee Of tho
Convention of the Diocese OF Iowa.
REVEREND AND DEAR BRoTHER-When received your
notice two months ago OF my election TO the episcopae
of Iowa, received also protest against the 'manner
OF the election which bears the signatures OF
delegates from many of the parishes represented in con-
venton, and with request from these gentlemen to
give patient examination to tho matter before
ing My long delay has been that l might avoid
all appearance Of haste In answering But having
treated all parties with all respect could, must say
that the information far received by does not in
my Judgment sustain the charges upon which under
the protest be based Nor do the many other
grave questions started by the protest to TO
point to my declination duty in the premises. How~
ever. the Church in her wisdom has not left such
question to the judgment OF man, however honest
he may be in intention Happily, too, for ths
case, the standing committees exercise the right
to examine the entire when the testimonials
OF bishop elect laid before them and if nywhere,
surely we may expect Divine guidance when the highest
officers in the Church are deciding upon the election OF
the mead OF diocese. To such examination by such
a court, under such guidance, glad that this
must now be submitted. The decision way must
bind, and the decision the other way will wisely guide
my action
Praying our Gracious Master to control this final de-
cisiOn with kindest regards to yourself the otheP
members of the committee and in Christian love toward
all in and of your diocese, am, sincerely yours and
their brother in Christ j. II. ECCLESTON.

The Rev n W Conking of the Rutgers Presby-
tcrian church. returned from his last Saturday.
and yesterday morning preached to large consrcga-
ton. His text from Judges l., 15-"And she said
him, Give a blessing; for thou hast given me
southland; give also springs of water And Caleb
gave her the upper springs and the neither springs"
Tho name of the who made this request, said
the speaker, was Achsah She had been married not
long before Othncl the Of younger brother Of
her father Achsahs settlement in life in many
ways very pleasant one. Her husband brave,
chyarous young man. Of good habits and earnest pur-
poses He was also well provided for to the matter
Of inheritance in the promised land, for we'd
ding gift he he'd received from his we's father field,
and was, she says, southland, most desirable in
heritauce. But after time she comes back TO her
father profcring request She had, upon examining
HER INHERITANCE,
found that il lacked springs Of water without these it
almost useless Hence she immediately applies to
her father 10 remedy the defect. And her father
answered her at once, in the fullest kindness OF noble
and loving hearted man, giving her the upper springs
and also the neither springs.
This is the story simply told Of Caeb's gifs There
Is religious class which holds to the idea that there
is a mystical sense belonging to the letter Of

arguing with any such idea, we yet cannot fail to see
that many relations OF scripture which are, at nrst

same time suggest immeasurably higher truths. One
such relation this Of the text in reference to Achsahs
